Oh pregnancy. It truly is the most beautiful thing, and yet when you’re in the swing of it, you can often forget. Something about expansion of size and nausea and exhaustion and swelling can make you feel a little less than glamourous.
I for one really regret not taking the time to have maternity portraits done, so when sweet folks like Helen allow me to take them into the woods and capture their season of expectation, I’m ecstatic! And then when said expectant mothers see their images and send you a message that says “you know that moment that you look at a picture and wonder how that is actually you?
well, that times as many photos were in that album”- you beam a little knowing you succeeded in showing them just how beautiful pregnancy really is.
Helen, you’re gorgeous on the inside and out, and I’m so happy to have been able to celebrate you and this time.
