and the last of the bellies arrives on the blog.  this sweet little lady is sweeter than sweet and cuter than cute.  her and her sweet hubby were so fun. can’t wait to meet the new little guy next month!!!

and  now to beautiful momma #2 of the belly days (0;

This is Em. She is one of my dear friends and a photographer as well. I love her and can’t wait to meet the new little red head when he gets here next month.  I have some gawwwwwgeous ones to post of her but those are so special they are only going to make it the belly section of my site (hopefully soon).

First just wanted to let everyone know I leave Wednesday for New York for a week and will be unreachable. If you need assistance please email polkadotphoto at gmail.com or use the contact form on the website and  my office manager will help you out.

I have had a belly marathon of sorts the last two days. Three beautiful preggo bellies I have had the privilege to shoot. Up first is this one. You should recognize her because she is one of my favorite clients and I have photographed her belly, birth and every three months with her kiddos for the last year and a half. It is such an honor when clients become clients for life and also friends.  I adore these guys and they are always up for anything which makes me giddy. So without further ado….here is MB’s smokin hotness.

Guess what? Apple replaced my computer and I got it last night. I am so excited to be able to get back to editing even though the list is beyond long and makes me go dizzy thinking about it. So much to do before I fly out to Idaho in a week for shoots and to see my brand new baby niece.  Anyways I am going to try and blog a few photos here and there so be patient with me as I recover from the computer dilemma.  First up is these amazing and adorable family.  I have been shooting them since the little one was a bump in mommas belly. I see them every few months and they have gotten to be great friends of ours and amazing clients.  There sometimes is a fine line between clients and friends and am happy to say that these ones are great friends. I love them all dearly and am excited to see the new little one (yep mommas got another one on the way….yipeeeeeee!!!!!) come february.

So I bet you have been wondering where I have been. Well I know most of you have because I get emails and whenever I see someone they hound me about my blog.LOL.  So hello everyone. I promise I was gone for a very very good reason. The day after I got back from my LA trip I was in the ER and couldn’t walk at all. I got a bad staph infection on the back of my knee, really deep and had to have my leg cut into more times than I care to count. 20 days on the highest dose of antibiotics )which I get violently ill from might I add) and then the last month and a half with a gaping hole in my leg (which I still have by the way) prevented me from being able to sit at the computer for longer than five minutes. It is finally gone as of last week though and I have way too many sessions to share to do each individually.  I hope to post a few photos each day to hopefully get my caught up. I still have about five weddings I havent blogged about either so those will come too. For now here are just a tiny tiny few of photos that I have done over the last month or two. I have soooooo busy so much much more to come.  ALSO I AM NOW BOOKING FOR SUMMER.  Spaces are filling fast so contact me now if you are interested in having photos this summer.

I have quite a few bellies I have shot lately, which means that in the next few weeks I will have lots of tiny, yummy little newborns too and I couldn’t be more excited about that. I still have lots to share on the blog but have been busy getting work done so the blog has been a bit neglected. Anyways here is a cute belly to share and their adorable 2 year old toe head as well. I sware he could be Jacks twin brother.
**also a quick note to let you know that I will be out of the office Friday until Sunday and will return to work on Monday the 6th. Please call me if you have anything urgent, if not shoot me an email and I will get back to you on Monday. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

I have been working like a crazy woman the last few weeks as you can tell by my lack in posting peeks on the blog (so sorry about that). I will be caught up and able to post the million peeks I have to share next week. PDP will be closed over the weekend so if there is a delay in my normal 2 am email response, it is because I am out of town and will have limited access to email. Normal me (whatever that is anyways) will return on Monday. And here is a share to tie you over for a while. This lovely, lovely lady is one of my dearest friends. This is their first baby and everyone couldn’t be more excited about it. Is she not the cutest little prego thing eva? Oh yes. Nope, these aren’t her real session as we will do those end of august…..we shot these real quick for some shower goodies and invites. So fun! I will post the results when I am done next week.

P.S. There is ONLY 8 open dates left through the end of the year. Yes I said 8! Told you they would go crazy fast. These spots will of course go quickly so don’t miss out on getting your fall or christmas photos done by me.
