mateo, joronda & soul

i photographed this beautiful family when soul was only 5 months old. my has he changed. i mean, he's adorable. in personality, his sweet little face & that fabulous hair!!!

there's a new addition due any day now. mama's been having contractions for about two weeks so her body is gearing up!

luckily the babe held on till i got back from all my travels so we could do a belly session. you'll meet this babe soon enough because they're doing a "soon after the birth" session as well!

there's something about this photograph. i love the parents hands on the belly- i still cherish my pictures of this time.
joronda looks incredible. she's only gained weight in the round thing protruding from her stomach- she's a stick everywhere else!
mateo is such a great dad.
this is my absolute favorite image from the shoot. i love that sweet face & that tender hug.

thought this was kinda cool.
& nothing like some ticklin to cure the urge to round around :)
lovin on mama.

radiant.
cheesey goofball!

i simply could not decide which of the next few photographs i liked best... so you get them all.
LOVE this one.
ga. is all i can say about this kid. gaaaaaaaaaaaa.
seriously, how can so much cuteness be bundled into one little kid?
tehee.
& then they wanted a lil urban feel so we did some light rail love.

joronda i can't wait to hear your birth story. i'm so excited that you've chosen a midwife & hope everything goes smoothly & quickly!

thanks for letting me hang out with your sweet family.
