My friend…

Spent some time with my wonderful friend who is getting ready to have her second baby. Since our schedules are so different and we can’t seem to find the time to go shoot in a gorgeous field somewhere, we opted for a few shots in our backyard while our toddlers ran amuck. If this were a real estate deal, “location, location, location” would not have been on the list of sellable features. Between tripping on toys, dodging dog poo landmines, and the fact that our backyard is more of an undeveloped campsite than an actual “yard”, her gorgeousness (is that a word?) still shines through. I am insanely jealous of her thick black locks and exotic features and the fact that she still weighs less than me at 8 months pregnant. What I am not jealous of is the fact that she is having another girl as the one I have is already aging me like the carousel in Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes”.

See what I mean about gorgeous…

Yep. This is the last few months of your life where the world revolves around you little one. Eat it up!

Ahhh…yummy light, amazing subject, dirty backyard. Wait…one of these doesn’t fit.

I think she has her own ideas of what a “new baby” means to her…

And of course a few of our little ones together playing oh so gently with rubber babies and plastic carrots. Too bad neither of them actually like real babies or real carrots.

To further emphasize my point…

Signing off with a little trip on the trike. Not sure what they were looking at but whatever it was, it held their attention longer that we could ever dream to.

Can’t wait to meet the new addition to the crew! Now, let’s go find a buttery golden field and get some real maternity shots 🙂
