Maternity Pictures

Rich & I were so blessed by my youngest sister, Lauren, when she offered to take some maternity pictures for us. We had originally planned to have professional pictures taken with a photographer, however, we had to *unexpectedly* replace all 4 tires on our SUV recently. Both tires & pictures would not fit in the budget. Unfortunately, tires won. Boo.

Lauren knew how bummed I was, so she did her research via Pinterest for cute maternity poses. The weather was perfect and we chose to go explore St. James Farm in Warrenville. I had never been there, but the photographer we were going to use had posted a lot of gorgeous photos shot at that location. Lauren had tons of props for us & was ready to go! I was super awkward at first (go figure), but Lauren was a trooper. She also had 2 of her sweet friends along with her- thanks girls for all your help! Here are some of my favorites...

And now some outtakes...just for fun...
