Photo Shoot

Gabe and I took professional pics this past weekend. I was on the fence on whether or not to do it but I decided to take the big plunge and do it because if I didn't I knew I would regret it. Gabe I'm sure would have been fine either way!

I told my siblings about it the night before when we were at their house for dinner and of course my brother made fun of us. He took my 8 year old nephew and used him as his the "expecting mom model" (that would be me) and my brother was the "expecting dad model" (that would be Gabe) and demonstrated for us the various poses that we would be doing for the pics. We were laughing our butts off as my nephew wanted to run away and hide in a hole.

The photographer came to our house on Sunday and spent about an hour and half with us taking pics, some were taken outside in our back area. Gabe and I had no idea what to expect but it turned out to be a kind of fun experience! The photographer works for the same company as I do and I found her on my work online classifieds. She was super nice and her husband coincidentally is from Hawaii (Kaneohe). It wasn't uncomfortable as I thought it would be having my belly hang out in front of a stranger and barely wearing anything in a couple of the poses. Gabe and I were cracking jokes left and right and the photographer said that she enjoyed doing the shoot with us.

She said she would have our pics done sometime this week and I'll be meeting up with her to get the "brag book" that's part of the package deal that we purchased. She'll also be posting the pics online for people to order, so once that's up I'll post the website and password. She'll also be taking baby's first pics about a week after she's born, so we're excited about that too.

Can't wait to see them and I'm glad we'll have the option to order pics from afar.
