I ran into my friend, Michelle, at a birthday party and started talking about pregnancy and all its ups and downs, about school, work and then started planning a maternity photo shoot. You see, if you’re pregnant, you will get my little speech about HOW IMPORTANT pictures are, how I didn’t get any, then gave birth prematurely. I told Michelle about how important it was to exist in pictures, to leave a legacy for your child – to show this tiny human being how beautiful, full of life and joyful she was.
My greatest hope is to awaken this little notion in every woman that she is wonderful, filled with boundless potential and goodness, that she is allowed to feel beautiful and smart and powerful and be whatever kind of woman she wants to be. In a world filled with negative, destructive and frightening notions of what a woman should be/look like, I want to be the voice of reason. Not just for my clients, but for my growing little girl – for the tiny human whom I’m raising to be a powerful, fearless woman.
So here’s to you, Michelle – you wonderful, smart, funny, sweet soon-to-be momma! Thank you for letting me document your golden moment and your beautiful growing family!
