Prego Photo Shoot (38 weeks)

We had the biggest blessing. Our next door neighbor is a professional photographer and she called me up one day and asked if we would like her to do some maternity pictures for us...for free! Of course!! I was 38 + weeks in these pictures. We wanted to do them sooner before I was so big, but the weather didn't really let us. Susan (the photographer) was incredible. I definitely was extremely exhausted, I think that is why I was squinting in the majority of these pictures. I LOVE these pictures though, because some how she captured a "natural" Ryan. I think these are the best pictures ever of him. He kept saying through out the shoot, "Wow, this is just making me more and more excited for Claire to get here!" I love that man :)



I think it was so neat how she was able to paste the ultra sound picture there! So cool!



I do NOT like how I look in this picture, but the first time I saw this pic, I started crying because that look on Ryan's face is his special look for me. I can't believe she captured it! He is just so excited to have this baby and you can tell that.
Ry insisted on kissing my belly...I felt awkward, but he got his way.








Susan put some extra special time into the above picture! I just love it! It gives me the chills. I canNOT wait til she is here!!!!! I love her so much already :)












Ha, this picture makes me laugh because Ryan insisted on picking me up for a picture. I almost refused because I didn't want to hurt him. I think he just wanted to prove how strong he is ;)
