his/her big debut! I’m thrilled for them.  They are starting a new phase of life that is completely overwhelming to me. I feel like I’m just in awe.  I’m constantly stating the obvious and exclaiming things like “EMILY, You’re having a BABY!” …….. Well duh, Katelyn.  I’m just so excited!! Time is flying by! Am I really old enough to have one of my best friends having a BABY?! I’m so glad she’s doing this first. I expect her to be a pro by the time Michael and I start thinking about having kids so that I can get some hand-me-downs and a ton of advice!:)

Em, you’re beautiful. I always knew you would be absolutely adorable when you became pregnant one day. However, as I scrolled through these images, it has never been more obvious that this is what you were made for. You’re stunning. I’m so thankful that I’m around so that I can be a part of this baby’s life. Michael and I are praying for you two as you become parents for the first time!!! Enjoy some of my favorites and thank you for being super photogenic and making this my fastest portrait session EVER! It’s amazing what you can accomplish in 15 minutes!

Emily….this is amazing. You’re gorgeous. 

So we only had about 20 minutes of natural light left when we started their mini-session. These two have had some practice in front of the camera! You can see for yourself, HERE and HERE! So they rocked it and I’m so thankful we were able to get some money shots even as the light was fading so quickly!

Dear Lord, when this is me one day…can I PLEASE look this good?! Thanks.

Love it.

And not to be a debbie-downer, but I should probably start announcing that I will not be shooting portraits anymore. Portrait sessions will only be for family and friends. I wish I could continue to shoot everything under the sun but realistically, that’s just impossible. Weddings are my passion and so I’ll be focusing more on engagements/weddings in the future! More on this later! Hope you enjoyed this session!! Congrats to Seth and Em!!
