Pregnancy | 21 weeks

I thought I would share a few pregnancy things. For myself so I can always look back and remember. For my family members that are all over the world, friends and for those who might just want to know what is going on

Yesterday was our big ultrasound. The one where you find out the sex and the technician makes sure that everything is A-Okay! It was quite an experience. First of all I do not do well holding my water in to begin with and now that I am pregnant well just count on me going to the bathroom ever 15 to 35 minutes. LOL. Especially the last couple of days. Baby girl is literally right on my bladder. I know might be to much info but hey like I said before I want to remember these times in my life.

Seeing baby girl was just amazing. She was moving a little. And the most precious thing to me was feeling her kick and seeing it all at the same time. That moment right there as a mom just made me feel so special. Now that I am half way thru I am looking forward to the rest of the pregnancy and feeling her more and more. Baby girl is 13 oz and I don’t know how long she is. But everything looks really good with her and yes she is still a girl. So our doctor told us correctly. YAY!

Now we just need to work on a name! By the way picking out a name is probably one of the hardest things. I mean she is going to be stuck with the name the rest of her life. I know that God will point us in the right direction and we are just still thinking about it. Will keep you posted on that as soon as we decide.

Update on what has been happening…

- Officially a Girl

- Feeling Her really starting to tumble around and kick

- Haven’t really had any odd cravings, I really could eat frozen yogurt and chewy cookies EVERYDAY. I also love me some fruit. But I have been doing good about not eating to many sweets.

- I feel huge LOL – I officially look pregnant – still trying to get used to this new body.

- Yup I am still an emotional mess. I never used to cry during movies but hand over the tissue box!

- Been trying to get house organized and ready for baby. If you didn’t know we have an extremely small place.

- Looking at Pinterest like crazy to get ideas. And man there are SO MANY good ones! I have a whole DIY list of stuff to do. Maybe I’m to ambitious. We will see what gets done. I will share some of the things I have done.

Well thanks for stopping by and reading about what has been going on. I’m quite excited to be a Mommy it has already changed me. I have already fallen head over heals for our little girl I just can’t wait to see her and kiss her little toes and hold her. I know she will just be so precious!

Piper | Los Vegas, Nevada

I’m so excited about to day. First of all to show you all a few little tweaks to my site. I was up until 12:30am working on it. I didn’t even realize what time it was then I was like, “OMG I need to go to BED!” Work seems to do that to me. What did I fix. I changed up the menu bar it needed a personal touch to it. I am still working on links so they are not all working but they will be soon. Added a new profile pic that a fabulous friend Abi Q took of me while in Vegas. Added Pinterest. Now you can follow me on Pinterest from the top of the site. Or you can pin your favorite photos or whatever inspires you on the bottom of each post. YAY YAY YAY Happy Pinning I say!!!! You can also share your favorite post on Facebook and Twitter. Happy Socializing

I’m excited to keep on growing and changing as I go along. To add my style to what I do. Learning and growing is so important to me. I feel like you can never do enough. Enjoy!

Now on to the pictures below. This is Michelle, well she goes by Piper tooAnd she was my backseat partner on the drive down to Vegas for WPPI. I loved hanging out with her and getting to know her. At the time she was engaged and has since been married. Piper is the most amazing make up artist and if you ever need anything for wedding, engagement, shoots or if you just feel like getting pampered. She is your GIRL! I know we will work together soon. And I can’t wait. She totally makes you feel at ease and just has the best attitude EVER. Did I say that she is AMAZING at what she does!!!!

Piper congratulations on your beautiful wedding! I’m so excited for you guys to be husband and wife. You are so stunning.

Meeting New People | WPPI, Los Vegas

I was nervous but excited all at the same time. As this was my very first time going to WPPI. Yes I am just catching up on WPPI. I know I can’t believe it either. This all happened in February so it has been awhile but I did not want to post these photos from my trip. What is WPPI it is a mega photography conference in Los Vegas, Nevada. When some of my new photography friends invited me to stay in the room with them. I jumped at the opportunity. When you only know a couple people in the room it is nerve raking. But this made me really step out of my comfort zone to get to know other girls. That was one of my goals during this trip. I have to say that everyone made it so easy. It was a fun group. And I am so excited that I went. It was a good time getting to photograph each other and learn some new things.

Meet Sue. She was 5 months pregnant at the time. One of my friends had a shoot at this location so a couple of us went straight after our drive down from Orange County. We were very tired but we just needed to get out and do something fun. Sue is such an amazing person. This is her 2nd little one. I really enjoyed our talks. She helped me know what to not to eat. Since I just found out I was pregnant the day before we left. And I am a total newbie to being prego.

Congratulations Sue on your little girl! She is just precious.

You can learn more about Sue and her photography at her site HERE

What Are We Expecting In Late October!

We are expecting a BABY GIRL!

We are just thrilled to one day hold the her in our arms. But in the mean time I have been enjoying being pregnant and feeling her move all around. I am 18 weeks since yesterday and I have to say that besides the first trimester it has been going well. My favorite part is going to the doctors and seeing her move all around and hearing her heart beat. I can’t believe that I am a mom-to-be. I feel so blessed to have our family growing into 3

So yup that is why I have been terrible at posting on my blog. I have lots to show so I really need to get on it. I will now

It has been so nice. My parents came for a visit a little while ago and just to have them here. Lots of talking to the baby and the most special moment happened too. On Mother’s Day Josh, Mom and Dad got to feel the baby kick. I will never forget it!

Since my parents were here they took some photos for me so I could use them for this moment. Sorry about the last one. Dad it is out of focus but you did a good job. Thanks for capturing these special moments

Eitner Family | Hermosa Beach

We had to change the date several times due to rain. But we finally got together for some family photos. Yes they are twins! It was so much fun moving around photographing these guys. They are now crawling and just wanted to go everywhere in the room. But I love this! I don’t see it as a challenge I see it as documenting what they are doing during this time in their lives.

Half way thru we headed down to the beach. It was foggy and actually not that cold. I didn’t know this until we started getting ready to walk down to the beach. But this would be Alec and Nathalie’s first experience! I was so excited what an amazing thing to document. And the parents predictions where correct. He loved it…could have stayed there all day. And she well…didn’t want her feet to touch the sand and just wanted to be held.

I love these moments about my job. If you ever want me to capture any moments like these please give me an email amystonephotography@gmail.com. These are not little moments but huge precious moment that in the end are so great to have them photographed!
