Meant to be...

It's true. My husband and I were just talking about this today. In all of our circle of friends...someone knows another in the other because of another. Wow. I think I just confused myself. Ha. And our lives, like little pieces, come together like a puzzle and make this beautiful thing called life. 

Anyway- moving on. I made an orthodontic appointment for a consultation and ended up going through with things that day and so I got to meet some of the staff for impressions and xrays, etc. Super fun staff, I might add!! Here comes Chris bee bopping in....couldn't even tell she was pregnant, but due....like yesterday. One thing lead to another and I got the privilege of booking her bump session AND hello world session.  

Here are some from her rock the bump...and she did just that!! This was approximately 2 weeks!!! before she had her little one!!!

Meet Charlotte....you can call her Charley for short! I LOVE LOVE her "for short" name!! I took my "assistant" with me to her hello world session. When we walked through the door, Chris and Arielle made eye contact and threw arms up for hugs! Chris was "her favorite" at the orthodontic office! So glad I could reunite those two! It made the session that much more fun!!! Charley was all of 6 pounds and 9 ounces...19.5 inches long. And lots of hair!! 

Bring on the BIG bows!!!

Congrats Danny & Chris!!!

So, it's been FOREVER. I have been SO very busy with...LIFE! Mike & I have attended two weddings this month (out of town) and between those and in addition to this unplugged session, I have had a hello world session, a rock the bump session and Carson has had 2 ear infections!! YAY for L-I-F-E! :D


Meet Ciara. Our husbands went to high school together, worked at the same pizza place and now are both police officers. So cute, huh? We got engaged the same year and married within a month of each other. We were all just meant to be. haha. I crack myself up. It must be late!!


The storm clouds watched this entire session and even spit on us a few times!! We BOTH ended up in the lake and both rode home in a towel....in the back of her husband's parent's vehicle....yes, they were up front! Such a good time, so many good laughs!! Here are some highlights!!!
