I was so excited to be able to do maternity photos while I was visiting my family in Lubbock last week. Melanie Pittman is a photographer there who has an almost identical style to me: bright, colorful and fun photos. It was fitting that I used her since our styles matched so well! I started off the morning getting my first haircut in 7 months! After I found out that I was pregnant back in October I thought that I would take advantage of the extra hormones and grow my hair out, but instead it ended up looking very shaggy and not too cute. Jalie Harrell cut it for me (I've always wanted a haircut from her!) at Panache Salon on Broadway and it was exactly what I wanted! My sister did my makeup for me and I threw together two outfits for it. I had such a fun time and felt pretty for the first time in months! Here are my favorites at 6 1/2 months pregnant with my first baby..

Lauren - I read your blog and I'm guilty of not leaving many comments. I just had to tell you that you look fantastic and super adorable! I'm excpecting my first this year too and I'm a few months behind you. I hope I look as cute as you do at 6 1/2 months. Congratulations.

You look amazing. I love the contrast of bright color against the old school bus. So creative, so perfect.
