Documentation of Life Project #2: Sweetness at 27 and 28 Weeks

Instead of staying behind, I decided to get caught up....I took my 27 week picture last week, but never got it posted, and got back on schedule today and got my 28 week picture taken.  So, you have a double treat today to get them both! =)

I fear my belly might be getting to big for me to be able to take the picture myself...I think it is bigger in person than it appears in the pictures.  But, maybe that is just how I feel.  =)

I am also trying really hard not to duplicate outfits...let's see if I can make it 12 more weeks!

Documentation of Life Project #2: Sweetness at 26 weeks

I have gotten a little behind in getting this one posted.  I will be 27 weeks tomorrow...oops!

We are excited that we will be coordinating our next Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University Class this fall.  The preview night is next Wednesday, Aug 21 at 7pm at St. Louis de Montfort in Fishers, IN if anyone is interested in coming to learn more.  It is a great class--perfect for newly married couples, engaged couples, couples who have been married for years, single people, college aged, young and old alike!  Did I get everyone?!  =)

Documentation of Life Project #2: Sweetness at 23 weeks

A wedding day is full of fun, energy, lots of walking and excitement!  A long day and so much fun!  Yet being pregnant adds a few extra challenges...I was pretty tired by the end of the day, but baby and I made it through with flying colors.  I have 4 more weddings for the season before little Sweetness arrives.

Documentation of Life Project #2: Sweetness at 22 Weeks

Last week I got the shot right within 4 shots.  This week I had some issues....out of focus, off center, just my feet....clearly I didn't have my V8 yesterday before I took these pictures.  I guess that is one of the hazards doing these pictures myself...it might take me a while.  I have a feeling it might get a little more difficult the bigger my belly gets....

Documentation of Life Project #2: Baby Sweetness at 21 weeks

Moving right along in this pregnancy. We do not know the sex of the baby, and this drives a few of our friends crazy. Trust me, I want to know, too, but it is also worth it to me to wait for the surprise at the end!! Just because we can know does not mean we need to know. Some secrets are best left kept in this world of so much instant gratification.

Documentation of Life Project #2: Baby Sweetness

Last year I documented the pregnancy of Carrie as she and her husband Andrew prepared for Baby Stella to arrive. See that whole series here

Ever since then I knew I wanted to something to document my next pregnancy.  So here I am at 20 weeks and excited to self-document my growing belly.  I could have gotten elaborate and involved my husband as the photographer, but let's be honest, raising to energetic boys, running a business and keeping a household that just wasn't going to happen.

So in keeping with the theme of my business, I am keeping it simple.  I hope you enjoy the journey with me!

Documentation of Life Project: Weeks 20-40

Here it is all in one place so you don't have to go looking. (click on a picture if you want to enlarge it to read the letter).

Following Carrie and Andrew as they journeyed through the pregnancy of their sweet Baby Stella was a delight and joy!  If anyone wants to document their pregnancy let me know and I will be there with camera ready!

We put together a book in the end that will be a treasure for everyone for years to come!

Documentation of Life Project: Week 40

Finally!!! For all of you who have been waiting on the edge of your seat for the final installment of this project...I am sorry it has taken me so long. I was home visiting my family for 10 days, and have been caught up in editing all the jobs from that trip and getting back to normal day life since I got back. With out further adieu....here is Week 40!


As I mentioned before Carrie and Andrew did not know the sex of their baby during the pregnancy..and we are happy to share that Carrie gave birth to Stella Maris on Friday Aug 3, at 40 weeks and 4 days! Not too bad for their first! I have met sweet Stella and she is just that....SWEET!!! I will do one final installment of this project that will include the star herself...on the outside! Stay Tuned!

Documentation of Life Project: Week 39

I can't believe this project is coming to an end. Tomorrow I shoot week 40!  (a few days early before I head out of town) I have been loving this project and hope another expecting couple asks me to do another one.  I think this might be one of my favorite ones of the belly, as you can see the whole shape of her belly!

Documentation of Life Project: Week 37

Always good to play Peek-a-boo with your babies---inside or outside of the womb!!

Documentation of Life Project: Week 36

I love the images of Carrie when she is alone, but there is a whole new level of love when you had her beloved, Andrew!  They had 5 images to choose from this week and that is the best I could do to narrow them down! They are just so darn cute and precious and tender together, I love it! I particuarly love how is leading her in the far image.  So sweet!

Another fun thing about the shoot this week is that they came over for dinner afterwards for blueberry pancakes and waffles and we all consumed 2 pounds of bacon! YUM!!

Documentation of Life Project: 35 Weeks

We had a lot of fun with this weeks shoot and it was not just because we go to eat the funnel cake that Carrie is eating when we were done. (which i think was the BEST funnel cake I have ever had!)

At the end of June in Fishers, we have Fishers Freedom Festival.  It is a great festival, lots of kids activities, good food and at a great location of Holland Park.  Which happens to be the same place that we have been taking Carrie's pictures each week.  So it is only appropriate that we took her pictures that week in the MIDST of the Freedom Fest.  It was really fun!  We wanted to capture the people, the action, and of course the food!

On a side note--these people in Fishers are SERIOUS about their parade watching!  At 11am all these chairs, blankets etc were set up for a parade that was not starting until like 4pm!  It was cracking me up!

Nothing better than a tall glass of ice water to keep a pregnant mama cool!  Except for maybe two tall glasses!  CHEERS!
