Jessica - {Layton Maternity Photography}

Pregnancy is really the highlight of being a woman. It is something special that only we women can accomplish, and it is absolutely miraculous. Being able to document such a time in our lives can be a beautiful and personal remembrance. And a little scary, too.

I know when I was pregnant with my son, most days I did not feel particularly beautiful. Mostly I felt like a beached whale! So I can understand how many women balk at the idea of doing a portrait session when they may be feeling the least attractive.

Jessica was one of these women. She was pregnant with her first baby, a little girl, and the doctors told her it was a miracle she was pregnant at all, due to some health conditions. Still, she had never considered doing a maternity session, until her sister convinced her she just HAD to do one. When Jessica contacted me, she was so sweet, but very apprehensive, and worried that she did not have the "right" body type to be able to do beautiful images. I assured her that nothing could be further from the truth.

Her session was simple and modest, but we had a lot of fun. By using creative lighting and posing, I was able to bring out her best features, and highlight her cute baby belly. Her portraits are fabulous, and I am so glad her sister convinced her to do them. Every woman is different, but we are all so beautiful, and no one should pass up the opportunity to do a portrait session because they think they are flawed in some way. Don't let the important moments of your life slip away because you are too afraid to try!

Here are some of my fave's from Jessica's session.
