Bellies!

I think that being pregnant is fun. In the beginning when you start showing you just feel cute. You have an excuse for having a little round belly, you have a natural glow about you, and you are just so excited to meet the little person growing inside you.
But, after about 7 or 8 months I have to say in my own personal opinion that I was ready to be done with it. I had to pee all the time, I couldn't sleep, my ankles looked like watermelons (this is true!) and it was a chore to do just about anything.

Then there are those people that fly through pregnancy like it is a piece of cake. You could be 2 weeks overdue and you are still out walking for your afternoon walk, your ankles look better than mine did when I was 11 and you can still fit into your "skinny" jeans. You just don't button the top button. I mean, where do you people come from?

This weekend I have the pleasure of taking some maternity portraits for Martina. She is 8 1/2 months pregnant and I think she is drop dead gorgeous! She just knew how to work it for the camera! Martina is having a little girl and she is just glowing with that new momma joy. I am very excited for her.

Here are a couple of my favorite images from the weekend. Thanks Martina for being such a trooper! I'm looking forward to taking some newborn pictures of your little girl!

If you are looking for someone to take your maternity portraits, let me know! I would love to be a part of your very special time.
