One of my good friends is pregnant with baby boy #2.  Before he makes his grand entrance in a couple months, we had to take some pictures of her in her glowing state.  Isn't she STUNNING? 

PS- I know there are a LOT of pictures in a similar pose of her laying down...but I loved them all, I even deleted a few I was planning to put up because I thought it was a little over the top:/ 

Anddd, I've never read the book belly laughs, but so many of these pictures remind me of the title:)

Courtney was a beautiful bride, but dare I say an even more beautiful mom-to-be! She asked me to take some belly shots to surprise her husband, Rod. I hope he likes them!



















I can't wait to meet baby Cayden! 

Oh boy...or girl! | Greensboro Maternity Photographer

I was honored and excited when Susannah asked me to photograph she and her husband's private gender reveal. You see, a LOT of people are excited about this baby. What's the big deal you might be thinking, people are ALWAYS excited about babies, what makes this one so much more special?

Last year, shortly after I met Susannah, what started out as a routine prenatal visit turned into a three-day stay in the hospital and the delivery of her stillborn angel girl. She was so excited for her baby and several hearts broke for her and Ben the day we found out. When I found out she was pregnant again, my heart soared for her. Ben and Susannah are such amazing people and I'm always amazed at how open she is to sharing her feelings and experiences with others. For those who might be experiencing the same thing, feel free to visit their blog to find comfort, motivation, and understanding through your difficult time.

Now on to the pictures:)









The balloons struggled coming out at first...



Then after Ben helped them they got swept away pretty much instantly, dang wind!























OH BOY!!!! I am so happy for this new addition to their family and can't wait to meet the little fella. Congratulations, Ben and Susannah!

ps- aren't they so cute together?

I took pictures of my growing belly throughout my pregnancy from 12.5 weeks through her first weeks of life.
