One brave mama!




With various scheduling roadblocks between us, Jen and I scrambled to meet for her maternity shoot just as she reached the 40 week "due any day" point. I love getting to document the belly at its biggest but this was a little ridiculous : ) It's been awhile since I have done an outdoor maternity shoot and my time with Jen reminded why I prefer it so much. It seems pregnancy is one of the only natural things we humans do anymore, what better place to photograph a pregnant belly than in the natural world? The colors and textures of the beach contrasting with smooth skin give these photographs so much more depth than studio shots.

I was so impressed that Jen enthusiastically went for topless shots despite curious onlookers and the cool November evening. She's one brave mama! I'm so glad she did because these photos are beautiful.
