Bird Watching: Storks-A-Pleanty!

Get out your Audubon Field Guide and a pair of binoculars, 'cause the sky is FULL of storks! Sure, the economy might be in a slump, but it seems that every stork this side of the Mississippi is busy these days.

I know at least 10 woman who are having babies this year and we've been lucky enough to photograph a few of them. We actually did one couples shoot a few weeks ago and the wife commented on how none of her pants were fitting. I told her she looked great and so she repeated "I said NONE of my pants are fitting because my stomach is getting SO big".

*HINT HINT*

Rule 1 is that you never ask a woman if she's pregnant. EVER. She could be 8 months pregnant wearing a shirt that says "lil' bun in the oven" and until she tells YOU, it is best to assume she isn't pregnant, but rather she is an avid baker with a thyroid problem.

Anyhoo... we've done a few baby bump shoots and its been a blast. Its the only time when women want you to take photos that focus on their bellies so we have as much fun with it as we can.

The aforementioned "pants don't fit" woman and her husband are moving to Paris this month (the one in France) and after seeing our pics of another pregnant friend (pics below) she said we'd have to come to Paris in September to shoot her pregnancy pics.

OUI OUI!

Our passports are ready.... now we just need to figure out a way to get to the city of lights and red wine and baguettes. Perhaps a couple of out of work storks could carry us overseas.

I wonder if they charge for checked luggage.
