The Kelli Belly | Minnesota Maternity Session

kelli belly

As most of you probably don't know, I hosted a scrapbooking retreat a couple of weekends back. Life has been... big. I'm taking time to reevaluate a few things, making sure I have my priorities in order. Anyway, the spring retreat has come and gone but I do have some AWESOME pictures of this lovely momma-to-be as a reminder of our long weekend. Some of you may remember Kelli from last year - she and Crystal (another longtime scrapbooking friend) were selling some really cool scrapbooking kits and handmade jewelry in an effort to raise money for breast cancer awareness. Kelli and Crystal have since started their own scrapbooking kit company: Thingamabobs & Doodads (click HERE for a peek). They have graciously donated a kit which I will be giving away to one lucky reader sometime in the next week!!!! (Tune in this weekend for details.)

So back to the pictures :) Kelli and I had a lot of fun messing around on the retreat house property; thankfully, the weather was as gorgeous as she was...

Gotta LOVE this smile...

Such peaceful and majestic scenery...

We even managed to find a fun prop on-site:

With so many favorite shots, it was difficult choosing what to share! Just a few more...

Thanks again, Kelli for being such a willing model. Our session with the highlight of my weekend... well, that is, second only to Stacey's Froot (a.k.a. "Fruit") Loops bars!! Talk to you soon...

You have been in my thoughts - I hope you can feel the good thoughts and vibes coming your way. Thanks for reminding me about the froot loop bars! I think I need to make some!

Speechless....Tina you are amazing. I love all the photos. I had so much fun and you are so awesome to work with. I also want to thank you for the plug for T&D...if it weren't for you and Memory Lane last year, there wouldn't be a T&D! Thank you for being such a wonderful person with a huge kind heart!!!
