Worth the wait …

Pregnancy is a long process…I really admire those women who feel beautiful during their pregnancies.  I do not, lol.  So HUGE props go out to those wonderful women who know that now is a time to remember that feeling of having a little one growing inside of you and want to capture the moment.  I can’t wait to meet Mr. C and to take some more family pictures!

7.7.11 Birth Story

I had one of the most awesome experiences yesterday that a human being can have!  I was able to photograph a birth story of the most beautiful little lady in the whole wide world.  The opportunity to be there for the most incredible event was surreal!  The baby is beautiful, the mother is unbelievable, the father proud, and the new big brother over the moon….what a great way to spend my day :) CONGRATULATIONS you are ALL amazing!

Everything’s better when shared with a friend ….

One of my BEST friends is about two and a half weeks ahead of me in her first pregnancy (although be it only two weeks, I am STILL jealous!)  We got her cute family together to get some Saturday morning pictures (right after cartoons of course).  Aren’t they such a fun family?  I love the picture where Dad is squeezing his girls, just look at the happiness in his eyes…LOVE IT!  AND~ big day here on the Anniemations Blog … I REQUESTED to be in a picture! (If you know me, you know I DO NOT like having my picture taken) But how could I pass up an opportunity to get a picture of our twin bellies??? (I gotta get me some of that tallness!) Enjoy your sneak peek, I sure love seeing ya, no matter WHAT excuse we use :)

On a more business note … I will be heading out on vacation *YAY* on Monday so I will be out of touch for the next week … if you need anything email me or leave me a message but know, I won’t be returning most of them until next week :)   THANKS!

Double the Fun!

These darling little kids were sooooo——- much fun to shoot!  Look how cute, there were so many fun ones it has taken me forever to pick some to post.  So I settled on 5, yes I know, more than my average, but I just couldn’t decide and had to narrow it down.  Here’s your sneak peek mom and . . . as you can tell from the last picture . . . their duet is about to become a trio!  Enjoy (I know I am).

**Photography TIP Minute** I have had a couple of people ask about the processing on image #2 here.  So I will share.  I did my regular, sharpening, color burst, eye doctor (MCP), and Pro-Retouch (Totally Rad) on the skin.  THEN I did the Totally Rad “Pool Party” Action at like 60% opacity.  (If none of this makes any sense to you . . . but you’d like it to . . . join us for a photoshop class).
