Why I Chose Not To Do A Maternity Photoshoot

Some mothers love the way they look pregnant.  They just love looking down and seeing their growing belly.  They’re glowing and feel amazing the whole time (well maybe not the whole time, stupid morning sickness!).  They want to show their family and friends their growing baby and even stand in front of a wall with […]

Three Dogs and a Baby Bump

The other day I was watching one of my favorite movies – 3 Men and a Little Lady.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the first one just as much.  It so sweet – the story of these suave-like men struggling with simple tasks like changing a diaper, feeding and hiding drugs in the baby’s diaper; and […]
