Beautiful Sister

I got to do a fantastic shoot this past week for my sister Lisa. She was about to pop, and her hubby really wanted her to get maternity pictures, so we headed out with our two boys that aren't in school and got some beautiful images. If you know my sister, you know how beautiful she is. She is one of my role models in life. She lives with quiet confidence. She knows who she is and what she believes. She shows compassion and love for everyone around her. As a mother, she is unbelievable. The activities she does with her children foster creativity and an imaginative spirit. She makes everything around her beautiful, no matter how rough around the edges it was when she found it..... that includes people. Her beauty radiates from deep within...... true story, in high school she gave her english teacher her school picture. The teacher not only displayed the picture in her classroom, but held it up to the class and said that it was the most beautiful portrait she had ever seen. The beauty in that photograph had nothing to do with the talent of the photographer, and as I look at these images I see the same radiating beauty that has nothing to do with posing or lighting. It is simply the light that shines from within Lisa Rieman.

 
And Lisa just had a baby boy, Reed William Rieman just two hours ago! Congrats sis, I can't wait to see the little guy!

On a side note, do you notice something different with the logo on these? Changes are heading this way in the near future! Keep your eye out!

Ahh Cin,
What a sweet post. You made me cry. You know I feel the same way about you. What a beautiful person you are. And you bring out the same beauty in your pictures. You make us feel beautiful. I'm so thankful you took these pictures. Most preggo women aren't feeling so pretty when they are at the end and are so filled up with so much baby. But it is a beautiful experience to be pregnant and have that sweet little baby growing inside of you. I always want to remember this time with my sweet little Reed inside of me. I am so glad you picked me up and took me shopping to get some cute funky clothes and let me borrow your jewelry and practice shoes! And the picture taking adventure was so much fun! It reminded me of something we would have done with Maria! (Maybe a little on the dangerous side huh!) :)
I love you sis. Thanks for the fun memory and all you have done for me this pregnancy! XOXO

I thoroughly enjoyed the tribute to Lisa (It's all true; I agree) and the gorgeous pics. You are tremendously talented, Cindy! It's so fun to see your work. Mmmm... Lisa's response makes me miss Maria. I've been thinking a lot about all you girls lately. Love you.

By the by, most women could only WISH to look so hot when they are "about to pop." Gorgeous. GORGEOUS!
