Michelle, Radde, and Michelle's Belly!

Michelle is due and May, and wanted to have some maternity photos taken of herself along with her son, Radde, as a surprise for her husband's birthday on Friday.

Radde was just a doll, (with BEAUTIFUL complexion, I might add!) and at just two and a half years we really had to work to get him look at the camera!

He was a little shy at first, until I came up with the idea to let him draw on his mom's belly with a washable marker. I thought it would be fun to get a shot of the two of them showing their bellies with faces drawn on them, (since Radde seemed to get a kick out of lifting his shirt along with his mom) but he got a little carried away with scribbling. In the end, I drew a face on Michelle's belly--and even though Radde decided he wanted no part of that shot, I think the pic turned out fun anyway!
