crystal kelly photo – and a winner!

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who entered the giveaway earlier this week!  I’m excited to announce that DEVLYN DAVIS ROSS is winner!  A notification email has been sent and the wreath is on its way, just in time for Christmas!

Now onto today’s post….my lovely friend, Ellie Mae, is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.  Not only is she the most adorable pregnant chick on the planet (seriously, the bar is set way high for pregnant women everywhere), but she is also the creative talent behind Sweetly Spoken, her home-based Etsy shop that makes beautiful handpainted signs, AND she is expecting twin girls this February. Local photographer Crystal Kelly captured the tender bond between mama and daughter on a recent maternity shoot with Ellie Mae and big-sis-to-be, Bella, and they were too beautiful not to share! The first word that comes to mind with Crystal’s work is ethereal – every shot is so light, airy and whimsical.  How amazing is this shoot?  Check out these beautiful little ladies:

Can you stand the sweetness?

Crystal specializes in maternity, baby/children and family photography, and one thing is definitely for certain: she is a pro at capturing the sweetest, most tender, candid moments.  Here are some of my favorites from her portfolio:

Have a great weekend!
