that was her nickname as a little girl. i can’t believe my little sister, that i use to persuade to put on dances and talent shows with me, is now going to be a mom next month. well, hopefully next month, us jones girls have a tendency of going late.
i had the idea of doing her maternity portraits while were up north over the 4th, because it is her husband’s favorite place to be, and i knew the scenery would be gorgeous. i wasn’t disappointed. see for yourself…
