As she was sitting on the floor, Bear ran up to her and got comfy in her lap. He is going to have to learn to share but wanted to touch her belly too.
As I look at these portraits I still cannot believe that she, my baby, is having a baby! It seems as though she was just graduating from high school, ok college, ok grad school, ok getting married - where have the years gone. She is due April 3 and will be having a baby boy. He's our first grandbaby and we can't wait to meet him!
Tim came down into the studio for a few minutes too and I just love this image. He didn't stay long as I know he didn't really want to be photographed! No problem, this one is just what I wanted.
As soon as Tim left, Bear stayed close by and watched his Momma pose for her Momma. "You look so pretty Momma - why are you sitting on the floor?"
Many people who know both Jenn and myself often tell us we look alike, sound alike, have alot of the same mannerisms, giggle the same, etc. Well, when I saw this image, just for a moment, I thought I was looking at me.
Here's the the setup with Bear always watching what his Momma is doing.
Jenn is smiling sweetly at Bear and I'm sure thinking about her new baby boy, anxiously awaiting his arrival. And my last indulgence was being photographed with Jenn too!
I got out my new Hahnel remote and jumped into the photographs with her. We cuddled and laughed and laughed some more - I was in my glory, happy that Jenn was here with me sharing her stories, her sense of humor, her sweet self with me. I never knew when I had Jenn, almost 32 years ago now, that I would have this wonderful relationship with her and love her as much as I do. We are the best of friends. You don't know how deeply you'll love a child until you have a child. It is a love like no other. Thank you, Jenn, Beautiful Momma, for allowing me to photograph you at such an intimate moment in your life. I had such fun and will treasure this moment as we await Baby Beckett's arrival. I love you...xoxo

Susan (and Jenn), these are beautiful! Sue, you are so talented. I am teary-eyed as well, looking at Jenn & remembering that very special time waiting for my first son Henry's birth. So many wonderful times ahead for you all. Thank you for having us to the shower this weekend, it was a lot of fun, I enjoyed sitting w your friends! See you all soon. I can't wait to meet baby Beckett. Love, Amy
Sue, Your work and Jenn are just beautiful! Add my name to the list of teary eyed people. I'm so excited for you all. I miss seeing you. Clearly you are doing well. You look GREAT too. All the best to you, Tony, Jenn and her husband. Can't wait to see Beckett on the blog.

The photos you captured of Jenn and Baby Beckett are absolutely stunning!! You are soo gifted Susan!!! Congraulations to all of you!! So many love blessings!!! From your Dad's cousin,Eileen and hubbie Maurice from UK xo
I am so happy for my friend Peg, you Susan, Jenn and now Beckett, and all the rest of your families. What you have captured is simultaneously momentary and enduring. Your work is remarkable. I remember the days of juggling motherhood with work and community theater (what fun we had, eh). Thanks for sharing by posting; without the Internet, I may never have seen these precious family moments. You are blessed. Fondly, Dee
