Vanderveen Family

These 3 braved the rainy cold Thanksgiving day to grab some quick family photos!  I am so glad that we decided to go out regardless of the weather.  Jenna is a dear friend of mine and Scott is my cousin, so I see a lot of this little family!  Their daughter Jordyn was a trooper!  She smiled the best when I had one of her parents behind me!  

I was worried it was a bit too dark out, but wow did the colors pop!  And let's be honest here, it wasn't really a challenge to take pictures of this good looking family!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Jill Maternity

Another beautiful girlfriend of mine expecting at the same time as me!!  This has already been a year full of babies!  So many of my friends and I have had kids this year and its so exciting to see some of them become first time Mom's!  Jill was always great for visiting when Riley was a baby and with Chase too!  She's been so good with kids for as long as I can remember!!  Jill had her sweet baby girl, Elle Victoria, just 6 days after I had Payton!  (We won't comment on who was due first…)  It makes me smile to think about when we met back at the end of her High School years.  Back than if you would've told us we would have daughters just days apart we probably would've laughed at you.  So now us April Birthday girls, have our own April babies!  Once again these pics are almost 6 months overdue!  We will have to get together soon and look at all the pics!  (I couldn't help adding the one of Finn, he so desperately wanted to be a part of everything!)

Nikki Maternity {Baby #2}

Wow have I been falling behind BIG TIME!  I haven't had many sessions but these next ones are like 6 months old.  I guess that's what happens when babies take over!  These few are of my beautiful friend Nikki, inside and out.  She had a baby girl, Bekka Hope in April.  We stole some shots of this glowing Mom to be a few days before (or maybe THE day before) she had her.  Mr. Jax was quite sweet and clung to Mommy most of the time, that is until we let him loose outside and he slid into a puddle.  Isn't that just what boys do?!  It was an honour as always to photograph her and her family!  It was extra exciting for me and Nikki this time, because we were going to have babies the same age!!  And what do you know we have 2 little girls that I'm sure will be great friends!  So here are your long overdue maternity pics Nik!  Let's get our girls together soon!!
