Nensie and Sal are having a baby!

Nensie and Sal, who Matt and I are blessed to call great friends, are expecting their first baby this summer. I had the pleasure of taking their first "family" pictures with all three of them (in the belly counts!). Sal and Nensie are both so excited for little Emma to arrive. Sal couldn't stop showing me Emma's 4-D ultrasounds... you could actually see little Emma's face... incredible! He's already so proud of his little girl... as is Nensie. :) Thanks for letting me capture this important time in your lives, guys. I can't wait until Emma is born. Lots of love... and enjoy the preview of your pics below! -Nat

A beautiful mom to be...

Carrie is beautiful (and tiny for being over 8 months pregnant). We had such a great time during her pregnancy portrait session. She absolutely glowed and made it so easy for me.
Their dog Chase was not a big fan of the attention not being on him. Look at those puppy dog eyes!
Her husband Rod was very supportive... bringing her peanut butter covered graham crackers (I ate some, too) and an energy drink during the session to make sure she kept up her strength. We even convinced him to be in the pictures.




Their other dog, Cooper, gave Carrie a kiss but wasn't too sure about the lady with the big lens.

How about that leopard coat! What a haute mama!!!

After Carrie saw the pictures she mentioned that she wasn't sure if she was going to be up for taking pictures that day but that I made her feel good about herself and very comfortable... she said she even had a good time!

I can't wait to do more of these sessions. It is such a beautiful (and emotional) time in a woman's (and a man's) life and it's pretty special to be able to capture that time in fine art portraits.

Best wishes Carrie and Rod on your baby-to-be... Caden Curtis! I can't wait to take his newborn portraits!
