Kate is the sweet little girl of one of my best friends here in Houston! Â She was born while I was out of town back in January and we did a shoot just a couple of days after I got home. Â Crystal found out she was pregnant last year after we spent a day skydiving and then a week getting scuba certified! Â The day after our certification dive she took a pregnancy test and we schemed together how to tell her husband. Â I was SO excited for this little one to get here :).

Our friend JJ came over to help out and took some fun behind-the -scene pictures with his point and shoot! Â I think Crystal was a bit nervous about us taking the diaper off in this next shot!

I love this of these two! Â I actually have it printed out and it makes me happy every time I look at it.

We were trying to calm Kate here so she was sucking on Crystal’s finger while I patted her on the bum.

At the end of the shoot JJ offered to take a picture of me and Kate so I handed the camera over, picked her up and we got this great shot (despite her looking very suspiciously out the window, I think it’s adorable). Â Thanks, JJ!

I love you, Crystal!! Â I’m so glad I get to be around to watch Kate grow.
