Happy Easter! ✝️🩷🐣💐

So excited for our baby’s first Easter 🩵

“You’ve been really quiet lately.”

Yes, I definitely have been.

I have been keeping my pregnancy really private and offline, and now that we have a healthy and beautiful son, baby H, I feel really excited to share these little self portraits that I did at the end of my pregnancy.

I loved the challenge, first off, of getting photos of myself (especially with the limited mobility and challenge of how do you pose a body you’ve never been in before?) and I loved how these turned out.

I can say from experience: book the maternity photos. Or at least whip out your phone and get a few. Because once it’s done, it’s done and it can’t be recaptured.

As far as photography goes, I am currently taking a short break - except when it comes to photographing my baby 🥹. I’ll be posting when I’m back and ready to get back into the swing of things and I hope you’ll stick around until then. I truly love photography and the flexibility that it offers me to take a little break.

You won’t see photos of my baby’s face on here. I give all my clients the courtesy of not posting their babies faces, and I’ll be extending that to my own son as well. But I 100% promise you that he’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

I love you all, and I’m so thankful that you’ve stuck with me through my awkward silence. Glad to be getting back in the saddle soon 🩵🤍🩵

There are moments in your life that it’s meaningful to capture and hold onto through photos.

Waiting for the arrival of your first little baby is absolutely on that list.

These photos were a last minute surprise before the baby arrived, and it makes them all the more special. The mood of the day was very calm and relaxed, not the high-energy and playfulness of other couples photoshoots that I’ve done. This was all about capturing the tranquility that was already there.

The waiting. The anticipation. The moment.

Easy, laid back photos in their home, with no hassle and no stress. Exactly what an expectant mother experience should be for these photos.
