Steven & Lauren Maternity Session

So, I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but I do LOVE to take photographs.  Even more so, I love to take photographs of things that I love and one of them is bellies.  A couple months ago, while working at McDuff's I met the cutest couple.  They were having a baby!  When pregnant woman come into my work I feel as if I have an instant connection to them after having Colin.  I think I act like we're best friends and I'm sure most of these girls think I'm totally nuts.  Well, in one of our conversations I mentioned that I loved to photograph and asked if they would let me take some shots of them while Lauren was pregnant...they agreed. 

New, well new to me camera

So, a family member just got a new dslr camera for Christmas and decided it was time to get rid of her old 35mm.  She decided to give it to me!!! yaaaay me!!! I got to use it today and it was so much fun.  It's kind of along the same lines of not finding out what the sex is of your baby and when they come out, you're like, "wow, not what I expected, but VERY cool!"  So, needless to say I've got lots of learning to do, but here are a couple photo's I snapped today at our local State Park.  Yes, you heard me right, Calimesa has a State Park!!!  Enjoy

Me and My Sister

I know some sisters who only see each other on Mother's Day and some who will never speak again.  But most are like my sister and me... linked by volatile love, best friends who make other best friends ever so slightly less best.  ~Patricia Volk
