A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking some belly shots for a super beautiful, cool, delightful girl named Emily, who just a few days ago gave birth to a (I'm sure beautiful and all of the above) little girl named Elliot Louise :)... And wow, I'm just CRAZY about that name! 

Emily was due on April 25 so we did the pictures on the 7th - I believe she was 37 or 38 weeks... which you would want to know if you were ever thinking about doing belly shots. I would say 35-39 weeks is the ideal time to get your maternity photos done. 

So without further adieu, here are some of my favorites from our little session!

With all the rain we've had I thought this shoot might never happen! I believe it was rescheduled like 3 times before mother nature finally agreed to cooperate. We did part of this session downtown, one day, and the other part at our farm another day. Anyways, meet Meredith and Travis! Meredith had a great idea, she wanted a maternity shoot, but not quite like Erin's. She wanted something more like one of our engagement shoots. It wasn't an engagement shoot, Meredith and Travis are already married, but they wanted an engagement-like shoot that incorporates the belly :) Make sense? If not, you'll see!!  

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
xo

Oh, and they also wanted to incorporate these two munchkins. Sooo cute!! Their names are Blanche and Rose like on the Golden Girls --haha.

Meredith is 38 weeks now!!  We did these about a month ago so she was about 34 weeks.... I think that was pretty good timing for the pics - big but not too big ;)

I'm (Natalie) in Hilton Head right now and literally as I'm typing this, I'm wondering if my friend Erin is going to come into the room and say, "It's time to go to the hospital." She is ready to P-O-P! I came down here for a few days to help her pig-out and be here in case she goes into labor before her induction tomorrow ------and just to have a few last days of R&R before we get super slammed with the wedding season.

Erin is one of my best friends and pretty much the most laid back person I know - AND, she's tough as nails... and I'm pretty sure any one of our girlriends would say the exact same thing. So, being the most laid back person in the world, even in this most uncomfortable state,  Erin was like "yeah, sure" when I said let's go outside and take some pics today.  

OH, one thing -  I forgot my memory cards as I grabbed my camera at the last minute and so I was limited to 100 pics, which is NOTHING for me, like 20 minutes. So, that's why there's not that much variety, this was a really short shoot.


Here are a few of my favorites. 
ERIN - you are one HOT MOMMA!!

Right here Erin is thinking, "Natalie, I hate you and gnats are biting by butt."
