What a fantastic time I had at my first maternity shoot!  Michelle shared many specific thoughts in advance and they were fantastic ideas!  My close friend Josée accompanied me and was a valuable set of eyes & hands - many good shots were made great by her ideas & close attention to detail.  Travis' folks were invaluable, they held up traffic for me, corralled our little one-year-old & made silly faces for giggles (our Little often seemed perplexed at all our hullaballoo, but she was interested!), they pulled our red wagon full of blankies, clothes & supplies, and tipped generously when a shopkeeper allowed us to use his closed deli as a private studio.   I praise God for this gift I've been blessed with - this opportunity to make art with people embarking on emotional phases of life - my heart is singing because I love these pictures!
