elle is about 2 months from her due date of her second baby boy. we talked a lot about photos and the meaning / importance of them during this time of a woman’s life. i hope these photos convey this to some of you out there, who may be on the fence. and i am not telling you that you need to hire me for your photos (it would be nice, of course)… but this falls into my most basic drive behind the way i take photos. it could almost be my mission statement.
as a man in my 30′s (do you really want the exact number? no? good), i wish that i had more photos of my youth to look back on. not only for myself, but all the more now, to share with my child. i don’t really have much in the way of a “maternity” session of my mom, either. i know it was a different era back then and photos are more commonplace now. and this is why people should be thinking of this. there is a good reason that photographs have always been on the top 3 of everyone’s “what would you grab from your house if there was a fire” list. and just because photos are digital now, doesn’t change that. photos are the record of our history. this is how and a good amount of “why” i photograph people.
too much typing already… back to elle. she did not take any photos during her first pregnancy and said that she really wanted to document it this time around. she wanted to also feel like she can still think of herself as attractive in her mama stage. so we set out to do just that.
let us know if you think we accomplished her goals. :)
another fun session and a lovely mama. wishing her nothing but a smooth final trimester and an amazing birth experience… thanks, elle!
