My Maternity Photographs

Being pregnant is a special time where my body is doing just what it was made to do: make a baby! As a woman, I can't help but be impressed with how my body is changing and growing and all that jazz. Like many women, I wanted to memorialize this moment for myself and get some pictures done. Each week, my husband takes a belly bump picture for a book we've put together charting the journey from pregnancy test to baby....but I wanted pictures that captured the feeling as well, not just the outcome.

Before I was pregnant, I always wanted to see images of real women's bodies while they were pregnant. Now that I am pregnant, and we've taken these pictures, I want to share them so that people can see what a real pregnant body looks like in all its splendor. Even though I am growing and expanding, I feel beautiful and full of life, and I think that is what comes through.

Lucky for me, my husband is a photographer. I know that not everyone's is, but if you have the opportunity to get some professional mommy and bump pictures, I have to say, you will not be sorry! It's a great way to show off your beautiful body and capture a moment that is so fleeting. My husband and I hope you enjoy the pictures, and feel inspired to get some of your own if you are expecting!!!
