My love for maternity sessions runs deep! Motherhood is a long journey that begins with only a flutter of possibility and grows into something much bigger than ourselves. As we embark on this journey, our body changes. It grows stronger (we sometimes suffer) and radiates an incredible power. Growing a human being is intense stuff, but it is also so very beautiful to me!

For many of us, pregnancy is physically miserable. We don’t feel comfortable in our own skin, our center of gravity feels off, we don’t love to eat and drink the same things, we’re nauseous all the time and so many things that we feel like we can’t control. We don’t always feel the “pregnancy glow” that everyone is always telling us about.

But when that little human being has hiccups or is feeling fiesty at 2am, WE get to feel it. We’re not only a witness to the first moments, but we’re intertwined in them.

One day, you’ll miss feeling this close. One day, you may even forget all the pain, heartburn, fatigue and swelling. Capturing your pregnancy is a gift to yourself- an everlasting memory that is one of many milestones in your life. There are few things more profound than bringing a human life into the world and you, Mama. are doing it.
