I used to think I wanted to be in front of the camera. Then I got pregnant. Being behind the camera is MUCH more rewarding and doesn't make me burst into tears nearly as much. No one ever sees how many chins the photographer has. (Bonus.) I gave birth to my beautiful son, Noah, in February and he has already shown me what a roller coaster motherhood is. I know that with the hectic life I currently lead (husband in the Army, living out in Colorado, & being someone's personal pacifier), this photography thing will take some time. Bear with me. :)

Mama Holly | 5.21.12

There are so many horrible things about pregnancy; the morning sickness, the swift kicks to your ribcage, and the sudden lack of bladder control.. to name a few. BUT there are so many wonderful things about pregnancy; hearing the heartbeat for the first time, feeling him/her wiggle around and, of course, unnecessary amounts of shopping for clothes they'll only be able to wear once. For me? It was the photoshoots. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH MATERNITY PICTURES! I felt like I was on my deathbed for the first trimester and felt like a blimp for the third. But during my second trimester, I had the glow. I felt gorgeous and I wanted to flaunt it in as many pictures as possible.

Back in December, one of my best friends called me up and told me that she and her husband were finally expecting a little one! I told her right away that I wanted to take maternity pictures for her. It's just something that every mommy-to-be has to do. She lives out in Colorado though, so I had to wait a bit until I moved back out there to take them. That gave her belly plenty of time to grow. :) Boy, does this girl have a BEAUTIFUL belly. I can already tell how much she loves her little girl. I'd like to think that I helped convey that love in these photos. I can't wait for this little one to pop; I'll hopefully be there in the delivery room.. camera and all!
