In Focus: A Mother's Farewell to Pregnancy ♥️
Sometimes, the most powerful stories come straight from the people who’ve lived them. That’s why I wanted to share a heartfelt experience from one of my amazing clients, in her own words.
This incredible mom wanted to celebrate her pregnancy and capture the beauty of carrying her last child. But with time running out and hesitation creeping in, she almost gave up on the dream. Then, one late night, she found me. And as she says, “That’s it. THIS is it.” Here’s what she shared about her experience:
"I thought about it for a very long time. I thought, no, I’m not going to do it. It’s just too out of my comfort zone. But I searched everywhere… either the pictures weren’t good enough for me, they didn’t capture the look I wanted, or the style. Then I decided to try one more time. I came across you in the middle of the night… I was like, this is it! I have to do this one.
From flawless hair and makeup to glam shots you’ll treasure forever—we’ve got you covered, start to finish!
Making it happen
I called multiple times that morning, and when you got back to me, I said, thank god! Now, can he fit me in like a week? I highly doubt it. But then you fit me into the schedule, and I thought, oh yeah, you’re perfect.
The shoot… oh my gosh. I’ve never done one before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But my expectations? They were blown away. I felt so comfortable and relaxed the entire time. I’ve been stressing so much, but for some reason, when I got to the shoot, so much of that stress just melted away. It felt like therapy. My counselors always tell me to do something for myself, and this was finally the one thing for myself that I’ll never regret.
Capturing the confidence and intimacy of motherhood in its most empowering form.
This is my last child—no more kids—and now, finally, I have something to treasure from one of my pregnancies. It makes me feel so warm inside. I’m just so happy.”
Her words moved me. Hers was not only a celebration but also an act of love and empowerment—a moment dedicated to herself during such a precious, fleeting stage in her life.
But wait...THere's more!
To add to the fun we captured her photo album reaction on video, and trust me, you don’t want to miss it. Her expression, her laughter --so genuine and moving, it’s impossible not to smile along with her.
It’s stories like hers that remind me why I do what I do. Whether you want to celebrate, reinvent, empower, or just love your body, your story deserves to be captured too. And I’d love to help tell it if you’re ready.
My goal as a boudoir photographer is to transcend mere imagery, and embody a powerful journey of self-empowerment and personal transformation. With over six years of experience working with women of all shapes, sizes, and ages, I've dedicated myself to celebrating individuality and silencing the inner critic through each personalized photo session. Join me in this empowering adventure!
