Harden Baby Belly Shoot on the blog!

I met Kim and Daniel at Daniel's sister's wedding last October, Kim was just barely pregnant. I was so  happy when Kim called and I look forward to meeting Alexis at the hospital and begin to capture this new family and their MOMENTS together!

Mandy's Belly Sneak Peeks!!!

Here is a sneak peek of Mandy and Jake (and baby Taylor's) photo shoot!

This is one of my favorites!!!

This was a new idea we tried for this shoot...love it!

These next few are new ones too...

Not just bride and grooms should dip in pictures...Mommy's and Daddy's too!

Pretty mommy...

Love this one too...

I hope you enjoyed viewing Taylor Madison's first shoot...looking forward to meeting her soon!

Tara's (and Family) Prego Belly Shoot!

I did this photo shoot about a week ago...Tara was about 3 weeks away form her due date!!! I loved this photo shoot for many reasons, who doesn't love belly shots (and 3 posts down we did finger painting!!!) BUT the real reason I loved this shoot is because I had the honor of photographing their wedding just this past May! (to view their wedding blog post go to http://www.amomentofjoyweddings.blogspot.com) I love being able to meet couples, capture their wedding day story..and then it doesn't end there...I get invited back to capture the next events of their lives...I am so lucky to have a job where I get to celebrate with people I grow to care about and and be a special part or lives! OK on to the pics....there are 4 posts total of Tara'a Belly Photo Shoot.....ENJOY! This was really funny to shoot...Som doesn't have a belly AT ALL...we kept trying to get him to stick out his tummy and touch his to hers...well what do you do if you don't have a tummy??? Yo

I love this one!!!

Finger Painting FUN!!!

This I think was the funnest photo shoot I have ever done! Tara called me months ago to set up an appointment with me to do a pregnancy shoot with finger painting! I have been so excited about this one! It worked and turned out exactly how we thought it would!!! Here is their 5 year olds hand prints...

The whole families hand prints...we realized Tara's would have to be upside down!!!

Getting ready to make some real art NOW!!!

And there he goes...

Look at the mess they made!

The finished product...imperfect..but a work of art!!!
