If I had to describe the day we chose for this shoot with one word, I would say…HOT!  It is mighty hot here in North Carolina and add 7.5 months of pregnancy to that and you get quite a combination!  Luckily for me, this little family (my awesome next door neighbors) is completely ‘go with the flow’, so we switched locations from a hot and bright park to downtown Wilmington, which provided some much needed shade!  And they took me out to dinner and ice cream, so this waddling photographer was a happy camper!

Meredith, Sam’s mom, asked me shortly after Sam was born if we could do a shoot every few months to document Sam’s first year.  We had dinner at their house over the weekend and I loved seeing Sam’s newborn photos on their wall mixed with his 3 month photos.  It is amazing how much babies change in such a short amount time!
