**Please note, this session does contain partial and full nude images**

Aletha called me from the Cape last week in a little bit of a panic because the photographer she was going to use was unable to shoot her maternity portraits as scheduled.  Turns out, she was 38 weeks pregnant and very eager to get some photos done.  I had some room in my schedule so I said sure – and boy am I glad that I did!!!  To do the session, we decided to shoot on her parents’ 25 acre farm out in Foster very early Saturday morning.  I admit – it’s a part of the state I had never been to.  But it was STUNNING.  Fields, stone walls her father built by hand, horse paddocks, a barn (with horses!), trees, woods, just gorgeous.  (And there were more areas I didn’t even get to see!)  We traipsed all over the place and at 39 weeks she absolutely ROCKED the shoot.  One of the things she was most interested in was definitely showing her beautiful, glowing belly.  So being in the middle of nowhere on her parents farm, we did just that.  Many clients won’t bare a lot of skin during their sessions, or if they do, they don’t want it blogged.   I hope and hope that they will see these photos and reconsider.  Pregnant women are just positively glowing and one of the most beautiful things in the world (says the woman who’s been pregnant three times 😉 )  So without further ado since it’s possible she is in labor literally right this minute…
