Pretty mama to be! {shawna everett photography}

This is itsy bitsy Linh and her husband ! They are expecting 

a baby boy in July and I was really excited to

meet them at Gemini Springs for their pregnancy shoot

this past weekend. It was a little hot out, but once we got into 

the Orlando Magic clothing, things got more relaxed

and fun. I think she's just about the cutest pregnant

mama ever, don't you? !

Eli will be a big brother… {shawna everett photography}

Elijah is so lucky! He will be a big brother very soon. 

I can tell he will be an excellent help to mommy and he

will be a very good big brother to his new lil' brother!

Elijah did great during our shoot. He had a lot of fun

painting mommy's belly and running around in the park.

He is a great little guy and one of the sweetest I know. 

Now, lets bring on one more adorable Baldillo baby...

I can't wait to meet Kelley and Eric's next little guy!

And baby makes four… { shawna everett photography}

Again, Mandy and her sweet, sweet family came to 

Gemini for a pregnancy shoot with the kids. 

We found out some great news…. that she will 

be having "bookend boys!" YAY!!  So happy for

this family. Can't wait to meet Mr. J when he arrives. 

The kids, per usual… did awesome. We got some of

the cutest mommy/child portraits. Good family shots too.

I'll never tire of these blondies and the strawberry blond

in the middle, either!!! 

One lucky baby. {Deland Pregnancy photography}

Mandy and Josh are getting ready for their 

fourth arrival! Yes, fourth... and I have to say

that is one lucky baby. This baby will be born into one 

of Florida's prettiest families. He or She will have the cutest

siblings on earth,  therefore genetically guaranteeing their own cuteness. 

He or She will have one very beautiful and patient mom who 

is so excited to have one more baby. He or She will have loads

of fun and memories playing with and learning about all 

their big brother and sisters. And I'm lucky too, because

I get to do a whole bunch more shoots with this incredible

and happy-go-lucky family! Starting with: this pregnancy shoot!

See you guys again real soon. :))

Sunset at the Dog Beach {pregnancy photos NSB}

Awe, these dogs were sweethearts.  Ava and Tyson got a 

special trip to the dog beach to pose with mommy who is

expecting her own puppy in four weeks! They did great

and more importantly, Danielle was sparkling with a 

gorgeous baby bump. I had a fantastic time traveling down to 

New Smyrna beach to capture a very special time in 

Danielle and Joey's life. I'm so happy I got to do it! 

Thank you guys, you were terrific! I really look forward 

to meeting Mr. Joeseph Anthony when he makes his

debut!  More photos to come in a few days...

I see Love {Pregnancy Special Sessions}

Well we'll roll down dirty old windows
And sing with our eyes closed
Belt out the high notes
And we'll go down to the beach where the wind blows
And we'll throw off our old clothes
And we'll dance with our eyes closed

Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to achieve a new direction, to step onto a different path. Although the following photos may or may not express that to you, they do to me.  It's no secret that I've been ready to try something new for awhile. After years of outside "park" shoots, I decided to step into the studio (a very new location for me) and try my hand at something I put together myself, something I felt I put a little more creativity and thought in to. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did making them. The girls were incredible to work with, and they were all so kind and responsive to my ideas.

Ashley, Heavenly and Jessica. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your pregnant bodies are truly
beautiful and I hope you feel beautiful in the photos. Enjoy this short and precious time and know not every woman gets to carry life into the world within their own body. Appreciate it. Thank you all for being a part of the shoot. Also, a BIG shout out and thank you to Dave Hansen for use of his studio and Nichole Robins-Bowling for an awesome job with hair and makeup.

If anyone reading this would like a similar shoot, please contact me. I'm excited to collaborate with anyone. Your shoot will include a fine art canvas for your home. To always remember this time.

The sun shines on Rosemarie… {pregnancy photos}

I was delighted to meet another one of Dr. Lopez's

patients (he was my ob/gyn), Rosemarie! She was the

sweetest thing ever, and is so excited about becoming

a mom. We had quite an eventful day, weather-wise. 

In the end, it ended up being pure magic. Sometimes when

you take a risk and decide to shoot despite it being cloudy or rainy,

the sun will come out and surprise you at the very end. That is 

exactly what happened to me and Rosemarie. 

It really was a wonderful moment, the sun coming out just 

for her, it seemed, at the very end. Shining through all the mist 

and fog. She is a beautiful lady, and she deserved it.

Thank you for coming, Rosemarie!

Pregnancy shoot at Gemini Springs

This is Kim, and she has an awesome pregnant belly.

I was very happy to capture this friend-of-a-friend this

week, right before it got cold and grey. You might remember 

Tuesday evening...

It was a warm, lovely evening and perfect for a shoot.

The stars were aligned for Kim, because the next day it

turned into this! (look out your window, lol)

Kim is expecting a girl, and the great news is, I get

to meet her too, and photograph her ! So happy!

You all KNOW how much I adore girls. 

A big thank you to Esther for treating Kim to a 

special shoot to remember, and also to Kim

for coming out so I could meet you!

Baby Wesley on the way! {pregnancy photography}

McLane will have a sister soon, and I'm super excited 

to meet her ! If she's anywhere near as cute as big

sister ( and I'm quite sure that's a guarantee…) I will

have a lot of photo work in the future! Wesley Rose

is coming very soon, and when she does, you'll have

a lovely newborn post to view. For now, we'll focus

on her beautiful mother and family. I'm so happy we *finally* 

(thank you weather) got to do this shoot, and I

thank Nikki and Walter again for their time and patience

as we re-worked plans several times. 

See you guys soon! 

XOXO

Beautifully pregnant {Deland pregnancy photos}

What a nice referral I received from a great friend. Sabine is 

a few weeks away from delivering another baby girl, and she

is truly a beautiful mama-to-be. I enjoyed shooting her and family 

at their beautiful lake house. Her daughter Lexa was a hoot, 

and totally made me laugh. I am very much looking forward to

meeting her new baby girl. Thank you Sabine, for your hospitality 

and for inviting me to capture such a special time for you. 

Expecting Ezra

I had the privilege of meeting another fabulous

couple this weekend. Laura and Ezra are expecting

their first baby, a boy, at the end of this month.

(I'm hoping he'll come on my birthday) 

Laura did fantastic at the park, we had a great

time capturing this very special time for her.

I so look forward to meeting Ezra when he comes. 

I just know he's going to be a beauty!

A big thank you to both Laura and Ezra Sr. for

allowing me to photograph you during your pregnancy.

More to come!!
