I made the announcement on facebook and twitter a couple of weeks back but now that my belly is starting to pop out I thought I might make it official on the blog. Tim and I are expecting our first little one on or around November 3rd! If I look a little sleepy in that picture it’s because I AM. All the time, in fact. I have practically spent the last three and half months taking one long deep nap. Lucky for me, though, I have completely escaped morning sickness (apart from a few weeks of needing to keep crackers by my bed) and I am definitely starting to feel more closer to normal. Pants are officially too tight and I had to buy a few maternity staples this week to bring back feeling comfortable- although, I have a feeling I am going to be spending the summer in dresses. Baby is already the size of a lemon- moving around in there, making little faces, and maybe even sucking it’s thumb! We are so excited to find out if it’s a little boy or girl… either way, couldn’t be more thrilled for what the journey will bring us!

In celebration of our baby news, I wanted to extend an offer :

Who knew when Yelena and I met at a little sandwich shop on Larchmont in Los Angeles that she would soon become my friend, wedding planner, would move with her husband up to the bay area shortly after me, become even a closer friend, and that I’d be soon photographing her maternity session! It’s been a wild couple of years for both Yel and I and I am so glad to call her not only a colleague but a dear friend. I am so happy for her and Mike and can’t wait to meet little Audrey! (who actually entered this world early last week )

Yelena is a seriously talented event designer and it was no surprise that she pulled together this gorgeous space for little Audrey to spend her childhood in. Not to mention that she pulled together such elegant attire for her self…

These images and more about Yelena’s decor choices are on On To Baby today- check out the post!

I photographed Nolan’s Mom and Dad’s wedding awhile back and was so happy to have the chance to document another huge moment for them this past spring. Nolan is such a calm and collected little guy with the brightest blue eyes I’ve ever seen (just like his mama!) … He’s probably twice this size by now but I wanted to share these images before he got to college.
