Oh What a Beautiful Belly!

Amid the chaos of returning from vacation, dealing with a broken A/C and preparing to send my boy to kindergarten, there was this little oasis of light and joy.  This beautiful couple and their wiggley baby bump. It’s so exciting to share in the anticipation, to know that someday that little girl will look at these photos and marvel at her origins.

Such a cute family

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

I completely understand that rain in August in Texas is never a bad thing. I’m not going to complain.

Well, maybe I’ll complain just a little. Things were looking great for a shoot at the Arboretum Saturday morning. It was cooler, nice cloud coverage with just a little sun, not too crowded… perfect!! For about 10 minutes. Then came the deluge. Luckily we had staked out some picturesque, if humid, shelter to wait out the storm. The kiddos held up pretty well, all things considered.

Nothing like a moving gate to take your mind off the storm

Eventually the rain did go away, and the tutu came out to play

Still, I’ll take a rainy day over 105 degree heat any day. And these kiddos are cute rain or shine.
