maternity leave.

I've been MIA for a couple months now, but that's not due to lack of work--it's due to lack of energy.  I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog, and that may or may not happen in the next couple months.  For now, I guess it's time to let my clients know 1. I'm pregnant, and 2. I'm due tomorrow.

So, I'll be taking a maternity leave until July 10th, at which time I'll be back into the swing of things, and {I'm sure} itching to shoot again.  For now, here's one of my favorites from my own maternity shoot a couple months ago. The shawl is my grandmother's--it even still smells like her, even though she passed away 10 years ago.  

We can't wait to welcome another little boy into our family.  It's only a matter of hours until we go from three to four.  :)

r + b + w = family

it's pretty unbelievable how this...

...can become this:

mommy-to-be.

I had the most amazing hour with these two (almost three).  aren't they the most photogenic people you've ever seen?  she is amazingly beautiful pregnant.  and to top it all off, we got to shoot in the most gorgeous location ever.  I will miss all of the amazing locations pittsburgh has to offer when we ship out in 6 weeks.  but until then, I'll be taking full advantage!
