Maternity Photos

I wasn't sure if I wanted to do professional maternity photos as I'm pretty self conscious about my tummy and size even not pregnant, but I didn't want to have any regrets looking back. Instead of spending a ton of money I enlisted the help of a local on-line friend of mine who is an aspiring photographer, Jennifer Capitao. Since she isn't a professional, we just paid her for her time and then had a blast experimenting with poses and lighting. Jen is also pregnant and is due a week after me, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to work out a schedule to do newborn photos, too, but I certainly hope we can. She did an amazing job with our maternity photos and I'd like her to be the first to take photos of our little girl. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:
