MONIQUE & THEO...PREGNANCY SHOOT

You may remember my dear and wonderful friend Monique from before. If not, you should check out my past post Monique & Theo...A Baby! I am soooooo very blessed, I have the most AWESOME friends that anyone could ask for. I cannot say enough things about Nique...her beauty shines so brightly that she actually has a glow...or actually that may be her glow from being pregnant.

Nique and Theo were recently in Savannah for a baby shower. She came not knowing what the sex of the baby was...it was her plan to find out at the shower. ITS A GIRL!!!! We were all so happy & overwelmed, because anyone who knows Nique...knows she is a girly girl. How perfect that she is going to have a little princess of her own. Now Theo will have two girls to spoil and pamper...ha.ha.

While they were here, we planned to take a few photos of Nique while she was preggie. I knew I would get some amazing stuff because...well, she is GORGEOUS! I had to share some of my favorites. This is my friend Nique and she is beautiful inside & out!



Nique has the best taste in clothes. She never disappoints...what a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l dress!



She is simply FUN to be around...



This is one of my favorites of the day. I love the soft look on her face as she glances down. She is going to make an incredible Mom.




Another FAVORITE! I love this profile shot...she is so cute and tiny and adorable.



Nique is always smiling. I ask her to give me a little attitude here. Another rockin' shot....definitely another FAVORITE of mine. She is awesome.




Of course her eyes would get distracted by her hubby. They are still so very much in love. It was emotional hanging out and watching them together. True love...it doesn't get better than this.


Theo is going to be a great Dad. His kind, gentle ways and caring attitude remind me of my own father. Everyone who knows him is in agreement that he is going to be the first to spoil this baby.




They are so sexy and so sweet together...


I asked Nique to write me something I could add on the blog here because I knew her words would better describe her & Theo's happiness & love. Here is what she wrote to me:
"I fell in love with the man of my dreams 10 years ago. I actually prayed to God to send me a man that would honor me, love me unconditionally, and allow me to love like never before... and in July of 1998, God heard my cry and sent me Theo. He is such a wonderful guy and I am not only saying that because he's my husband but, his heart is so big...it can not be measured my any mathematical instrument made by man. And now to have a baby girl come into our lives...that is so wanted, so loved, and so blessed...already is beyond what words could ever say. Thank you God for this beautiful blessing you have bestowed upon us"






We took a few other shots before they left. When we pulled up to the North Beach area, I saw this sign and knew I just had to get a photo with it. This was to entertain us and it did, we were all three laughing so hard about this.



As you can tell, Theo also gets his share of pampering.



I love this one. It was the very last shot I took and it couldn't have been a more perfect ending...

Nique & Theo...You guys are going to be such amazing parents. Micah is already such a blessed little girl and she is going to have such a great life. My prayers and love are going to be with you always. I am so lucky that I will get to share this journey with you...I love you guys! ~cassandra

Cass, awesome job as usual! I really liked the pic with the "bump" sign! That's why you are so great at what you do. Monique is just as beautiful as I remember from 10 years ago.

Cass, you continue to amaze me and I am so glad that you are doing what you love!!!

Cass...I just want to THANK YOU for the beautiful Photo Shoot you did of Theo, Micah, & I. I feel like my gratitude is not enough to measure to your AWESOME talent. The way you capture LOVE, EMOTIONS, & DEPTH is UNBELIEVABLE. It makes it easier when you have a photographer that is very attentive, personable, and enjoys what she does...the friendship is a blessing and bonus :):):) I can not stop looking at these photos...I get memorized everytime I see them. There is one thing I always say...anyone can take picture but, you...you take PHOTOGRAPHS...that tell the true story of the people they portray. Please keep up the AWESOME work and I wish you the very best in everything you do. You are AMAZING!!!

To read these comments that others have left regarding this photo shoot is rewarding. I can look at myself everyday and still can not see what others see but, to read it through other peoples thoughts...is very touching. Thanks guys...Thanks for all your well wishes and blessings...we totally appreciate it.

Thanks,
xoxoxo
Monique
