My beautiful friend, Emily

I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph my friend, Emily.  We went to high school together, but I was a couple years older than her.  I've got a lot of fond memories of us running track together (and I'm typing this with a BIG smile on my face and the slideshow is playing in my head).  Heck, we even had dogs that were litter mates!  Her dog was named Cocoa and mine was named Hershey (yes, they were both chocolate labs :)

Anyway. I went off to college, and then eventually she went off to college, and we drifted apart.  But thanks to the beauty of Facebook, we were able to reconnect.  She saw that I'm a photographer, and the rest is history.  I had a blast photographing her...as you can see for yourself, she's gorgeous!  Plus, she was willing to try anything, which is heaven for a photographer (and we got to catch up on small-town gossip :)

I think pregnant woman are beautiful, hands down, no exceptions.  There's nothing more beautiful than growing a life, and I can't WAIT to meet the one she's created!  Thank you, Em!
