I hope you guys are prepared for a whole lotta baby bump because I had the hardest time narrowing down options from such a unique batch of images that Katherine & Luke sent over from our shoot together. When I was introduced to their work, I instantly fell in love with their style and knew it would be a perfect match with mine, so I couldn’t wait to see what we could cook up together. When they came to our house to shoot they also couldn’t have been any sweeter to work with so it was a major win all around. I couldn’t think of a better way to document our little growing family.

When I first thought of getting professional maternity photos taken, I had talked to some friends and across the board, the ones that didn’t, regretted it, and the ones that did were so happy they had. So if you are on the fence at all, I say do it! Growing a baby is a beautiful, terrifying, and crazy business that goes by so fast and we will surely cherish these captured moments.

More photos and pregnancy talk after the jump!

People have asked me if I think I will miss being pregnant and my answer was heck no! I know, I have heard some ladies gush about loving being pregnant (I also kind of want to slap those ladies and make them tell me all their secrets 😉 ) but I am not one of them. Don’t get me wrong, it is an amazing miracle and I feel incredibly blessed to be able to be pregnant but the process is tough, I won’t lie. One beautiful thing is that I now see my body in a different light, I see it doing something it is made to do, even if I never knew if it would, and I definitely feel more comfortable in my own skin while pregnant. I know that looking back on these photos I will do so with so much love and the thing I will remember the most will be those magic fleeting moments of excitement and wonder, when everything felt just right… and then, maybe then, I’ll miss it.
