I'm so thankful Mallorie of Mallorie Owens Photography came to our home to photograph our family of 5. The babies were just 10 days old. I was a hot mess prior to the shoot trying to look decent, and wrangling my 3 year old to sit still for photos was not an easy task. Thankfully Mallorie was super patient and sweet and the photos came out amazing! Turner really is obsessed with his new brother and sister, and the photos of him glancing in to their crib shows a tiny glimpse of their relationship. Seeing the photos of us all together makes me smile. I truly can't believe we are a family of 5, we are complete.

I had the privilege of having my maternity photos taken by photographer Todd White a few weeks ago in Georgetown. I was 26 weeks pregnant, but the black dress really hides my bump. The shoot was more fashion minded, so Alex and Turner didn't join me. Although, I did miss having them in the photos, it was much easier not having a toddler running around (plus coordinating outfits is so dang stressful). 

I did my own hair, and my makeup was done by Sarah Frey. I had never had my makeup professionally done for photos, but boy did it make all the difference! I'm so used to doing my own makeup which is very minimal, that seeing myself in darker makeup threw me off a bit but Sarah promised me that it would turn out great in photos. She was right...you can actually see my eyebrows and lips ; ). I also wore fake eyelashes which blew my mind.  I remember coming home after the shoot all dressed up, makeup done, hair done and having no where to go...sweat pants immediately came on : ( Stay tuned for Part 2 which includes a completely different outfit and scenery.
