Mama's Gonna Snap!

My buddy Jenn, new mama and photographer extraordinaire, is doing me a major solid and is going to take some maternity photos for me!  Even though I feel about about big as a hippo and equally as attractive, I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to document what is likely to be my last pregnancy.  In addition, I'm hoping to get the boys involved in this little shoot so I can have some sweet photos of the big brothers getting ready to welcome their third musketeer. 

I did get some maternity photos done when I was pregnant with Isaiah, but I'm hoping to go in a bit of a different direction this time around.  We're shooting the pictures at the Arboretum in Madison, which is a fabulous, natural location with lots of gorgeous grass, flowers, pillars and stone, and even old buildings to use as backdrops.  I'm kind of hoping we land a few shots like this:

But this one makes me wish I was wearing an orange tank top and flowy white skirt:

I love the crop on this because it wouldn't show my chins:

I love how this one includes the older sibling:

So, in general....this kind of gives you an idea of the feel I'm going for.  Casual, natural, fun.  Can't wait to share the photos with you!
