Meet Drew and Teagan (my cousins) and their TWO babies.

I have only a handful of pictures of my pregnancy with Tanner (and I am very sad about that). ??I had the thought many times over that I would have loved to have had an adoption shoot done with the others to celebrate our anticipation of them but I never quite got that done. ??When I found out last year that Drew and Teagan were starting the process of an International adoption, I knew I had to jump on it. ??:) ?? I wanted to do a “globe belly” shoot. ?? God had even bigger plans in mind though and during their waiting, paperwork, processing stage, a tummy baby showed up too. ??(As a woman who spent many years down the road of infertility, I now can’t stop myself from saying, “No it doesn’t always happen!” ??Pregnancy while on an adoption list only happens a small percentage of the time but it gets a lot of attention when it does so it seems like it happens more than it actually does. ?? Always such a cool thing though!)

Tummy baby will arrive in October, and if all goes according to plan, Heart Baby may arrive sometime in 2014. ?? Because both babies were being “waited” on at the same time, and because Heart Baby may actually end up being older than Tummy Baby, we thought they both should be represented in these pregnancy portraits.

And don’t you love the stance of my little assistant? ??She was directing from the sidelines and was a big fan of Teagan’s fedora.

Will be so exciting to meet these two precious ones! ??Much love Drew and Teagan! ??XXXOOO
