I wasn't planning on doing maternity photos. When I first got pregnant, I wasn't happy with my body or how I looked, and I was incredibly self conscious about my appearance. As I've gone through this journey, I have developed a new perspective about my body and the way I look. I am more comfortable in my skin now than I probably ever have been. Maybe even more so than when I got married (and I worked really hard and lost a bunch of weight before my wedding!). I suppose it helps that I got gestational diabetes and because of that, I have lost 11 pounds, putting me 3 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight.
Anyway, I hired the amazing, wonderful, talented, gorgeous, and all around awesome Shillawna Ruffner to come take pictures of my shower, and we arranged to meet up about an hour before the shower so she could shoot all the details. Weeeeelllllll... my mom forgot that we had planned to be there early and was not there, so we couldn't get into the clubhouse. Rather than sit around and twiddle our thumbs, Shillawna and I seized the moment and did some impromptu maternity photos, and I am SOOOOOO glad we did! I absolutely love them. Looking at them, I feel more beautiful than I ever thought possible while I was pregnant. Here are my favorites from our shoot.
