From our first dance to our first bump

My very own maternity photographs.

Now I’d have to say my wedding day was the HAPPIEST day of my life. Afterall, I did marry the man of my dreams! So, when pondering where to take our maternity photographs, it was sort of a given….the grounds where we promised our lives to one another. The Kelton House. Such a quaint little garden. Such happy memories. We are so very excited to share this place with our little gem. Soon. Well, when it warms up.

I’d like to give my sidekick {and dear friend} Roberta a big shout out. She was EXTREMELY nervous to do this shoot. I kept telling her, it will be okay, I know exactly what I want, we can do this! And we did. And sure enough, the photos are beautiful. There is something about seeing me and my hunny together. At the very location where we got married. With a precious life in my tummy. It, well, it’s just love.

So enough chitter chatter…you wanna see. Here they are. Thanks Berta. Love you!

From “I do”…

To Baby Bump…
From our first dance..
To a little one in between us…
It was the most perfect day.  I will never forget it.  My fairy tale.
Happy!
The Holts.  All 3 of us.
See.  She’s in there!
I LOVE this.  Love love.

And this.


Thank you Kelley. My hair and make-up was GORGE! I felt beautiful. Need yours done? Kelley Reid (Salon Lofts – 614.301.7603)


Yes, I have that line on my tummy. And it’s grown above my belly button now. Part of this whole pregnancy thing. My friend Cindi calls it a mud vein. Gross! I’m not a fish Cindi!



Giving Pixie Jo a bit of a stretch!

This last one is my ultimate fave. I’ve already had an album made of these precious photos…and this is the cover image. Love so real you can just touch it.

Thank you again Roberta! These photographs mean the world to us and we will cherish these forever.
