I love when I am contacted by friends about scheduling with me, it makes me smile. I have know Christy since she was a cute and chubby Elementary schooler and I her chiken-legged-skinny classmate. Then the years went by and our friendship grew, we graduated High School, and both met and married the men of our dreams. And now she’s expecting a beautiful boy come December! I can’t wait to watch her become a mommy. I had such a fun morning with her and Alex roaming the countryside and enjoying using all the beautiful scenery. I have SO many favorites from this session it’s a little bigger of a sneak peek than usual. Oh and some side notes that I noticed: #1 there are a lot of portrait oriented images in this session which is unusual for me, I’m usually a landscape kinda girl. #2 The colors in this shoot were so rich and warm I couldn’t bring myself to change any of them to black and white for this post.

So…I have always made fun of Christy’s fabulously double jointed fingers and I thought it would be appropriately sentimental to get a spoof shot involving those crazy phalanges of hers. I’m sure you can spot all the funny elements without me pointing them out to you….

















Wow. She’s such a beautiful mommy to be
You’re so beautiful Christy! I love the hay bales picture, but your expression in the first one with your tummy bared is perfect. You do a wonderful job Cali.
