Prepare your hearts to be melted.....just a warning :)
Mikey is someone that is from the same teeny tiny town that I grew up in. He played basketball with my husband and we have lots of mutual friends. He heard I was doing photography from a great mutual friend at the same time that his adorable little girl was turning 2. He put me in touch with his wife Kimmy and she mentioned being pregnant. She really wanted pictures of Mya for her birthday, and MAYBE a few pictures of the whole family. However, she didn't really want her belly shown. Of course I talked her into a maternity/portrait session! We met on a gorgeous day with the dreamiest of light! Mikey took some gentle "nudging" to get into pictures, but I managed to catch him in a few, despite his insistence that he doesn't like being in pictures! Mya, on the other hand, stole the show! She had me laughing the entire time! When she started getting a little "bored" with our location, I decided to move us a block away to the local candy shop...and you may have guessed it, but she LOVED that location! It didn't hurt that I happened to know the young girl behind the counter which gave little Mya the VIP treatment, complete with a huge man-sized teddy bear to play with!! Mya was a blast to chase around that day and I'm sure she is going to be a great big sister!!!!
