Help me win!

My ad was recently selected as one of the 25 finalists in an ad contest from Lifestyle Portraiture. It's kind of a popularity contest because photographers are allowed to send their friends to the site to vote for them. But that's ok ... I still want to win! I sent out an e-mail to some folks ... and if you got a chance to vote for me ... thanks! If you haven't yet, I'd sooo appreciate it. I really want one of the prizes that they are offering:) Vote here. 

As for other news ... stay posted to learn the winner of the nominate a friend contest!! 

And now ... on to the pictures. And man, oh man! Are they SOME pictures. I love working with moms-to-be. Maternity photography may be my absolute favorite. (Although, I say that about seniors, newborns, babies ... ). So, when Rachel e-mailed me and asked me to do pictures for her, I was excited! Not just because I love maternity shoots, but also because I've known Rachel for such a long, long time. We had to reschedule a few times because her belly just wasn't growing fast enough (that's the beauty of maternity shots ... it's the only time you want your belly to be big!). We traveled all through the house and took some amazing pictures while reminiscing about the last time someone draped her in white and then took her picture (her bridal shower where we dressed her up in toilet paper. You know the game. Good times.). And like many moms-to-be, she was a little concerned about having her pictures taken because she's usually a bit camera shy. But, as you can see below, we got GORGEOUS pictures. I can't decide who she resembles more ... Cameron Diaz or Carmindy from "What Not to Wear." 

So, enjoy the pretty snow that's falling. I hope some sticks so that I'll have a great backdrop for my family session tomorrow morning! Have a great weekend - Kate

Normally, when I arrive at someone's house, we take a little tour and scope out some areas with nice light. Somehow I missed the dining room during that tour. And what an amazing dining room. Thankfully, I stumbled across it at the end of our session. I'm SOOO glad that I did! Even the cat joined in the fun:)
