This time last year we were getting ready to welcome baby Scarlett into the world, and I was taking maternity photos for my sister Brandi.

Now, we're getting ready (literally any day now) to welcome another Hackel baby into the family. This time, Dina & Jerry are expecting a little surprise at the end of December. And when I say "surprise", I mean we don't know the gender, the name, or anything about this little miracle. All we know is that everyone is anxious for this Christmas/New Year's baby to arrive. 

I was honored when Dina asked me to take her baby bump pictures. If you were to ask Jerry though, he wouldn't call it a baby "bump", more like a baby basketball. She's rockin' a big, beautiful belly - as you'll see in the following pictures. I don't think this mama can take a bad photo. Honestly, just look at her! She made my job pretty easy.
