Every other Sunday night Kylie and I have the privilege of hanging out and fellowshipping with some fantastic couples going through a similar phase in their marriage (0-3 years married) as part of our Foundation Group.  In addition to our awesome mentor couple Terry & Susan, Jason & Laura sometimes also lead the group during our get-togethers since they've been through the Foundation Group process before. Jason & Laura were expecting a little brother for the first son, Lincoln, so we got together to create a few images of Laura during her last few days of pregnancy.  I say "were expecting" because between the time we got together at their new house for a session and the time it's taken me to post the images here on the blog a couple weeks later, their new baby boy, Jackson, has since made his debut to the world.  In fact, Laura had Jackson just barely a week after our session.  Whew... just in time.   I can't say enough good things about Jason & Laura.  They both have a heart for Christ and a desire to serve, and they're just. so. nice.  We feel blessed to have ended up in a group with them and the rest of the couples in our Foundation Group. A few of my favorites from our session...

Isn't Laura adorable?  She's so tiny, even at 8 months...

Here's big brother Lincoln showin' some love to his soon-to-be best bud.

One word... suh-weet.

Love me some off-camera flash.  Beautiful light.

Loved the way the light was falling across Laura's face in this image.  I had Jason holding a small video light from above and to Laura's right to create this look.

My friend's Debi & Francis are preparing to welcome home their first little one in just a couple days.  At eight and half months pregnant, Debi looks pretty fantastic.  I mean, when we showed up at their house to create a few images of her belly, I was expecting Debi to look, well, more pregnant.  She's always been physically fit, but if I didn't see her little bump, I'd never guess she was pregnant.  Yes, she looks that amazing. Here's just a couple from our quick session.

Debi & Francis have 3 Weimaraners, and after a little coaxing, we got the 2 youngest ones to jump in and break in the crib a bit for the baby.

Welcome to the big show, Zayne Alexander Jennings. My friends Mike (a.k.a. "Hippie" in his previous life) and Melanie had their first baby boy this past Friday. He's a tiny little guy with lotsa hair and even more touchdown catches ahead of him. Let's hope the checkerboard clown shoes bypass a generation, though. (Sorry, Hippie... it was too easy. [grin]).

By the way, you can see more of Mike and Melanie from a while back here and here.

I recently met Angie and Jeff for a maternity session at their beautiful home as their expecting their 2nd little one any day now. We we originally going to do an outdoor session, but summer heat has set in pretty early this year in Texas, and if we'd done the session outside I'm certain we'd have been headed to the hospital... the only question would've been whether it was because Angie went into labor or I passed out from overheating. Meet Angie. Doesn't she look fantastic at 9 months?

I also got to meet sweet little Sophia. She was a little shy at first, but she came around after we started playing the "are-you-ticklish-I'm-gonna-get-you" game. She's ready to be a big sister.

Check out Angie's cool toe nails with the flowers. Completely fits her sweet & adorable personality.
