young love

so, i'm not really into baby talk.  you know, when people make their voices all high and start using non-words and strange sounds to communicate to young children?  but every once in awhile, i catch myself.  like today, when i couldn't help from saying, "awww.  you guys are so cute" (in a super patronizing strangely high pitched voice).  but it was completely genuine because as you can see...

...there guys are SOOOO cute.  and young.  i had to shake my head a couple times and remind myself that cliff and i were engaged when i was 19 too.  so insane.  and so long ago.

thanks for traipsing around in a stranger's field with me and special thanks to the stranger for "letting" us traipse said field.  can't wait for the wedding!

tough.

these two are hardcore.  it just may have been the coldest day we've had yet (and i know cold is relative depending on where you live, but it was COLD, people).  i scouted a site and called them half an hour before the session.  i think if i had given them the opportunity to back out, they would have.  but i didn't, so they were in.  and i'm so glad they didn't leave me hanging.  because if they didn't, we never would have gotten these:

cold meant lots of snuggling.  i love getting pictures of expectant couples because the love is flowing.  it seems like love gets kicked up a notch when there's a baby on the way that you know you had a part in making.  so sometimes it's fun to not focus on the belly for a second and just zoom in on the love.

friday is going to be an amazing giveaway featuring the talents of my friend, adrienne, from adrienne-marie designs.  she takes vintage furniture pieces (some that you would see in the thrift store and not even blink an eye at) and makes them incredible.  come back friday to win!

miss alexa's mom contacted me about doing 6 month pictures for her.  apparently we picked a good day because after a 3 hour nap, she was a happy little camper!
