Maternity Pictures

I have this beautiful, wonderful friend who is a fantastic photographer.

Her name is Angel but I call her Angelita 

(the "g" makes an "hu" sound. Hehe.) 

Angelita called me last week and offered to take maternity pictures. 

I was originally going to tell her no because she is a busy mother of two, a wife, a student, and an employee.

How could I take even an hour of her time without feeling selfish, guilty and insensitive?!

After she lovingly chastising me we decided to go up the canyon and do a photo shoot. :)

We chose the canyon because, as explained in an earlier post, Trav and I love fall.

We love fall colors.

We love fall weather.

We were married in the fall.

We are welcoming our first child in the fall.

Fall, fall, fall!!!

Unfortunately Travis wasn't able to attend because he was working. 

These would have been so much better with him in them - but we'll gratefully take what we can get.

Here are just four "teaser" pictures from the shoot.

Thank you, Angelita, for such a wonderful time. 

Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with me.

Thank you for being determined that I get maternity pictures taken.

They turned out beautiful.

I'm so grateful.

I love you!!!
