we had the opportunity to model for a photography conference in san antonio. our payment was 5 photos, but she actually sent us 15!

(i think Jon looks like jason sudeikis in this)
it was SO HOT while we were doing this. the photographer leading the class would pose us and take a quick photo, then let her 30 students come in front of us and all take some with the location/lighting she chose. it was very interesting and actually kind of exhausting. i could not be an actual model!
this one is my favorite. i wore the necklace jon got me for our first valentine's day as a married couple. he bought it all the way from afghanistan and i think i got it the day before V day. my bracelet is one of two he got me for graduation.
the photographer said "it is very texas to have plants in the front of the shot and the subject behind". way funny.
all in all, it was a fun experience and we appreciated her sending more photos then she needed to!

the very next day we had family photos scheduled with a lady from church! she hardly charged us and did such a good job! she does it as a hobby.
poor baby didn't get an afternoon nap and was NOT her usual self for the shoot! i was bummed but Mindy did an amazing job capturing the moments when Prim wasn't making faces or throwing a fit. primmy could not get over my red lipstick.
handsome devil!!!
jon got her to not cry by singing the itsy bitsy spider in swedish. the second he starts to sing it she moves her hands around and dances. even if you say the title of the song she gets excited.
we used this one for her birthday announcement. so beautiful.
i love this face.
32 weeks.
i didn't think anything of this photo until earlier today when i showed my old manager and she said "you don't show this to a lot of people do you?" her husband used to throw their kids a lot, but i guess pictures like this cause controversy. no babies were hurt.
hey, a smile!
we took the pictures out in our backyard again and although it was the same scenery as my maternity photos last year, they turned out totally different. i wish prim would have been a little bit more smiley, but i can't be mad at that cute face and she wasn't crying so i can't complain! i'm so grateful for mindy for taking these for us.
