Matt and Melissa have waited a long time for their baby. She’s due this week — what a great Father’s day gift for Matt. They won’t know the gender until baby comes, so that’s exciting.

Matt came in with a few ideas — mostly funny poses and weird faces. It was perfect.

There are a few with just Melissa showing off her baby bump.

Everyone loves this next one.

Then we went outside to the creek (we’ve been there a lot lately).

The water is so refreshing — not too cold, either.

This is a bit late, but I thought I’d post about it anyway. As you might remember, we were in a trade show a couple months ago for babies and kids up to around age 5. The Baby Bonanza. It was a bit different this year — in April rather than March, a bigger venue, two days long, and more events.

This is how our booth looked like this year. I think it came together really well. Since people loved it so much last year, we once again had a lollipop game where we gave out gift certificates. What’s not to like about free candy? We also had a rest area where people could sit their kids down and have them play with coloring sheets and crayons (washable, of course). And, of course, the photography on the walls, in books, on easels, and on tables to show off our work.

The highlights are the diaper derby races, so I have a few images from those.

There was a stage where vendors could demonstrate what they do — like how to exercise with your baby:

Here’s a winner of one of the races.

Another highlight of the event is the fashion show.

The fashion show is for the parents, too!

Here’s another vendor — this time singing with kids.

And the winner of the final Diaper Derby!
All in all, we had a lot of fun. We hope to do it again next year.

We don’t often post maternity sessions up on our blog, but we got permission from Flavia and Rick for this one. As usual, there’s a slideshow, too. Be sure to leave a comment below.

Corinne and Mark were here a few weeks ago for Corinne’s maternity portraits. She’s due in the middle of July.She practiced her “heart” before coming in to make sure it looked right.
Then we went outside for some portraits with Mark.
Be sure to see their slideshow, too.
