I’m such a sucker for maternity photos! I’ve been waiting so long to get these done! We took our first set around 25 weeks the first time around, but waited until my belly was much bigger to take them this time. I’m obsessed with how they turned out. The dress is perfect (scroll down to see where it’s from) and my talented photographer truly outdid herself.

MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION | PART 1

A mother’s love,— how sweet the name!
   What is a mother’s love?
— A noble, pure, and tender flame,
   Enkindled from above,
To bless a heart of earthly mould;
The warmest love that can grow cold;
   This is a mother’s love.

— James Montgomery

“It is true I was created in you. It is also true That you were created for me. I owned your voice. It was shaped and tuned to soothe me. Your arms were molded into a cradle to hold me, to rock me. The scent of your body was the air perfumed for me to breathe. Mother, during those early, dearest days I did not dream that you had a large life which included me, For I had a life which was only you. 

— “Mother”, Maya Angelou

These gorgeous photos are taken by my beautiful friend and talented photographer, Jasmine of Jasmine Amber Photography. If you’re local you must check her out, as her style, eye, and overall work is absolutely breathtaking!
