Maternity Photo Shoot

I'm so glad we decided to do a maternity photo shoot!  We used Chelsea Lietz Photography as our photographer.  We can't wait to do our newborn session!  She has a great studio between Boerne & New Braunfels & is super friendly.  We are so happy we got some great pics with the girls.  

I was a little nervous to do any bare belly shots but I actually like this one

Matthew's 1st pair of boots

Checkin out my belly!

L-O-V-E

This is one of my favorites!  The girls spotted a cat off in the distance & were dying to go off and chase it down.  

Can't wait for Matthew to come join our family!
