Pregnancy Portraits!

While I was in Danville last week, my friend Chrystal offered to take some pregnancy pictures of me. Chrystal has been doing photography on this side for several years & I have always admired the beautiful pictures she takes of her two daughters, Kinsley & Ava Graye. I was a bit apprehensive about taking maternity shots, mainly because I feel big & I did not want to show my bare belly. Chrystal immediately put me at ease & made me feel not only comfortable, but also beautiful. It also helps that she is a hair dresser, so she is quite in tune with how to make her subjects look good. She's a wonderful friend and extremely talented .... take a look at some of the pictures below:

I was SO happy with how they turned out - and you see that I got over my "bare belly" apprehensions! :-) We took these photos on Friday, and Chrystal showed up at my shower the next day with two 8x10 framed prints and several smaller prints ... she must have stayed up all night editing & making them perfect! We displayed them at both baby showers & everyone loved them - here are a few pics of the prints:

Words cannot express how grateful I am for these pictures - I will treasure them always! THANKS CHRYSTAL, we love you!!!
