Last weekend I had the pleasure of shooting my sister-in-law's maternity pictures. It's so crazy to think that in 9 short weeks, she's going to be having a baby! I'm sure she feels the same way when she thinks about the fact that I already have a baby! Leigh Ann and I have been through a lot together. We were roommates in college, worked at the same bookstore, met 2 brothers who worked there..and then married them. So we were sisters long before we were ever sisters-in-law. We've seen each other go from immature college freshman girls, to married women, to mothers. So the thought of her having a baby is so crazy, yet so exciting!
Brent and Leigh Ann live in Houston so we wanted to find some cool locations around town. That wasn't so easy! There are great places all over town..but the town is so big and there's so much traffic, that it was hard to find everything before dark! We ended up at the waterwall at Williams Tower, Rice University campus and Herman Park. Rice had these gorgeous ivy covered walls that I loved. They were a great setting for something like maternity pics..and would make a great backdrop for bridal portraits as well. Herman park was great! I want to go back there and just hang out. It was so peaceful..even with tons of people milling around. Oh! And at the waterwall we saw...this.
These kids were going to the prom and they were decked out in their white tuxes and very umm..trashy dresses. I wasn't able to get very good pics of them because I was trying not to be obvious that I was photographing them. It was quite hilarious. They had a stretch Escalade ( I think) parked on the street that they were piling out of.
Ok, on to the good stuff! Here are a lot of my favorites from our maternity shoot. Thank you Brent, Leigh Ann, and baby Cole for letting me capture this amazing time in your life! We are so excited to meet our little nephew in a few weeks! We love you guys!
