Babies Galore!

I have so many friends having babies right now! I made these sweet little shirts for a few of them that are having their 2nd and 3rd babies. I thought the "big" siblings might enjoy a little treat for themselves when the new addition arrives. Hope you guys like the shirts! Can't wait to meet the Bricker, Tucek and Tonagel babies that should be here before too long! Yea for babies!!!!

"Hi I'm Amanda and I am addicted to baby bellies."

Here is Tiffany's maternity photo shoot. She and Jeff are expecting their first baby in March. Can't wait to meet "Beans"! Thanks Tiff for letting me practice on you!
Who knew that grain bins make for a great background!?!?!?! :)

I seriously think Tiffany's belly glowed somehow. Check out how beautiful that is!!!

My laundry room became a perfect photo studio!

Tiff is one prettiest pregnant ladies ever!

We were going for a lot of funky/contemporary pictures. I like this one!

Some of my favorite pictures are actually the nude silhouettes that we did but I think I will just let Tiffany share those. :)

In other news... my camera won't work today!!! AHhhhh... freaking out a bit since I have 2 more maternity shoots lined up! I am thinking it is a battery issue. Hopefully I get it figured out soon.

Working on making a photography blog since our "family" blog has become loaded with bare bellies lately. Please remember I am an AMATEUR but if you are interested in having pics done please email me at amandatonagel@yahoo.com

peace out,

Hypothetically...

Let's say I have a "friend" who really enjoys photography and would love to do something more with it someday. She is crazy and eccentric and LOVES pregnancy and birth. Sick I know. I don't understand her. She would love to make this into a little business someday but doesn't have a cool name for it. Any ideas???? She would specialize in maternity, birth (yes, I do mean the actual birth! It can be really beautiful I promise. I mean she says that at least.) and newborn pictures. The name would need to represent that style of photos.

We need help coming up with a name! Can you help us out????? Feel free to use the "Anonymous" comment section although I would love it if you would leave your name. :)

And because a post is always better with a picture. Here is a sneak peek at the maternity shoot I did yesterday!

3 months old

A little dirt don't hurt

I would love to say that my boys don't normally look like this but that would be a lie. Last Sunday the boys needed some fresh air so I just threw some old clothes on them and told them to have at it out in the mud. They had fun climbing on the snow drifts and stomping in the puddles. Sawyer thought it was cool to just throw his motorcycle out into the huge puddle in the field and watch it sink. It amazes me the simple things that intrigue little boys. My boys are bent on destroying and conquering anything and everything in sight. I think this is their one true purpose in life.

Does this hat make my eyes look big?

Something about this face...

There's something about this face that makes me light up.
Maybe it's his goofy smile?

His cute little button nose?

His squinty "Sensow" eyes when laughing?

Big "Ben" eyes when grining?

Nope! It's that he is wearing UNDERWEAR!!!! That's right internet friends Sawyer (aka Paul Bunyon) is potty trained!!! He decided he wanted out of diapers. I was scared because I didn't want a repeat of training Charlie (year and a half). Sawyer basically did it all on his own within a few days.

We are so proud of our big boy! And yes he normally wears his undies on his butt. :)

Tonagel Maternity Photo Shoot

Last Saturday I got to practice using my camera and took some pictures of my sister-in-law- Amy of "Team Tonagel".

Amy and Greg are expecting their second Baby Boy in March. Hope you enjoy the photos. I think they turned out pretty cute!

These shots are my favorite from our photo shoot. My belly never looked that good pregnant!!!

Amy enjoys cooking. I was going for a "pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen" look.

Looking forward to meeting Baby Boy #9 for the Tonagel side. (4 sons and now 5 grandsons).
