My Pregnancy Photo Shoot

Saturday we took photos here at the house with my long-time photographer Madeleine Vite.

Normally I would have done these much sooner- I was super tired this day and super swollen but oh well. I really wanted to take them here at the house so I could capture our "natural state" as much as possible and with the house remodel taking forever this was really the first chance we had. 

I think they still turned out really great though and I hope you do too!

Just think in a couple of weeks we'll be shooting newborn shots with Violet Mae. 

She will be here any minute! 

enjoy!

Tea anyone?

I'm been a little busy lately with a huge remodel, but thankfully it is finally done! I can't wait to share the before and after pics with you, but first I have some catching up to do. ;)

On September 3 my family threw me a beautiful baby shower. We had high tea at the Biltmore Four Seasons here in Santa Barbara. I must say there are few things I like more than drinking out of fancy china teacups and eating delectable little finger sandwiches. I felt so loved and pampered. This shower was amazing! Here are some pics to enjoy.
