Maternity Portraits: Breanna (and Olivia!)

I have been looking forward to this shoot for months, since I first heard the news that Kipp and Breanna were expecting! :) I realized today that these two were the very first people I ever photographed for an engagement session. How appropriate that they were also the first couple to invite me to take their maternity photos!

I can’t wait to meet the newest member of their family, when little Olivia arrives in February (hopefully on my birthday! ha ha). But for now, it was so awesome to see her parents again and how adorable Breanna is as an expecting mother.

Kipp is joining the ranks of other bearded warriors for “No Shave November”… so although he wasn’t too excited to be in the photos sporting a beard that he never wears, I’m so glad he agreed for at least a few!

They are going to be such fun-loving parents. I love when a baby comes into a laughter-filled family!

A cute breakfast place — the window behind Breanna says “wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!” :)

Okay, if Breanna is not the most gorgeous mother-to-be, I don’t know who is. Seriously, this baby is going to have some good genes! :)

Sometimes I get crazy ideas for photo shoots. Most of the time, people let me run with them. :) Here, it involved six pink balloons, one beautiful lady, and a sweet alley!

Breanna, thank you for letting me “experiment” with your maternity photos. I can’t wait for you to see the whole album! And to you and that awesome husband of yours — congratulations. I am looking forward to the debut of little Olivia!
