Everything about this session was special. Mostly because this beautiful mother-to-be has been my best friend for more than 20 years. Wow, that seems so strange to see… 20+ years. How blessed am I to stay that I’ve had someone who has been by my side for so long. *Sigh* She’s amazing. We’ve been though so much together… Lots of trouble growing up (okay, more me than her), silly crushes, (our childhood crush ran off and got married without either of us last weekend!! Congrats Jared!), weddings, and now we will both be mommies. I am so happy for you. This little dribbler is a very (very) lucky baby… S/he is already so wanted, and oh so loved. John & Amanda, thank you both for allowing me to capture such an exciting time in your lives. It was an honor.  Amanda, I love you dearly and I cannot wait to hold this sweet baby in my arms!  See you in about a month!!!

P.S. I was going to post some old, embarrassing pictures… but all my parent’s stuff is still in storage… These are all I have on my computer :) Enjoy!!

I have known this mama-to-be for years! In fact, her dad taught me Algebra. Well, tried. I’m afraid I didn’t retain much (it’s still my most-hated subject) Kameron and her husband are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first blessing! I was in town for my little brother’s graduation so we were able to capture some images of this special time! Josh, thanks for giving up some golf time on such a beautiful day! I enjoyed spending time with you guys and looking foward to meeting this sweet baby! Take it easy this next month and I’ll see you before you know it!!

Hot Mama!

August 6, 2008
Literally! Carissa was a TROOPER today. The bank said 93 degrees but I’m sure the heat index was much, much higher! She walked all over the streets of downtown Amarillo this afternoon for an ‘Urban Maternity’ session. It was blazing hot, but we came out with some great images. I enjoyed spending time with her as well. So Carissa, hope you enjoy your sneak peek - and rest easy until that little angel gets here!

Carissa: Woo mamma was it hot! haha The pictures look great so far! The picture appointment with you went better than the dr's appointment! haha She needs to cook a little longer! I thought she would've been nice and cooked after today, but no go! The walking was great for me! Great job on the pictures...you are so talented. I enjoyed my afternoon with you!

{[*M.I.S.T.Y*]}: Graeat maternity shots! Her belly is so cute & I love her hair!

Mrs. G and I both had big visions of her sweet son finger painting on her beautiful baby belly, but Mr. C was having nothing of it! He was interested in markers for about 2 minutes but after that, it was more fun to blow bubbles or run around the yard. At least we can say we tried!

Lisa Walsh: I would've never thought of finger painting on the belly. Great idea!

Maddie Dean Photography: Thanks Lisa, but I can't take credit... the fun mama thought of it!

Denise M. Godfrey: Kids rarely do what we want them to do, do they? That's a fun idea! Especially for a boy to do.

I am very honored that the G family asked that I photograph their beautiful family today. Since I am leaving town for a few days I went ahead and began editing so you can have a sneak peak! I just want you guys to know that you are in our prayers.

Hai: Your photos are beautiful. But what you think if you show up their happiness in those pictures. Beside art, those pictures will be more alive if people can see the happiness in side the pictures. Those are just my own opportunities.

Missie: Sarah Elizabeth,
Your pictures are beautiful, absolutely beautiful! You are very very talented and God is using you to bless others.
Love you friend, Mis

All is going well with Lil Lady Collins. This pregnancy is progressing normally and we’re are definitely having a girl! Mike and I couldn’t be more thrilled. One of each - how perfect :) Now, if the nursery prep could just progress as quickly as the pregnancy has we’d be doin’ good! I bought some fabric to use a new backdrop so I had Mike help me try it out yesterday. I better be careful - he may take over my photography!

Without further ado… here are *my* 25w1d bellyshots….

I had the honor of photographing Mrs. L today. She was stunning at 9 months pregnant and had the beautiful Glow. I enjoyed our time together and I can’t wait to meet the little man in just a few days! I hope you enjoy your pictures!
