I mentioned a few posts back that I was considering having maternity photos taken. I've never had them done with previous pregnancies, and felt like if I ever wanted to document myself in this preggo state, it was now or never.
I knew I didn't want anything belly-baring or overly serious/pensive. Having lost our last baby has made me more contemplative, scared and grateful during this pregnancy, but the joy and humor of being pregnant again has not been swept aside - and I wanted to capture that.
I found a really wonderful, kind and patient photographer here in Rio, who just had a baby herself. I think she registered just what I was hoping for. Having Ipanema Beach as a backdrop didn't hurt, either!
What d'ya think?

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. What a great idea. I always avoid the camera during pregnancy. Your photos make me realize how beautiful and wonderful our bodies are, to be able to bring a little life into the world.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Love these and they totally capture the essence of you (or as I know you through your blog)!
