Maternity photos for Katie and Mike

Remember Katie from this shower? I was lucky enough to take her maternity photos and I had so much fun!. Mike and Katie are so sweet and wonderful and I can't wait for their baby boy to arrive!

We didn't have much of a window because Mike had back surgery and Katie's due date was looming. When we were able to go Mike was only a week out of his surgery and was such a good sport with me directing him where to go and what to do.

We started at a little park in Lehi and ended up on the train tracks which were right down the road. There had been a lot of fires and the sky was hazy and flat so I was worried we wouldn't get a good shot. But we ended up with several and these are a few of my favorites...

 I think this is my very favorite...

 Katie's tummy was so tiny I kept telling her to push it out so I could get the shot!

Katie's baby shower

Today I was able to host a baby shower for my good friend Katie! She loved the 'ready to pop' theme and chose blues, greens, and grays as her color palette.

We had these really cool blue paper lanterns hanging above the table, a circle banner running the length of the ceiling and so much yummy food. I sent everything home with Katie at the end so she can hang it in the nursery! (Afton loved these blue lanterns and wants some pink ones for her room!)

Everything was open house and Katie didn't want any games but she did want name suggestions. I knew she loved mustaches (thanks Pinterest) so I had a glass jar with a vinyl mustache on the front to hold name suggestions. Each person wrote their suggestion on a mustache, posed for a photo and stuck it in the jar. It was fun after presents to listen to the suggestions! I wonder what she'll choose??
