For the past couple months, I have been planning a friends baby shower to welcome their little "minion" who is due in July. I told them that I would also help by snapping some maternity photos to use at the shower (which will be-you guessed it-a minion themed shower). It was a lot of fun being behind the lens and capturing such a cute couple! Here's a few that I took and I can't wait to use some of them within the decor of the shower next month!

Here's a little inspiration board I came up with for the shower theme.

I've never seen a minion baby shower before so it's a bit of a challenge but I have some pretty creative ideas to tie it all together. I'm pretty excited for this one! :)

On October 6th, My husband and I had our maternity shoot with the lovely Cortnie Dee. We met up in Riverside, CA where my husband & I not only took our engagement photos but we also shot some pictures where we got married over a year ago! I was so excited about this opportunity to get to work with Cortnie again because she has basically been "our photographer" and has followed our lives together in important milestones!

Here are just some of our maternity photos that I have fallen in love with!

It was so much fun shooting our little family photos especially since we were able to go back to the exact same place where we said our vows a little over a year ago! :) Cortnie Dee did such an amazing job as always & I'm always impressed by her work! :) Thank you again!

I'm now 36 weeks pregnant & we are just counting down the days until our little man is here!
