30 WEEKS
3.21.12
So I took belly pics of myself every single week in the same mirror. I was obsessed with capturing the belly my whole pregnancy. I felt this intense need to get each moment since I hardly had any pics of me pregnant with my first DS.
My pics were mediocre pictures at best and were for one purpose only, to see the belly grow and grow. I also needed/wanted to get professional pictures done. Ones that I could no way do on my own and ones that included daddy & soon to be big brother!
I contacted my long time friend and awesome photographer, Tiffany Kelly of impressions photography. I always go to her when I'm going to spend good money on pictures. Besides being a great friend, she is so talented and amazing with my son!
I was approximately 25 weeks when we made contact about the pics and decided 30 weeks would be perfect for a session. I bundled it with a newborn session with plans that she would come shoot those adorable sleeping nakey baby pics of Carter when he was born.
The idea was to capture me and the belly at its best! Big enough to be nice and round but I still wanted to be comfortable. Not ginormous and uncomfortable like you tend to feel towards the end (36-40weeks)

So 30 weeks came and it came fast!
And considering I am posting this months later with a newborn by my side just shows me again how fast time really does go by. So cliche I know, but so very true.
Any-who. Here are the pictures to share with you, Enjoy!

The ones that she caught of Jax and myself are precious. I am so in LOVE with them. This is the last photo shoot that he and I will have the mom & only child dynamic.
It was such fun being in the studio. Tiffany always knows exactly how to direct us since I never know what to do!!
I really loved the few she got of me and Jason. He isnt usually the most patient during these sessions. He puts on a face and gets it done but I can tell that he is ready for it to be over, meanwhile I could do this all day.
Jax is such a ham so obviously he is more like me in that category!
Tiffany did an amazing job at capturing the best and most flattering angles. Thank goodness because when you have gained 30 plus pounds, any help at a good angle is a blessing. These ones with the hats are such awesome photos, probably two of my favorites.
My best part of the session was when it was just me and the photographer. After the family shots I sent Jason & Jax on their way home and spent the rest of the session with all focus on the belly. We couldn't help but laugh and catch up while we were shooting. It was fun great girl time too! Bonus.
These I love because she captures the moment so well. I move my eyebrows a LOT when I talk and express myself. I was trying to be serious and my eyebrow kept going up and I was making this funny face! Tiff kept reminding me and it was making me laugh too hard!! <3
This silhouette is the most perfect of them all. I asked Tiffany to do one similar to what I had seen online. She created such an awesome picture for me and I couldn't be happier.
Absolutely Love This!
