mothers. daughters. grand-daughters. beautiful women.

Wow. I photographed these beautiful women over 6 weeks ago, but life was crazy at the time, and I didn't get the chance to post my favorites until now. This is the Begay family from the good old EC! It was such a fun/lovely/hilarious early evening shoot, and I was so happy to get the change to see them again. It's quite plain to see where these girls get their stunning good looks (ahem, their b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. mother right there in the center...) and I didn't get a bad shot in the bunch. I love, love, loved their heirloom turquoise jewelry and crisp white shirts. Throw in a couple of darling grand-daughters and a delicious little grandson, and it makes for one of my favorite family photo shoots yet.

If you had any idea how much this girl went through to finally get this sweet baby on the way, you'd understand why these pictures leave me jumping for joy. She's going to be one beautiful mama. That lucky little guy gets to wake up to this face for the next 18 years... it's a wonder he didn't decide to come sooner... ;) Oh, and I just found out that I love pregnancy photo shoots so much I can't even take it. Please have every pregnant girl you know call me! This was too. much. fun.

Total Mack Attack

Babies don't get much cuter than this...nope...totally don't. And it was d*e*l*i*g*h*t*f*u*l to spend an afternoon catching up with his beautiful mom who is a dear friend from the good ol' jr high days!

With a beautiful new baby girl

(who has more hair than I do)

and two little boys with

hundred-year-old souls,

Ben and Laura Ellis are doing fairly awesomely

in the "fantastic child department."

(I hope they have at least 6 more...nudge, nudge.)

I love Laura's hair... she is truly beautiful in every way.
