my maternity pics

I can't believe I'm going to meet my little one any day now. In some ways the past 9 months have flown by and in some ways it feels like I've been pregnant FOREVER. As our due date approaches I get more and more excited to hold baby Reed in my arms. Amazing how much my life will change... I am truly stepping into unknown territory!

I have to say that probably my favorite thing to photograph has got to be pregnant women. There is something so magical about growing a baby inside you and it brings out such a rare beauty. So of course I had to get photos taken of me while pregnant. The first few were taken by my good buddy Donez, I was about 6 months along...

At 7.5 months pregnant I got my belly decorated with a beautiful henna design. The fantastic artwork was done by Tejal of Henna San Diego. Henna is done on pregnant bellies to as a blessing for the baby and the birth, and also to protect the baby from any evil spirits. The photos below were taken by Molly Marie Williams and I just love them. She made me feel like a beautiful and confident mama.
