Glowing – fine art maternity portraits in Ridgewood

Decided to take a very short break in my ‘stay-cation’ and post images from a recent maternity photo shoot.

I love love love maternity sessions!  Maybe I am so partial to them because I absolutely loved being pregnant.  I did not care that my ankles swell up and towards the end I did not even look like myself (40 extra pounds will do that to a person!).  I was amazed (a bit freaked out but mostly amazed) that I there were TWO lives growing inside of me…. I felt beautiful (I am sure that pregnancy hormones had something to do with my ‘impaired’ vision) and kudos to Victor for encouraging that misconception I had:)

This glowing Mama was absolutely stunning.  During our pre-session consultation she told me that she did not like to be in front of the camera and she wanted to do this session for her husband – how sweet is that?!    But she did so well – with a few helpful hints from yours truly she was able to relax and we captured so many stunning images.  Just look at her – how beautiful is she?!
