The O’Connell Family is growing again, and we are happy to be expecting baby number 6. Here we are at 14 weeks, not sure my monkey knows what to think of my growing belly.
It still surprises me that I am a mom of soon to be 6, merely because I thought growing up I would only want one child. Of course it was selfish thinking, the joy we get from these guys doesn’t even come close to every fun moment we had prior to them added up with a scoop of ice cream, with chocolate syrup… (sorry pregnant moment). Its funny but the number one comment I have gotten since we started telling people we are expecting, is “ohh your going to have to get a bigger car”. Rest assured mine seats 8!
For the photography, don’t miss moments with your own kids being stuck behind the camera. For this little mini shoot I shot in manual (always), used my cameras self timer, and ran like mad.
(f6.3, shutter 1/40, ISO 1250) not the settings I would have used behind the camera but I think they worked overall for a self portrait. Image is back lit by 6 windows.
Personally I am working on my black and white photography and trying out some new moodier styles with my processing, other than the conversion to black and white and tweaking those layers, I did very little retouching to the subjects, just removed some mosquito bites off the monkey, apparently they think she is the juiciest thing in Texas right now, enjoy!

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of your sweet baby!
