You’ve seen Elyse a few times on my blog – she’s one of my muses, and the uber talented makeup artist at The Brush – Mobile Hair & Makeup Artistry.

Elyse & Chad are expecting baby Cooper in just a few short weeks!  We went out last month for their maternity session and it was amazing.   I always have fun with Elyse and this photo shoot was no exception.  It has been a joy to get to know Elyse and watch her business grow.  She’s got a personality that you are instantly attracted to, and she welcomes you into her life with open arms.  I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her and her growing family.  I jokingly say to her that I feel bad for whoever Cooper marries because that person will never be able to love him as much as she loves him!

The fun will continue for us – if everything works out with scheduling, I will be photographing Cooper’s birth!  Yay!  We’re both so excited to capture the birth in beautiful candid photos.

Of course, Elyse’s makeup was top notch! 🙂

Oh, that belly!

Love the way he makes her smile.
