Just As Expected!

This shoot was with one of my dearest friends in the world, Mandy!  Little Miss Dakota Sky is due in a few weeks, and I have to admit I am very jealous of her uber perfect pregnancy!  Once she and her hubby decided they were ready for a little one, boom, she was pregnant.  She hasn't had the morning sickness that plagued me from day one until the minute my son was born, she's barely gained any weight, no acne, no swelling, no stretch marks and the list goes on and on.  I mean, this woman was seriously made for making babies!  I have told her (only slightly jokingly) that I would pay her large amounts of money to carry my next child for me!  She has managed to look gorgeous and actually have the 'preganancy glow' that I've only heard about all through her pregnancy, so it was just as expected that her maternity photos turned out exceptionally beautiful!  I won't be the least bit surprised if she just sneezes one day and little Dakota pops right out with a little bow on her head and her toe nails painted!  In all seriousness, this pregnancy is a very special one for me.  Mandy and I have a very special bond and have since the day we met in college.  We've been through all the major phases of life together and she's always been there for me.  She's truly like a sister to me and I am beyond thrilled to see her take on the role of motherhood.  I'm sure she'll handle it with ease and grace...just as expected.

I had to trow this one in because Riley is so goofy!

I heart this one because it's such a classic Mandy face!
