Last weekend G and I were lucky enough to spend an afternoon with Melissa Oholendt–an amazingly talented and oh-so-fun lifestyle and wedding photographer from the Twin Cities. Melissa contacted me several months ago to see if G and I would be interested in a photo shoot. One look at her work and I was sold! Shortly afterwards, I announced we were expecting our first child and sent Mel an email asking if she’d be willing to postpone our plans a bit to do a pregnancy photo shoot with us in the fall. I was thrilled when she agreed!
Here’s a little teaser from our session:

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience and such wonderful memories, Mel! It was so great to work with you and I sincerely hope we meet again!
I don’t think it’s possible for you to get any cuter! You are such a beautiful pregnant woman!! The pictures are beautiful! You both look so happy.
You look SO DARN CUTE!!!!! Love the pics (especially the one of the two f you sitting in the grass… the first pic! It’s so precious!)
I love how happy you both look! Have I ever told you that I love your hair?! Because I do.
Awesome pics!
You two are adorable, Dusty!
So beautiful!
These pictures made me feel all warm and fuzzy
I can’t wait to see what baby “G&D” will look like. I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and I just adore you guys! Thank you for setting such a great example and being a “big sister” by sharing all of your experiences with us.
It’s an honor to be able to peak inside your world!

This is my first comment, but I’ve been reading for awhile. These photos are so gorgeous! I must say I prefer the outdoor pregnant shots to the naked belly sexier shots that a lot of people do. I like those too – but the outdoor shots are so sweet. You guys look great!
You guys look amazing- so excited as parents-to-be. This is one thing that did not get crossed off my list when I was pregnant, so living vicariously through you is fun!
Oh I LOVE the first one! Your bump is adorable.
What sweet photos! You look absolutely amazing!
Truly lovely. You’re such a doll.
the first one is too cute!!
She is so amazing, hands my favorite “blog friend” I have “met” so far. Such a talent! Girl is going places!
You and your hubby look cute together!
Great photos! We did our family photos two weeks ago too — just in time for the fall colours!
OMG! You two are the cutest couple ever. Congrats again, you look fabulous pregnant!
Ohhhhhh how I love you. I mean really – you realize that I am now totally obsessed with you and Greg? I’m so glad we’re friends.
(And I am a comment whore so I am pretty much in heaven.)
PS – SARAH I LOVE TO YOU! Man – together we would be like a trifecta of fashion, sweetness and sass.
Beautiful pictures!
You all are adorable!
They look great! Good luck picking
You have such a sweet smile when you are looking at your man in those photos.
Beautiful pictures!
Thank you so much everyone. All your wonderful comments have left me near speechless. I hardly know what to say other than thank you so much for such kind words. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again–you all sure do know how to make a(n ever-expanding) pregnant woman feel good about herself!
@jenni–That first pic is my favorite, too! <3
Thank you Megan–that’s so sweet of you to say!
