Maternity Photos

This evening Jesus and I embarked on a new adventure with Jessica, a gal from my office. I had convinced Jesus that I wanted to have maternity pictures done. He didn't really see the reason for them, but I finally persuaded him that it would be fun and would create some good memories of our first pregnancy. I was discussing this with Jessica one day at work and how it's kind of expensive, when we came up with a brilliant idea. She should do our pictures!! That's a fabulous idea!

So today, after work, the 3 of us went over to my parent's house (they have a much more interesting backyard than we do) to do the photo session. It was so much fun! She got so many cute pictures, I don't know how I'm ever going to decide which ones to print.

She also got some cute ones of the dog that my parents are watching for the week.


This is one of my very favorites. We're going to have this one printed and put it in a big frame over Lily's crib.


I really wanted to take this one because Jesus and I forgot to have our wedding photographer take a picture of our rings when we got married. So this will do just fine. Though Jesus' hands make me look rather pale. Guess that goes with the territory of marrying a Mexican!

Jessica and I thought found one like this online when we were searching for examples. We thought it would be really fun to do. I like how it turned out. I think it looks really good in black and white.
