Maternity Shots Teaser!
Oh my goodness how I love seeing all of my planning come together…
I’ll tell you all about my hair and makeup drama when I get the rest of the photos back. It was a good splurge for me though. I felt so pretty!
TH came for a small portion. We nuzzled extensively and then and attempted to fly a kite from the dollar store.
My “field of pinwheels”! I love love love how this idea of mine turned out.
Balloons are so overdone when it comes to portrait sessions, but now I see why. Canvas worthy, no?
All credit for these goes to the adorable and incredibly talented Bethany Jackman. I’m both sad and glad she’s moving so soon. Her move to Boston is what is spurring her to edit these so quickly, but it means we aren’t going to be able to hang out (as we should, Bethany and I are really good together). More photos to come soon!
I'm a farm-raised almost-crunchy stroller-pushing picture-taking lifestyle-blog-writing gastronomy-obsessed divine-seeking thrift-store-combing cheese-inhaling pavement-pounding laughter-sprinkling lover of individuality and taking chances.
Love the balloon picture. I can’t wait to see the rest of them.

13Well, thanks a lot Jenna because I was kind of starting to think that maternity photos were an unecessary expense, and I didn’t want my future children to be jealous if we only decided to do them for the first pregnancy, but looking at these I really want to do them again! I’m glad you found such a good photographer - a lot of the ones around here want to be “artsy” and take pictures of you naked (you know, the kind where you have one arm over your boobs and the other under your stomach) which I’m not into. But yours are so fun!

14These look great!!!! Your hair and makeup look fabulous! Can’t wait to see the rest.

15These are great! Your hair & make-up look awesome and very natural. And I love that you used classic clothing - nothing too 2010-centric!!
Althought the balloons may be “overdone” in the portrait world, they won’t look “overdone” in your house or in your baby’s album. They are awesome! And she did a great job of capturing the pinwheels in your pinwheels on the hill shot.
Overall - lovely!

16You look so amazing! I love the pinwheel shot, it’s amazing what some well thought out props can do for a photo.

17These are so gorgeous, Jenna! And so are you! I think my fave of these is the pinwheel shot and not even because of the pinwheels so much as how beautiful and mommy-esque you look.

24These are gorgeous but I LOVE the last one. I would get a huge blow up of it and hang it in my living room.

25AHHHH!!!!! We’re SO doing the balloon thing with our portraits this weekend! I already have tons of pictures like that saved, and had talked the whole thing over with my photog. I’m with you… the idea has been overdone in the photography world, but when I thought of how sweet it would be framed in our little girl’s nursery, I just couldn’t help it!
Sometimes, trends like that are everywhere for a REASON.
Love your shots, can’t wait to see more of them, the snuggly ones especially. Snuggling is my favorite.
