Katie Expecting {Maternity}

My dear friends Katie and Wayne are expecting their second and I was so happy that I could capture these images of Katie before baby arrives…isn’t she gorgeous??! (You may remember Katie and Wayne from their maternity session when they were pregnant with their cutie-pie Jaime). We are all anxiously awaiting news now as it could be any day!

Looking back at my belly

blank Looking back at my bellyDSC 9521 Looking back at my belly

I thought I would share this self-portrait I took the night before I went into the hospital to have Reid. Throughout my pregnancy I knew I wanted to capture images of my body and my growing belly. This is something I love to do for so many women, so naturally I wanted this for myself too. My clients always ask me when the best time is to have their professional maternity photos done and I always recommend sometime between 30 and 36 weeks, or when their belly feels ready to be shown officon smile Looking back at my belly. As the months passed I thought of my own advice and when the ideal time would be for me. With each week I would think, “Is now the time?” But it never felt quite right and so I continued to take my snapshots. I wanted my belly to be bigger for my pro photos! And so I waited….until I arrived at the surprising news of a necessary delivery with only a day’s warning…. and still no professional photos. So what do I do? I stay up late, set up my lights, my back drop… and strip. My belly isn’t huge in this photo, but this isn’t shocking as Reid was only three and a half pounds. This is as big as my belly got. I’m glad I have this time and how my body looked documented. And I like this photo. It reminds me of how I felt that night: scared, nervous and hopeful for the health of our baby, excited to meet the new little person.

Happy Family Day! I hope you are having a great day with your families, whatever shape or form they may take. I thought it would be fitting today to share with you these images of a beautiful family I was fortunate enough to meet and photograph. These five (seven with pups Rosie and George) exude love, curiosity, caring, and fun; all that it means to be a family.
