Maternity Session
Fort Wayne, Indiana

How do you all feel about maternity sessions?
Yep- I'm talking to you-- all my preggers readers out there!!
Do you feel fat? Uncomfortable? Swollen? Too busy nesting & preparing the nursery?
I totally get it. Once upon a time- I was pregnant too. I know exactly how you feel. The saddest part for me is that I leaned into that feeling. The only pictures I have are the ones I took standing in front of the mirror before I left for work. I remember giving in to the pressures of how I looked- our society has more of an influence on us than we realize, even in pregnancy- and completely ignored how I felt about being pregnant. Being pregnant is miracle & I really did love every minute of it.
I love spending my days with my daughter. She is smart, funny, kind, caring, & beautiful! Most days I find myself wishing I never had to share her and yet the short 9 months I literally had her all to myself- all the hiccups & bedtime stories & oiled belly rubs & shaking my right foot to help calm her- I chose to not capture because I was too tired & too swollen. Seriously, Yvette! I wish I could go back in time and shake myself. But I can’t so this post is like me shaking you… Please don’t make the same mistake I did. I’m not even saying you need to book with me {although I would love it if you did} but please book with someone. Have your moments captured! You will want to remember them forever. That’s something I can promise!
