I get so excited when I meet pregnant women! I know babies are born every day, but it still feels like such a miracle to me, the idea that two cells come together and eventually grow into a little baby inside you. It’s really amazing when you think about it! And I really look forward to when it will be that time for Jody and I and I can experience it all, too! So for those reasons, I just love talking to pregnant women and hearing all about what they’re feeling and what they’re going through and absolutely everything!!!
A little while ago I had a wonderful session with Melanie and Cam, and they are one of the cutest pregnant couples ever!! And they’re so sweet – Melanie had a beautiful spread of strawberries, bagels, toast, bananas and coffee all laid out when I got there, it was so yummy and is indicative of the wonderful and caring person she is. She’s a little nervous about the photos I know, she somehow thinks she isn’t photogenic and I don’t know how she got that idea – I think she’s so incredibly cute and looks so beautiful being pregnant, and she and Cam are so adorable together!!! We took these photos when Melanie was in her 26th week, and we’ll take more photos closer to the end of her pregnancy – I’m looking forward to seeing her belly then and knowing their little baby will come so soon!!
Melanie and Cam have two little babies already, their adorable little dogs Lucy and Rocco, and I loved that they loved me!! They have such strong little personalities and are so different, and they were so cute with how much they loved their little orange balls. Rocco is so much like a little baby, and he loves chewing on the bottom of Melanie’s jeans (especially when he’s nervous) – it’s like his little comforting blanky! 
And Lucy LOVES looking out the window and watching for dogs and people walking by, she’s the little watchdog!
During the session Melanie said something that I loved so much and I’ve thought of it so many times since – in describing being pregnant, she likened it to waking up every day and feeling like it’s her birthday because every day she feels such wonder and excitement at feeling her baby growing and moving inside her and knowing how much they have to look forward to. I LOVE that, love it love it love it!!!! It makes me so happy every time I think of it!
Thank you so much to Melanie and Cam, you two are so fun and wonderful and I loved hanging out with you, and thank you so much for choosing me to document this exciting time for you!! Here are lots of my favorite photos from the day, and check out the link to a slideshow at the end!!!
I love this little series!!!
I asked Melanie if she had any cravings – her biggest craving right now is grapefruit, so we had to take some fun photos with grapefruit!!
At the end, Cam drew on Melanie’s belly. He drew a face, and I couldn’t stop laughing as I was taking photos and seeing what the face was looking like. It’s so funny!!!
Little Rocco chewing on his mommy’s jeans, so cute!
Lucy looking out the window – she’s a little model!
Rocco wasn’t a huge fan of being in the crib – he looks like such a cute little baby here!
More cute Rocco photos!
And more cute Lucy photos!
