Quinn Maternity

This is my friend Jessica and her sweet family. I know Jessica through her sister, Yessenia who is one of my best friends. We grew up around the block from each other in Austin, TX. Jessica was a few years younger than Yessenia and me, so we didn’t play together too often (seriously, little sisters are supposed to be annoying, right? LOL! I don’t ever remember Jessica being THAT little sister, but still…haha!) Back then, I was pretty much a fixture at their house. Their mother nicknamed me “Kimmie” like DJ Tanner’s best friend from Full House…I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. LOL! Nooo, I know she meant it endearingly…right? Anyways, that was from about 3rd grade to freshman year of high school for me and then, they moved far, far away to Dallas, TX. Luckily, we stayed in touch and years later, as fate would have it, I moved just about 10 minutes away. Of course, living so close and having known each other pretty much our whole lives, we started to get to know each other again. That has been such a joy to me! I love seeing Jessica as an equal and not just my friend’s little sister. Plus, Jessica and I have a lot of the same interests. For one, Jessica and I both have degrees in Psychology. Also, as many of you know, I worked in OBGYN for 6 years and have since become a “birth junkie” and a birth photographer. Well, Jessica has since become an L&D nurse, so obviously that makes for fun conversations for us. I just love that I can talk birth with her and it doesn’t freak her out. Yay, birth! Haha!

Aaannnddd, that brings me to this! Jessica is expecting her second baby! Jessica and her husband, John already have one of the cutest and sweetest little boys ever, Liam. Gawww! Look how cute he is!! They certainly could not out-do him with another boy, so this time around they are having a beloved baby girl!

Meet Jessica, John, Liam and soon-to-be Harper Grace:

The Allen-Stern Family

These are my neighbors, some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I met them in August of 2012 when we moved into our new house. I was 9 months pregnant at the time and about the size of a house! From the very start, they were friendly and welcoming to us. They are definitely the kind of neighbors you want to have. Since then, they have seen me begin this great adventure into photography and they gave me the greatest compliment ever by hiring me to photograph three generations of their family. It was such an honor! And, to make it even better, they were so much fun!

The Three Bears: Shirey Maternity Part II

Alas, I have Shirey’s second maternity shoot is ready! I like the images from this shoot so much that I had a hard time picking my favorites. They are all so good! Now, all that is left is the anticipation of Baby Bear’s arrival in February/March 2014. 🙂

Miss the images from the first shoot? Here’s a link to Part I: https://pushphotographyblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/the-three-bears-shirey-maternity-part-i/

The Three Bears: Shirey Maternity Part I

You’ve met these two before. This is Mama Bear and Papa Bear, and just in case you didn’t know, they have a Baby Bear hibernating inside that belly! Eeeekkk! So exciting! This is soon-to-be Baby Bear Brennyn. Below are images from Part I of their maternity photo shoot. Baby Bear is oh-so-loved that we just couldn’t fit everything we wanted to document into one day. Part I was shot indoors two weeks ago and today, we shot Part II outdoors at a beautiful park. I love these images so much and there are still more amazing images to come! I can hardly wait to show y’all! In the meantime, these will have to hold you over until I finish applying my magic to the others. Enjoy!

p.s. Isn’t Elise gorgeous? I had the best time editing these. She is just so stunning!

UPDATE: Part II is ready! https://pushphotographyblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/31/the-three-bears-shirey-maternity-part-ii/

Roberts Maternity

Meet Stephen, Nadia and the soon-to-be Penelope Marlowe. I met Nadia through a mutual friend and I was thrilled when she allowed me the opportunity to do a maternity photo shoot for her. Nadia was so sweet and Stephen was so funny! It was quite easy to see what a great couple they make. They are just 2 very cool people…and they are multiplying! Let just hope the world can handle what Sweet Penelope will have to offer! 😉

P.S. Nadia has the most photogenic baby belly in the history of ever! Just look at her!
