Family Heirlooms, 2012

Thanks to our photographer friend, Rachel Neumann, who took these pictures for us.  We treasure these growing memories every year!  
Michael wanted there to be a theme with this years shoot.  He wanted it to look like we were traveling together (embarking on this new adventure of adding a fourth to our family).  At the same time, I love how the dunes setting cooperated and blows out everything else, so that our little space and our family look like a self-contained little universe unto ourselves.  We are so happy together - the 3.5 of us, so I really like how this is portrayed in the images.
















This is one of Maren's favorites - she's getting so much love!










 8.5 months pregnant.  Ah, the joy of the fullness of life!







 This is how Maren has to hug Michael while there's a baby belly between us: she has to stand about 2 feet away, then bend in so that her chest and face touches Michael.  It's quite uncomfortable and hugs don't last too long at this stage of pregnancy!
