Mel's Baby Bump

Mel is a friend I know from teaching. She is always positive, and is there for anyone. Her faith has made her the wonderful person she is. I am so excited for her and Kyle to become parents! What a lucky baby!

Mel and I planned to do her belly photos on a Saturday morning. What she didn't know is that all her other teacher friends and I had also planned a surprise baby shower for that morning. Lorrie lives by the house that we were going to use for the shoot so we parked there and went inside and Mel was more than shocked to find her friends in the kitchen shouting "Surprise!" What a fun morning celebrating with her!

After the shower we went to the neighbor's house. They had graciously let us use their backyard which was on a lake. Mel is so naturally beautiful, it was easy to photograph her. It was a day filled with surprises-including the surprise I stepped in in the backyard (dog doo-eeew).
