Heather’s was the first house I ever slept over.  We later went on to compete together on the swim team in high school, and growing up I always envied her perfect hair and beautiful wardrobe.  When she reached out to me a few months ago to tell me she was pregnant and inquire about photos, I looked forward to seeing her again.  Here she is in her all her beautiful pregnant glory.

This little peanut, with her wispy blond curls and dark soulful eyes.  Love her!

I have a similar shot of Cora standing in this doorway when her sweet little girl was on the inside, so we had to recreate it nearly three years later.
