So, here we are at 37+ weeks and I finally had the chance to take some pictures of my belly with my family. That was the last thing on the “must do” list before Lemonhead’s arrival, so we are good to go any time:). I want to express my thanks to my wonderful family who are always so kind and patient with me and my crazy ideas. My darling husband shot most of these shots (lots of bringing me the camera so I could check things out and adjust the light, pose, composition, etc.) and my wonderful mother shot the rest. It’s always hard as a photographer to be on the other side of the lens, I think. But I know, I KNOW how grateful I will continue to be that we spent the time to find clothes and to take these images. As a young mother of just one or two kids, everything felt so epic that I never thought I would forget any of the motherhood stuff. Now, as a perpetually sleep-deprived not-as-young mother of almost 5, I realize that my memory is unreliable at best. What a blessing to live in a day when photographs are so readily available. I am so grateful for what I am able to do to capture the milestones in my own life and in the lives of my beautiful clients. I am a lucky, lucky girl:).
