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.

Lauren and Matt | wedding at Levyland Estates, Carlsbad, CA

Another fabu wedding at Levyland.. I love that place! Lauren & Matt live in Chicago but decided to have their wedding here in sunny San Diego. Well the whole week rain was on the forecast for their big day, but luckily the rain never came! A beautiful day in Carlsbad, CA. Lauren put a lot into the design of this wedding and I absolutely love the yellow and gray color scheme. Not to mention the super cool car provided by dad. Thank you both for being so gracious and kind.. Salute!
