A gift

Pregnancy is a gift. Ask any pregnant girl and she will tell you it doesn't always feel like it. This 10 months of nausea, skin problems, swollen feet, growing belly, heartburn, backaches and so on. But it is fleeting, and when looking back, it will seem brief and sentimental. 

Through my lens, I want a mother to see, really see how beautiful she is. She has given her body over to care for this child and I believe it is one of the most stunning times in a woman's life. 

I have photographed Amber through 2 pregnancies now. Trust me, she does not know how beautiful she really is. Although it is plain to see to everyone else, she, like most women have a hard time seeing it for themselves. When she looked at these images, she saw it! And...my job is done!  I love that!

If you have a friend who is expecting, give them the chance to exist in photographs for their children.
