“During my first pregnancy, I was feeling a little unsure of how I looked.
So many changes happened so fast! Other moms convinced me I'd be happy if I took some pictures of my pregnancy to remember those new feelings, even though I was a bit shy. I'm so glad I listened! They were right! At the time it felt my pregnancy might last forever, but now my daughter is two, and those photos bring me back to that unbelievable feeling I had carrying her.
What helped me overcome my insecurities and embrace the moment, was the choices I could make about my photos.

Now I'm expecting number two, and one of the most exciting parts of this pregnancy is capturing the memories again. I show my daughter pictures of when I was carrying her, and include her on the sessions I have with this little one. 
I could choose the outfits that made me feel comfortable, with as much or as little belly as I felt I could show. I had clipped ideas of poses that I might want to try, and when I got stuck, Fred's years of experience with photography showed through as he guided me in a way that brought out my “best sides.
My family and friends were thrilled to have a memory on film to keep with them! Although my body has changed rapidly throughout both pregnancies, these photos made me feel beautiful inside and out, and I'll remember these feelings forever!”
