December 5, 2009 // portraits
I felt like a bit of a goof. I was all pumped for Kelly and Jason's session, fresh, creative and good to go.

Until

I got to the studio and the door wouldn't open.

Seriously.

Lame.

Thank you cell phone for existing so I could call them and tell them (gulp) I was locked out of my studio. Thank you mobile lock guy who came and fixed it. Thank you Kelly and Jason for being awesome about re-scheduling and THANK YOU sunshine that came out on our rescheduled shoot, making me look like it was all meant to be.

We started inside with some intimate maternity portraits, and some with a little less skin -

and then we did a last minute run outside, I can't decide between these two but the fact that there is a rainbow above Kelly seems very right to me.

Thanks to Kelly and Jason for being so fun and so gorgeous! I can't wait to meet your little bambino.

and THANK YOU blog readers for pressing the +COMMENT button below as each comment  = a can to the food bank.

Phew, you are probably thankful that I am done typing.

You must have an "in" with the sky gods because they certainly love to perform for you. Beautiful as always.

I have to admit, I had my own sneak peek when Karen got back from her shoot with you two and actually gasped at this last one! Oh goodness, the bike, the sky, the belly, the beautiful girl...what more could a photo ask for? Congratulations, Kelly and Jason! Looking forward to seeing you again!

wow, ok so I gott ask, how do you get the sky to look like that is that real or are you just damn fortunate. A great photographer controls all the elements, but not nature... nice work Karen!
