So a little bit back Amanda asked in the comment section for some maternity pics of me….problem is I prefer being BEHIND the camera, so I didn’t have any. That and you aren’t about to get me to wrap gauze around my bare belly in front of a camera. I decided to take advantage of the beautiful snow and get a few pregnant shots. Chris deserves an award for dealing with me when it comes to me being in front of the camera. I got all the settings where I wanted and was SO PICKY about angles…poor guy. I played with the post-processing a little more than normal. If you know me well, these will probably make you laugh – my attempt at a “model” serious face
If my neighbors didn’t already think I was crazy, I am sure they do now after seeing me in a tank top in the snow…..


This one is my favorite, it is totally out of focus – but I love the mood of it. Guess pics don’t have to be sharply in focus afterall…
