My dear friend Jen, of Sugar Photography, graciously did a little maternity shoot before she moved from Tallahassee to Ft. Collins.
I kept wanting to cancel it, because in pregnancy I am doing my best to avoid all photos. I was thinking of excuses like:
"Tony can't be here", which she replied, "that's okay, we don't need him here."
or
"Oh, well um, I have a lot of appointments at work this week", which she shot down and said "Well pick a day I can come."
She saw right through my insecurities and said very wise words, like:
One day you will want to have these photos and you will be glad you have them.
You are only going to get bigger in this pregnancy.
Your next pregnancy you will look at these and say, look at how small I was.
So we hung out for our final time in Tallahassee, and she snapped away. She was right, I am so happy I did these. Now I just need little Reid to arrive...5 weeks to go!

Umm hi, you can't even tell you are prego in most of these missy! Honestly the only ones you can tell are the bottom few. How adorable you are and how sad I am that I can't see you with you belly. Can't wait to meet you new man!
