Rachel is a talented photographer in her own right...so when she contacted me to photograph her maternity session...I was honored. She and her hubby Jake are expecting twins!! Just having had a baby myself, I am so excited for them...but I can't fathom taking care of two little ones at the same time! They will definitely have their hands full...but two babies is twice the love.
We started this session out at Rachel's brand new studio space. It is beautiful. After that, they were willing to brave it out in the snow for me... and it was so worth it.

One thing is for sure...these babies are going to be uber-photogenic. Look at these two...
Jake and Rachel...your babies are so blessed to be entering such a wonderful family. You are going to be amazing parents!

We have been friends for a decade...but she didn't like me at first. She says this without hesitation. We were both extroverted. Both loud. Both liked to be the funny one. Both liked to be the center of attention. There wasn't room for both of us to be in the same room. But I liked her. She was like the cool, older sister I never had. And, as tends to happen, I grew on her. Ten years later...I'm probably still growing on her. She has been there at every crucial step in my life in those past ten years...and I'd like to think that I've been there for her...
She is one of my closest, dearest friends. She is sincere, caring, funny, real and willing to tell it like it is. She will tell you if those jeans make you look fat (in a semi-nice way, of course). She is that friend that you can call in the middle of the night and know that she will answer if you need her to. We have had fights like sisters. We have cried on each other's shoulders... and laughed 'til we peed our pants (sorry internet...but it happens). We have secrets...yet we are both an open book...(obviously...did you not see what I just wrote!?)....
I love her. And I'm going to love her little baby too. And her hubby....well...let's just say...he is perfect. Not only for her, but, I am serious, he is pretty much perfect.
I love it when I can make her laugh...
Pregnancy is beautiful on you...
You guys are going to have one lucky baby...and I know she is going to be a knockout!

Cassie and Stella. One is my best friend and one is my french bull dog. One is Nice and one is Naughty. Cassie sits in a chair and poses when you tell her to. Stella jumps on a chair when you tell her not to. Stella has been giving me problems and Cassie always solves my problems.
Cassie and Curtis (Cassie's adorable husband) approached us nearly a year ago to do their pictures for a Christmas card. At that point we had never met and did not know each other. However, during the photoshoot it quickly became apparent that Cassie and I had a lot in common...including our love of food, great restaurants, travel and the need to crack a dumb joke about every 3 minutes or so.
After the photoshoot, we began hanging out...and then we went on a trip...and now...I may comfortably say...she is my best girlfriend. I never thought I would have a best girlfriend. I have always had great girlfriends...but never a BEST (yes I have lots of Besties...and Besties...you are all still my Besties!!). BUT...Cassie is my best of the best. My ultimate girlfriend.
Cassie and Curtis are expecting their first. We call him Carlos. Mostly because it is from the movie "The Hangover" but also because I can conveniently call them C3.
I can't wait for my baby (sudo nephew/first born) to arrive. However, until then...here are my very favorite sneak peaks from their maternity session.
Cassie, I love you.
