think PINK!


Michelle & Mike are expecting their first baby.. and it's a GIRL!!! I had such a great time documenting the first of many sessions for this young and beautiful family.  Michelle and Mike chose to have some photos taken outdoors, but with the lovely RAIN this week, that obviously couldn't happen! So, we shot some studio style photos right in the comfort of their own home.  The rain finally let up right when i was about to go, so we were able to sneak in a few "nature" shots! :):)  Defenitely some new and unique shots in this session! take a peek!! Stay tuned in July for the birth of little Mia Isabella!!! 

love you guys!

Alina
