Throughout my pregnancy clients and friends have asked me if I was going to have do maternity portraits. I have kind of gone back and forth on the idea - not because I don't think maternity portraits are beautiful, but because all along I have not really viewed my belly as beautiful. I have had bruises and little blood blisters from injections that I do in my stomach. Sure, I know how to "fix things" in Photoshop, but I decided if I was going to document this pregnancy I should document it how it really is. So, I decided to do maternity portraits and to do them myself. Welcome to my self (with a bit of assistance from my husband) -portraits!
We did these today - my requested Mother's Day activity.
And last, but not least, some of me and my bruises.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms and Moms To Be!
