In early January 2013 I got the feeling of "could I be pregnant?" and sure enough...
Baby's first photobomb? |
This wasn't my first rodeo, so I knew what was in store for my body.
I was reluctant to have maternity photos taken because I felt like a cow. But I knew that this was most likely my last pregnancy, and I didn't have them taken with my first, so I went for it. And I am so glad I did! EyeWonder Photography made me into a beautiful earth goddess mama.
Like the dress? I took inspiration from A Beautiful Mess and her adorable and EASY no-sew maternity dress.
Naturally, I had pinned some inspiration maternity photos on Pinterest -- of course I did! But I'm so happy that EyeWonder had this vision, and that I had the energy and ability to traipse around in the woods on a humid morning, because it turned out to be amazing.
When I got the photos from EyeWonder, I exclaimed "I don't actually look like that!!" They are magicians with cameras, for realz. I'm so glad I went for it to document such a brief yet exciting and important time of my life.
On September 9th, I gave birth to my second beautiful boy and life has been stuck on the fast forward button ever since.
I've returned to work, and life is crazier than ever. But I have the creative itch nagging me, and I know I'm happier when I have my creative outlet open. So hopefully you will be hearing more from me this year!
