The Chumley's | Maternity Portrait

WARNING: This couple is full of smiles, laughter, and extreme cuteness! Beware of laughing and smiling yourself because of the contagious smiles in these pictures!

Meet the Chumley's! I LOVE this couple so much. They are some of our dearest friends back in good ol' Texas! Before moving to Arizona, we were able to stay at their home and see some of their last days being pregnant before Conner was born (which he was just recently born! Yay!).

We have known this couple for about three years now and they were apart of our community group. Kind of funny, but I did all the maternity pictures for each girl in our group (See them here: Samantha, Jennifer, & Julia). It is interesting that each shoot is a completely different one. It's fun!

Anyways, enjoy these pictures. I have loved every minute of them!

 

So we tried doing a more serious photo, and the previous pictures showed how much they couldn't stop smiling and laughing! Finally we got a serious one...

Only to get another laughing one! It didn't last long!!

This one is one of my favorites. I love using props. They add so much to pictures!

Ashley is gorgeous - love the beautiful eyes. They stand out so much in the color picture.

Another one of my favorites. They just look perfect for each other, huh! Beautiful!

Another serious turning into laughing. :) Ha!

Look at that belly! :)

And lastly, another one of my favorites! I think we were all rolling on the floor laughing after this one!! 

 

Love you Phillip and Ash - I'm so excited for the little bundle of joy you have began to take care of. I can't wait to meet him one day!

Jay & Julia | Maternity

It was a normal day with our community group. We were sharing a meal together; all squished around a table that normally seats 7-8 people (there were 12 of us) as we heard the great news of “The Wells are having a baby!”

It was very exciting.  Not too long before that day, another girl in our group had announced that she was pregnant. At that time, there were officially two women pregnant in our group, a baby a few months old and two of us that were not pregnant, nor had never been pregnant (including myself).

It's such a fun time when all of your friends are pregnant. At least, I think it is. :)

Anyways, the Wells told me from the beginning that they wanted me to do their maternity pictures. I’ve done the maternity pictures of every single woman in our group and I figured, why not keep the tradition going? ;) You can see Samantha’s here and Jen’s here. In fact, interestingly enough, Samantha was my first ever photo shoot!

The session was a blast! Hanging out with the Wells is already awesome, so adding my camera in that mix made it a lot of fun!

Julia is due sometime next week, so I can't wait to meet the new addition to their family.

Jay and Julia – You’re going to make awesome parents. I can’t wait to meet your little one! He/She is going to be wonderful!

 

I love these two pics of Morgan (their dog). She just loves Jay and Julia tons!

This next photo makes me crack up. :) I love you guys! 

 I love the 'sweetness' of this next picture.

JULIA! You are SO stunning!! Your eyes are so beautiful! :) 

 

Congrats Jay and Julia!

Jennifer & Ben | Maternity

I LOVE this couple! They are very close friends of Josh and me. We originally met Jen and Ben at our church, Watermark, through a random dinner. We then were put into the same Community Group and have been in that group for two years now! Crazy how time passes by.

One thing we love about Ben and Jen is their love for community and inviting people over. Jen is probably the most hospitable person I have ever met. She loves to host people and take care of them. They always invite us over and we play tons of games - "Settlers of Catan," "Killer Bunnies," and more. We love hanging out with them.

These are Ben and Jen's maternity portraits. She asked me to do them a while back and we finally set a time! Jen actually had her baby LAST WEEK! :) Her baby is the most adorable baby ever. :) Yay for babies!

I hope you enjoy these beautiful pictures, as this is one beautiful couple.

Thanks for stopping by!

I really like this picture of Ben. He looks like a model. :) 

This is one of my FAVORITES from the shoot! I love the lighting, I love their expressions and everything else! Ben and Jen you are SO adorable!!! 

Jen you are GORGEOUS! :) 

I like this image - it's totally not planned AND you can see how big that belly is! :) 

Ben was acting goofy throughout the entire shoot and Jen continued to roll her eyes. It was pretty funny to capture that on the camera. :)

 

Thanks for stopping by! Please leave me a comment - I'd love to hear from my readers!

Enjoy your Thursday!
