Cozy in Oven 1


Would it be okay with you if I shared…say 50ish of Brooke’s pregnancy pictures on my blog in nine segments??? LOL.?? Like most photographers, I fully process 20 to 30 pictures per session for clients but when it comes to family that never quite works out for me.?? I have vested interest.?? :)??

These pictures are going to hurt a lot of feelings (including mine) ;), because I have three sisters who look like super models in their last trimester.?? Just isn’t fair huh??? I was swollen HUGE and had PUPPS and was just a mess (though a very happy mess).?? ๐Ÿ™‚

I was going to make you look up the business gallery to see them but I am not quite ready to put them in there and truth is I can’t wait and I can’t narrow them down anymore (what I am showing is actually not all of them).????

As I wrote the other day…I am so glad we ended up taking these pictures at their home.?? It couldn’t have been more perfect.?? Of all us sisters, Brooke is by far our “green” girl.?? She is an earth conscience, frugal, organic loving, regular pioneer women.?? They have 2 acres of land and needed every square inch of it for her hobbies.?? She has her own garden (which is growing nicely as you can see in these pictures).?? She sells her chicken eggs at the local vegetable stand (you will see the chicken hotel another day).?? She is raising (almost) four kids, 2 dogs, 2 sheep, 2 goats, 1 pig, several chickens and ducks too.?? She even cleans the little duck pond several times a week.?? You couldn’t pay me enough to clean a duck pond.?? Really.?? I am still in awe over that one.?? As these pictures progress, I am sure you will agree that taking them on the ranch was the absolute right thing to do.?? :)??

If you feel like talking to me, I would love to know your favorite each day.?? It always helps to see things through the eyes of others.?? Okay enough jabber – getting on with the pictures.

  3. Wow doni these are so good. Brooke looks very good what a beautyful family! I like the one where Daniel is holding braxton. Great job

  4. I like the second one best and a close runner up is the first one! I love how they all have matching flip flops and a little barefoot Braxtyn! What precious pictures and a showcase for their garden. Brooke – our hippie!!!
