Cindy + Mike = One Rockin' Maternity Session!

Mike & Cindy are two of our absolute dearest friends. They are definitely some of our "AZ Family" as our blood family is so far. Their friendship means the world to us. We have been praying for this baby for YEARS and so we, of course, had to celebrate little Brielle's impending arrival with an awesome photo shoot! We had so much fun with this, and Cindy chose the most amazing outfits (definitely my fav is the blue & orange dress that makes her the hottest mama on the planet!!) She also wanted some locations that communicated "new life." Check out the insanely green grass and sunflowers!

M+C: You 2 are going to be incredible parents. This new role that God has designed for you will be the highest calling you will ever have, and I have no doubt you will answer amazingly. Brielle is one lucky girl. I can't wait to continue this adventure with you...all the way til our children are wed and beyond!! :) Love you both!

Difficult to decide which of these next two is my favorite...love them both so much!

HOT MAMA!

Check Out This Hot Mama!!

I am sooo happy with how this shoot turned out!  Cindy is so gorgeous and she and Erick are going to be such loving, attentive, and sweet parents to their little girl.  I can't wait to meet her! We tried some new spots with this shoot and I am loving them so much.  I think Erick & Cindy were a little unsure of my vision for a lot of these shots, but they were awesome sports about trekking through thorn bushes and mud, and laying on boards that were not so stable.  :)  Thanks guys!  I hope you enjoy your pics!  I can't wait for newborn ones!

All those little yellow glowing dots are actually a million tiny bugs that we had to fight through!  They turned out surprisingly well in the photos though!  Kind of like fairy dust!  Hehe.

My absolute favorite image of the day...

I don't normally do a lot of  "studio" shooting, but for maternity sessions, I feel like it just works.  So we set up a "studio" in my living room and went crazy!  They turned out pretty good if I do say so myself!

I usually don't colorize my images (you know, make one color stand out), but their nursery is pink and brown, so I thought these were appropriate with the sepia toning too.  My new favorite prop...a pink boa!  It will definitely make an appearance in the newborn shoot!

Thanks so much you guys!  I had a blast!  See you next month!

Erick & Cindy Sneak Peek!

So, I love love LOVE maternity shoots.  And Cindy is the cutest little pregnant mama, not to mention a new friend!  I had so much fun with these guys last night, I just had to post a couple so they could see a little teaser!  Here you go, guys!  Enjoy!
