Becoming a Mom!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Miss R. She is 35 weeks pregnant with her first child. It is such a special time when you have your first child growing in you. So many thoughts and wonders are in your head. She called me to photograph her, while pregnant with her child.

I had a fantastic time photographing this couple. They are very sweet and I cannot wait to meet little baby "J" when she comes into this world.

Here is my favorite shot from this shoot, however it was hard to choose because there was several that I just love.

I felt that there was just so much love in this shot. Just a happy day in all too. Congrats to you both!!!

This is my entry in the www.rocktheshotforum.com for April's photo challenge Motherhood. What speaks more about motherhood than someone embarking on it for the first time! See more of my photos from this shoot on my Facebook page!

Playing with flowers

I have been quiet of late because we have been very busy. Out shooting, and learning new skills. I just got back from Las Vegas, NV, and we will have more pictures to show from there soon. I took over 2,000 pictures in a week, so there is a lot to go through and decide what I like, dislike ect.

But tonight's picture is a throwback from almost a year ago. For my birthday last year we went to San Francisco and went to the Golden Gate Park. If you have never been there, and are in the area, I highly suggest you go. If you love flowers, its a must go to place. 

I was in the Conservatory of Flowers while I was there and was taking all kinds of pictures of flowers that is not normally seen in my small area of California. I took this picture of one of the many orchids they have there.

The name of this kind of orchid is Paph. Robinianum, AKA Golden Gate Orchid. Very fitting name sense I was at the Golden Gate park. I am submitting this into the March Photo Challenge at www.rocktheshotforum.com .

Let me know what you think of this image and stay tuned for Las Vegas!
