Shooting to Shoot - Maternity Photography with Carlie

in the middle of a busy wedding season, it helps being married to carlie. it helps because carlie always seems to have some type of non-work project at hand. and, for a workaholic like myself, filling my spare time with "something else" helps keep me from filling that same time with the ever-dreaded, work-for-work's sake. not to mention, when i feel the need [though it is usually she that prompts my need] i always have a hot model ready to be photographed.

so, here is a continuation from a series we started last month, to document carlie's transformation from young womanhood to young motherhood. no sappy anecdote here; just a few photos of my beautiful bride and lincoln's incredible mother.

  4. Could your wife BE any more beautiful? Please send these to a fab pregnancy magazine so Carlie can start modeling. It'd be a great way to start a little college tuition fund for your boy ;)

  20. carlie is beautiful. random note: my parents, specifically, my mother, thought carlie was super pretty. she kept saying (in vietnamese, of course) after the wedding, "you know the wedding photographer with the baby is sooooo cute and pretty and nice." couldn't agree more. love you guys. and can't wait to meet lincoln. soon.
