Maternity Session

I’m so excited to share these maternity pictures with you! I shot them two weeks ago with Rocio Rivera in Santa Cruz, CA.

It was a mission to get some of these shots, but we pulled it off. By the end of the photoshoot my feet were super swollen, and my back was literally about to go out. I just wish my husband would have been there to take a few pictures with me. Ok, so I consider myself to be pretty conservative when it comes to showing my body or what not, but with this maternity shoot I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. Yes I’m huge and gained a ton of weight, but I embrace it! I’m just so happy to be experiencing this pregnancy. I know that I’ll be able to get my old body back because I’ve always been a gym rat and I’m pretty disciplined with my eating habits. That part doesn’t scare me, so I just want to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy. I’m so proud of my baby bump and wanted to show it off. You’re only blessed with it for a short amount of time might as well flaunt it. All of you ladies who are expecting, I encourage you to be proud of your bump and just enjoy your pregnancy. Trust me, I haven’t had the easiest pregnancy, but I’m just happy to be going through it regardless of how bad my ankles swell up or how much my back hurts. I just thank God for this blessing.
