Mama-to-be-again Dawne

One of my hopes for every pregnant woman is that she has photos of herself and her belly to look back on. We forget so quickly what it felt like to carry our babies inside of us, how magical it is to feel the baby move, and how strange and wonderful those big bellies are. When my friend Dawne told me that she actually liked her pregnant form better this time around (she has a two-year-old son, Sawyer, who was born the same day as Abigail), I insisted on doing a few belly pics. I'm so glad I did because I've got some new favorites!

I love the light and Dawne's tender expression here.
A classic close-up.
Sawyer and Mama. Aren't his eyes great?

Beautiful eyes and cheek bones, with a hint of belly in the background.
Dawne, Tony, and Sawyer. The family of three, soon to be four.

And the much-desired, though not often captured, sibling kissing the belly/baby shot. I love it!
Dawne, I hope some of these will help you to remember how beautiful you are and how anticipated this little baby is. I can't wait to meet Sawyer's, baby brother or sister. I guess it won't be long now! Enjoy!

Mama (to be) Mackenzie

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Mackenzie, mother-to-be, in her Seattle home for some belly photos. This woman has a body that just won't quit -- even at 36 weeks pregnant -- and I have to admit, I was more than a little jealous. I arrived armed with all kinds of fabric drapes and backdrops, but after touring her home, I was more interested in shooting Mackenzie in her everyday environment -- because it's GORGEOUS! I love all the clean lines and bright spots of color. I don't know if it was the feng shui or Mackenzie's calm demeanor, but I immediately felt at home.

This west-facing window brought in lots of light. I love how sophisticated (and sexy) Mackenzie is here.

Isn't her belly PERFECT?
The red door thrilled me, as did the green shoes, but there's something so moving about a woman looking down at her belly, her baby. It's a communion between the two, and it's just beautiful.
I had to include this one of Oliver walking by.
Another luscious belly shot.
Girly and sweet.
Mod mama.
And here is my absolute favorite shot of the day.

Mackenzie, our time went by way too fast. I can't wait to see you again next week for part two!
