GUESS WHAT?! Jennifer M is going to be +1!

It was the shock of a lifetime, for the good! I found out I was pregnant at 32 weeks! Yes, I kid you not, 32 weeks! It was shortly after the holidays and I had put on about 15 pounds and the weight seemed to be gathering in the “muffin top” region. One day, on my way to my studio, I decided I was going to take a pregnancy test, just to rule it out, and when it came back negative I would go to the gym that night. As soon as I got to my studio, I took the test and it immediately showed up positive! This was basically my facial expression when I found out (only two days before Valentine’s day!)

I found out on a Wednesday and that Friday was Valentine’s Day. I hadn’t really thought about anything yet for Mike, but now I had lots of thinking to do! I had my first OB appointment early Friday morning. Thank God it was an early appointment because I think I was there almost all day! I went into the first doctor’s room so they could check me out, get a heartbeat on the doppler, and do the tape measure test. I was thinking I was only a month or two. The nurse did the tape measure and she said 30 weeks. At that point I didn’t even know how long the gestation period was, and I didn’t do the math all that quickly. My friend sitting beside me freaked out! She’s like WHAT?! 30 weeks?! That means you’re 7.5 months pregnant!

I started freaking out. I was immediately scheduled to go upstairs to have a high risk ultrasound. They did an anatomy scan immediately and also told me the gender and that I wasn’t measuring 30 weeks, and instead I was measuring 32 weeks! Scrambling, I went to Tiffany’s bakery and got a few cookies and had my due date written on them along with Mike’s name, and Nana, and Nanoo. I got them each a card and put their own cookie in their box. I gave Mike his separately and first. It took him a few tries to realize what I was trying to say to him. I have it on video. It is hilarious. Finally, I put my hand on my belly and he whispers, “You’re pregnant??” I said “I’M EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT!!!” His eyes bugged out just like in this picture below. That moment was so funny and memorable and special. I still look back at that video if I want a good laugh!

Mike of course wants to have an abs competition with everyone he meets. He may have better actual abs than I do in this picture and did or ever will have, but I’m growing a HUMAN BEING in my mid section! I’m pretty sure mic drops on that one!

My picture on the cover of a Cleveland Maternity Magazine! | Akron Maternity Photographer

Brittany & the future Wyatt

This photograph was taken last August, 2011 and at my backyard “outdoor” studio.

I have to admit, it feels pretty darn cool to see my image on the cover of a magazine. It was even cooler when I actually received the magazines and saw them in print. This really inspires me to keep the pictures snapping away and trying my best to get published!

Beautiful Leilani Adelle New(ish)born Photoshoot in Houston, TX

Leilani Adelle is the beautiful baby girl of my gorgeous cousin Aja. She and her husband Ross live in Houston and I had the pleasure of taking a trip down to visit them. Leilani, who is now five weeks old, is still young enough that she sleeps a lot but when she was awake she would stare at me and coo and do those cute little baby whimpers. I have to say, there is something therapeutic about having a sleeping baby on your chest. I hope you enjoy viewing these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them! xoxo ~ Jenn

Angela’s family was such a treat to photograph. There’s the two boys, Ethan and Andrew, and now they are excited to welcome a little sister, Emily, into the family. They such a beautiful family! The settings in their home are so beautiful and that made it really easy and exciting to shoot. Drew is definitely the ham of the family and Ethan is really laid back and easy going. I am excited to see what Emily’s going to be like! Hope you enjoy!
