For expectant mothers

I did my first baby bump shoot with Jessica, a great friend of mine from school. She was having a twin and she happened to tell me quite nonchalantly that she was expecting them. I was shocked and excited for her! So we teamed up for a shoot along with her boyfriend, Aaron but I realized I needed a makeup artist and a stylist and that's when Janelle came in, I had never worked with her on any of my previous shoots however I had seen her put together a mean wardrobe. I called her up the day before my shoot with Jessi and she was immediately on board for our first shoot together! We have been working together ever since!

Jessica's expectations
Jessica in all her beauty...She soon gave birth to twin girls :)

As in all our shoots, Janelle and I strive to keep the ideas artistic and fresh. And that is a constant for our 'baby bump' shoots. I can't help but notice with pregnant women that there is an atmosphere of tranquility and joy that surrounds them and they're willing to go "all out" within the shoot. I always feel privileged when I am commissioned to capture memories of such a special moment especially for first time moms...

I want you to share in some of the joy that I feel, when I am behind my camera.
