Sunday afternoon, Steve and I met Kelly in the park for some maternity photos.
Okay, when I say some, I really mean 207. But who's counting.
The weather was on our side - mild with no wind to get in our way. Perfect for me to break out of my coat. And great for not freezing my belly off during my wardrobe change in the backseat of the SUV (while Steve drove us to our next location). Though I would have loved a thick blanket of snow on the ground, I smiled when I saw a thin layer still hanging around some spots. I can't thank Kelly enough for taking time out of her day (all while getting over the flu) to get snap happy for a couple hours. She meant business - kneeling in the snow...sitting in the snow...screaming at people to get out of the way (kidding, kidding). But, Road Rage Randy Steve did almost run over a rude and inconsiderate biker.
It was a fun little day. Steve and I will treasure these photos always. Thank you so much, Kelly. You did a fabulous job!
We love them.
Our favorites...
The blanket wasn't working out for us the way we had hoped.
Still, I was determined to get a few photos with it. Steve stood back...
While Kelly and I cackled like a pack of wild hyenas.
This little bugger tried to trip Kelly 3 times.

Thanks for everything, Kelly! <3
Have a happy one.
See ya later this week.

You guys look stunning! I can't wait to take maternity pictures! Looks like you guys had a fun afternoon! xo
omg Maria, I LOVE them! Seriously the most beautiful maternity pictures I've ever seen! (and I'm pretty partial to ours ;) ) You look stunning in that floral dress! I love the purple one too...you have the most fabulous jewelry collection, I wanna raid it! You seriously accessorize to perfection, pretty momma! I am obsessed with the ones of you and Steve both...the love you both have for each other and your baby girl is so evident and really shines through in these pictures. I hope you get several big canvas prints of these and hang them in your house for years to come! Baby Girl will love seeing how beautiful and glowing her momma was during pregnancy. You are SO close to go-time, Maria!!! Do you have your bags packed? Are you getting anxious?! Ahhhh I'm so excited for you just thinking about it!
Hope y'all are having an amazing week...can't WAIT to see the nursery!

34 weeks? When did that happen. I thought you just got pregnant! The pictures are beautiful. I really like the one by the log cabin. You have a beautiful little family. I'm getting very excited for you!
These are such super wonderful fantastic terrific photos (and it made me laugh that you put the pole in one, ha!). I predict these will be family favorites for a bunch of generations to come. Nice work, and you look beautiful like always!
These turned out so good! You both have such fun personalities! Beautiful pictures! You look incredible!
You look beautiful!!
You are gorgeous!! Love the pics! Can you tell me the name of the lipstick you are wearing I love the color
Oh my goodness! Do you look gorgeous or what!? Loving the red lipstick and every single outfit you wore! My favorite is the floral dress with the khaki colored coat, SO gorgeous! You are so photogenic, pretty mama!
Well hello there pretty pregnant lady!! Look at you, oh my gosh, I step away for a month, come back and find it hard to establish a blogging routine, tell myself countless times "I have to get to Maria's blog, I have to get to Maria's blog" and you go and get all huge on me with something like 6 crazy weeks to go!!!!!!
Holy moly these pics are fantastic, I love love love the one of you sitting by yourself near the wooden fence (not that Steve isn't attractive, he is a spunk) I just love that one and I know you would be so proud of it and so happy...You guys are going to be a mummy and a daddy so soon, SO exciting!!! Now I am starting backwards reading ALL the 432 (kidding!) posts I have missed whilst being a bad bloggy friend but you know I love you and think of you ALL the time and I want you to tell your daughter the very second she is born that she has an Aunty in Australia and I promise to show her a real life Koala one day xoxo
You are beautiful! And adorable! And so stinking cute! I can see yours and Steve's excitement and love in every one of these photos (even the phone one! ;) ). I'm so glad you got to do this!
6 weeeeeeks!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!

Stopping by from the Monday hop, and happily following along! Love these photos, so cute! How far along are you? I especially love the last outfit, the patterned dress/tunic!! I wanted winter maternity but live in the south so it was more just bare, dry trees lol Hope to see you swing by high heeled mama sometime soon!
You two are so awesomely happy I just love it. Kelly did such a nice job. I loved the blanket photos miss red riding hood. LOL
Beautifully done.
