Freckle Face Strawberry

My best friend is having a baby girl and I am just pretty doggone excited for her! =) We're doing her actual maternity session in about a month but I am helping throw her a shower later this month and wanted to have some belly shots to show off at it. The theme is based off a fun kids' book called "Freckle Face Strawberry" which I think is just about right for Kayla. I can say that, because I'm a freckle face too!

This session was at noon so it was ridiculously hot and bright. Mark and Kayla were total troopers though and didn't even complain once. We'll definitely be shooting the next one at night though.

Kayla has such a beautiful belly and totally rocks the pregnant look. Can't wait to see how big she is for the next round!


Hi baby!


This may be my favorite shot of the day...






They are going to make such good parents.


They were cracking me up before this shot! Kayla made Mark take stuff out of his pocket and get situated just right before she laid down on his lap. Cute.


Another favorite.


Ah, finally some shade!






Mark is such a good artist so I had to have him finger paint a strawberry on her belly for the shower.


The end. Stay tuned though, because you'll be seeing a lot of these two and the new little one coming up soon! I can't wait!
