For being such a short month, February always feels sooooo long, as I am over winter. OVER IT. I actually embrace winter back in December, with the snow adding to the holiday spirit. January, I’m still hanging in there, as we all know January is going to be cold and nasty. However, by February, I cannot find much endearing about winter. Although this image is from last weekend, I woke up to similar snowflakes this morning. It’s not sticking, but still.
I am guessing that many of my readers will recognize this couple. If not, you need to get to Crossroads Community Church in Morrison! I had the honor of taking their maternity portraits this week. I have to say they are so much fun that I spent about as much time laughing as I did taking photographs (admittedly I had to a scrap a couple of shots because I was laughing too much to hold the camera still). The baby that will join this couple in the next few weeks is one of the luckiest babies alive. I can’t wait to meet him!
Since they were looking for relaxed images in their gorgeous historic home, we played a lot with natural light:
from a lot of angles…
They are such a happy couple, and so blessed, and they deserve every bit of it.

Here’s the WHOLE family:
Then, we headed up to the nursery and took some shots there, where I captured my favorite image:
along with a few other fun shots:
There is something I really like about this one. I usually prefer maternity images in black and white, but this one I was feeling the color version more:
Stay tuned…you will be seeing more of these two + one in March!
I am running a LOVE special in honor of my beloved clients and my three years of business! For the next three days (through midnight February 17), save 50% off all desk prints (8×10 and smaller). This applies to a la carte prints only and not packages or wall displays. If your gallery is already loaded, use the coupon code VDAY3 to receive the 50% off. If you need a gallery from the past year reposted, e-mail me by February 16 so I can repost it in time for you to place an order on the 17th. Because you will be using a coupon code, all orders using this special must be placed separately from orders including wall displays, packages, and/or large prints.
And, because no photography blog post should be without an image, here is a shot I took of one of the cupcakes my son took to preschool on Friday.
(cupcake made by Amie Behrens of Edibly Divine).
