Maternity Photos with the Tapias:)

This girl, we go waaayyyyy back! I met this chick back in middle school, which now has been 20 years ago... holy sh*t! We have been friends FOREVER! It's a real treat to grow up in a town like we did and make the friends we will carry through our lives in middle school. Middle school? Really? Who gets to say that? Not very many people, but we do. Im lucky to call her my friend, I'm lucky to know her children (well, soon to be the plural), and I'm lucky to be a part of her life. Yes, I'M LUCKY.

Our appointment ended up landing on one of the rarest days in the desert, a relentlessly windy, cloudy, and rainy day... of course this would be the weather on the day we decided to take some photos of her growing belly and family. As I drove into town to meet her at our venue the skies were darker and gloomier than before I began my drive and we nearly cancelled, but we didn't... and as I neared the shoot location the skies had began to part, the wind slowed, and we were granted an hour of flipping gloriousness. WE WERE LUCKY! We created something amazing, really, amazeballs. 

This kid doesn't know just yet how blessed he is to have this family to call his own, they are all special, very very special people. I'm glad to know all you Tapias, and I cant wait to meet baby Luka!

 Oh goodness, Ray... you kill me:)

OMG! Loook at this little stud muffin!!

 YESSSS!!! THIS!

K&K. Maternity Sesh.

Oh my goodness. This day was something. These two people are mi familia, the gent being my baby brother, the lady being the best sister in law I could ask for, the bun, a little firecracker named Jackson that we are all impatiently waiting to meet. I wept a teeny bit while editing these, my baby brother isn't a baby any more, hes having a baby (well, she is but you know what Im saying) and they are so happy. This little boy is being brought into the world by two very loving parents, two happy, in love, stable, patient, kind, strong, caring, thoughtful, wonderful people. That's really something and Jackson is blessed already. In a few weeks ill be documenting his arrival, and, I cant wait. I. CANT. WAIT. Really, Jackson, you should know we are all waiting on you kid, so hurry up bud! This will be my first birth, and hopefully not my last, Im elated, scared, nervous, excited, and worried. Its going to be amazing, hes going to be amazing. Oh my god, I cant wait.

No flash, just the right moment with the perfect light highlighting the belly and sign.

Amazeballs.

I love bellies and bellies. So sweet.

Really? Dang, this is too cute. 

She is so flipping stunning, just look for yourself. STUNNING.

We could have spent hours here.

This bridge, so dang good.

OMG, I love this.

Yea, this happened too.

Baby Bump Sesh with A&K

Ive known Kyle since he was a baby, he is like a little brother to me, and ironically enough my blood brother is named Kyle also so I have two Kyle littles:) Though, both Kyles are not so little any more considering they are both having their first baby within 45 days of each other!! Im a blessed auntie:) We shot these photos just a mere week before Angelica went into labor and we are so lucky the timing worked out in our favor. The day was great, the moments were sweet, and these two are so ecstatic to welcome their baby girl Mia into their lives.  

My prediction of Mia, she will be gorgeous and sassy like her mama, but strong and unwavering like her daddy. The best of both worlds.

Congrats to both families the Villas and Schuergers! An even bigger congrats to Kyle and Angelica, we love you guys!!

Look in his glasses, you can see her laying on the grass:) AW!!

Daddys words to any boyfriend Mia might have will be few... hes more of an action speaks louder than words kind of guy as the photo below might just show you... LOL! 

LOVE this... it makes me so happy:)
