I have been holding on to these images for quite a while....mainly because I knew I was going to be taking some pictures of the brand new baby that would be following along quite shortly after...so here is a before and after post for all those new mamas out there that are thinking of having belly pictures but are not quite sure. I personally am so disappointed that I never had this done...for myself and for my girls mainly. I never felt super "pretty" while I was pregnant (I dont think anyone can feel super pretty when they are puking nonstop for 9 months) but now that it is all said and done if I had to do it over again I would rather have had the pictures taken than not....and sadly there is NO talking Karl into having another baby just so I can have belly pictures....believe me I have tried!!!
ANYWAY......I think these are my favorite belly shots to date....and lucky for me this little mama had alot of ideas and went with me on pretty much any idea I had...some of them worked, some of them didnt, but I think these are ALL amazing....and for the record....I dont think it is fair that someone nearly 8 1/2 months pregnant looks THIS beautiful...
And the "AFTER" version.....This beautiful little baby boy has SUCH a good mommy....He was not such a happy baby for his photo shoot and I know that it was stressing mama out something horrible...I was worried we didnt get too many amazing shots until I started going through them and I definitely found some that took my breath away.....I dont think there is anything quite so beautiful as a new mommy with her baby....seriously. Its one of my favorite things to witness...And again, I know that it is probably the LAST thing some new parents want to do is have newborn pictures taken in the first few weeks because seriously, its a tough time....you dont sleep, you are SOOOO tired, you dont feel pretty......but believe me....you will never regret recording the first weeks of your baby's life and the connection that you have...it is one of the most powerful and beautiful things in this world and it was truly an honor to capture these moments for this brand new family. It was especially an honor that they took time out of their visit (from Utah) to let me do this for them so a special THANK YOU goes out them...Next time we are getting daddy in the pictures too!! :) Congratulations you three!!!!!!!

wow, these pictures are amazing. i wish i had taken belly pictures, i am so sad. to bad us mama's can't go back and recapture those moments. for all those mom's to be out there, i hope when they see these pictures it convinces them to have them taken.
