Maternity Photo Shoot at 37 Weeks

Two weeks ago, we celebrated reaching full term by having a photo shoot at the beach on an absolutely gorgeous day. I really wanted to document this time in our lives so that we could look back on it years from now and so that I could show my children what mom looked like pregnant. We had a lot of fun at the shoot and I was feeling pretty good. However, if I do this again with the next pregnancy, I think I will opt to have photos taken a little earlier in the third trimester. Below are a handful of the photos that we love, but to be honest, when I reviewed the 150 or so our photographer sent us, I was just shocked at how big I looked. Pregnancy is absolutely beautiful, but that doesn't mean I am feeling especially pretty. Still, I am glad we did this and will have this exciting time of our lives documented forever.
