Jean & Tim (& Tadpole Leonard) - Portrait

_MG_0167ja

Jean is my oldest and dearest friend ever. Growing up we always said we were friends since 4th grade, and best friends since 5th grade. Those details are totally important! Well now we're all big and grown up and Jean is having her first baby with her amazing husband Tim!

I take all the credit for Jean and Tim getting together in high school by the way. We were all a part of the same group of friends and one day Jean confided in me that she thought she had a crush on Tim but made me swear not to tell anyone. So of course that afternoon while driving Tim home I told him everything! Haha! Man, writing it out it sounds so bad, but I just knew they were meant to be! Tim played it off all cool, but he was totally giddy (that's right Tim, I know you were giddy!). And after that they were all flirting and in no time were "boyfriend/girlfriend". Haha. So I like to think I gave them the little nudge they needed to start things off, and now they are expecting their first child together! Hooray!

Jean and Tim live in Pasadena, but they came home over the holidays and I got to do a little photo session with Jean before her bridesmaid dress fitting (Jean is one of my bridesmaids! Yay bridesmaid team!). Afterwards we met up with Tim for a few photos including him!

You may be wondering who the heck Tadpole Leonard is. :-) That is what Jean and Tim have taken to calling their unborn child. haha! I hear they have a much better name in store once the little guy (it's a boy!) makes his debut, but until then, he's known as Tadpole Leonard. :-)

Jean's due date has already passed and I know she is getting mighty anxious for little Tadpole Leonard to come on out. Let's go T.L.!!!

Yay Jean!

So after our dress fitting we met up with Tim. Tim is an incredible artist and is currently in school for illustration and design out in CA. He's going to be big and famous some day, so you better go check out his blog now so you can say you knew him when. :-)

Here are a few shots of Tim and Jean :-)
