shelly+brian+baby girl

 

 Yes yes yes… THAT'S the AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL SHELLY VALENTINE!!!! YES YES YES!!!!!


 

 AYFKM?! Oh yes… you just saw me throw an F in that. Don't be mad… I couldn't resist! This is my new favorite maternity shot I've taken EVERRRR! I'm BLOWN away by her gorgeousness. BLOWN AWAYYYYYY!!!!!! Favorite, duhtown. :!:

 

This setting was perfecto for a maternity session, dontchya think!?

 

 It's a girl! Mikey's favorite :?:

  

 

 Canvas in the babies room? Yes. Check and mark.

 

 I'm so so so proud of every photo we took.

 

 Enough about Shelly… CHECK OUT THAT HOT TAMALE ON THE LEFT!!!! HELLOOOOOOOO BRIAN!!!!!

 

So, we left location one… and as we parked for location two we saw that it wasn't going to work out without an accidental trespass… and we here at bobbi+mike are rule followers! ;) Shelly said,"we know you've got PLENTY already, we can just be done." To which I responded, "No, I like the new outfit… we're going to work it out right where we're parked" So… that's exactly what we did.

 Hi baby.

 

 I love these two. Let's hang out… often, k? k.

 

 …lean with it… rock with it… (Ryan and Andrea, that was just for your mom ((Andrea's))… tell her I said hello…)

 

 :)

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Back in April, I spoke at a photographers event (Mike was in Florida)… Shelly attended. :) After I gave my little presentation… she came up to me and after we exchanged big hugs (we've been friends for a while) she said, "so, I'm pregnant… and would love for you to photo Brian and I." I think I squeeeeled! "AYKM?! SHELLY!!!!! YOU'RE PREGNANT??!?!? YAYYYYY!!!!  I'D LOOOOOOVE TO PHOTO YOU!!!!!!"

As Shelly and I discussed her maternity session she said something along the lines of feeling silly for getting them done.. but so many other women she knows has had them done in the past, and were so glad they did.  Now, I've clearly never had children… so I can't add anything to that… but I can tell you that there is one photo of my mom pregnant with me… that I hold so close to my little heart.  Now, in that photo… her eyes are closed, it's out of focus… and my dad is probably taking the photo. So, it's far from perfection… but I'll take what I can get.  I would just love to see what my parents were like then.  Know what I mean? 

Photographing those two was full of fun. Shelly and I are both uhm… how do I put this… uhm… we're a little ADHD… so we can have full conversations about 20 things all at the same time :) I'm guessing we drive our men nuts… oh well. :) Adds to the charm, right men?! right! And Brian… he's fantastic in every way! These two were MADE for one another.  He's so ornery… so sweet and… has some SERIOUSLY aweseome blue eyes! :) I cannot WAIT to meet your baby girl… I KNOW you'll be amazing parents!

Shelly, you'll never really know how honored I was the day you asked me to photo you… as an artist that I truly respect… thank you.

Lots and lots of love friends.

~bobbi+mike :!: + :?:

 

Don't be jealous that I'm wearing my HOT wedding shoes… I was going for comfort… so leave me alone!

Wow, what a GORRRRRGEOUS maternity session! It’s always so refreshing to see ones where there are no heart-shaped-hands over the belly button in sight. So modest, and understated, and just plain adorable. Love, love, LOVE these.
