When our long-time friends announced that they were expecting, our whole family was filled with excitement! I received a text message photo of an ultra sound and nearly fell out of the chair I was in. I could barely get the words out to share the news with my husband- who was looking at me wondering if I just got good news or bad news. Good news, it was definitely GOOD NEWS!
Jeff and Tiffany met at Fresno State- Another win for the Bulldogs!
Every time I’m pregnant, I think about taking portraits. This time around, I got serious. This will likely be our last- no more chances to say ‘next time’! I’m used to taking the photos- I thought this might be tricky… so I called my sister for help.
I positioned and set the lights. My sister directed me on body placement and angled the camera. A very special ‘Thanks!’ to her for making this a reality rather than a missed opportunity!
When taking maternity portraits, I usually tell moms the ideal time frame is between 30-35 weeks. That’s when the belly is big enough to be dramatic, but usually before too much swelling or discomfort is happening. In my case, we took these when I was 29.5 weeks. Clearly my belly was not hiding!
Our FIFTH baby is on his way, and we are just as excited as the first time. I can’t wait to meet him and enjoy holding him on the OUTSIDE!
Could you imagine getting six kids all dressed and ready for a family photo session, while maintaining happy attitudes and a positive outlook on the experience? The Mays family did just that- and were such a fun group to photograph! 
Usually there’s a grumpy one in a family photo session, but not these guys! Each child enjoyed their ‘star’ moment…
Little Shiloh was not only cooperative, but accommodating too.
Isaiah was glad to share his playful personality.
Most 8 year old boys are reluctant to have a picture taken, but Darrell was willing and helpful.
Takai has a beautiful smile, and was pleased to share it.
Sweet Jasiah. Cute, fun, photogenic.
Anjal was all smiles, whether the camera was on her or not.
What a great group of kids! They were such a joy to work with.
Here they are, the people responsible for this amazing bunch. Thanks for a great session, Darrell and Tamara. I look forward to more!
