Maternity Session with The Art of Birth

Pregnancy is not glamorous. Morning sickness, stretch marks, insomnia, a million trips to the bath room, back aches, etc. We moms make so many sacrifices and it starts when we start carrying our child. 

But pregnancy is also beautiful. The bond formed is immediate and the I still miss hearing my baby's heart beating and feeling those precious movements inside my belly. Just knowing the miracle of growing a human being is mind-blowing. 

Since this was my last pregnancy, I knew I wanted to document it properly. 

I had the pleasure of working with Dusti Stoneman of The Art of Birth Photography and I was so happy with the photographs she captured. We cut it close because I gave birth to baby Levi only one week after these were taken. 

It was such a great experience. It came with hair and make-up and the session was so relaxed. It was nice to be pampered because the last few weeks of pregnancy we don't feel our prettiest. I was so nervous, but Dusti made me feel completely comfortable.
