EDITORIAL STYLE MATERNITY SESSION
As seen in Issue 15 of Mother Muse™
“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow. ”
Our bodies go through the most incredible transformation in pregnancy and a maternity portrait should celebrate this beautiful change. From one day to the next, your babe is earthside and it’s hard to believe that you carried their perfect little life inside of you.
Last week, stunning thirty-seven week pregnant mama, Sasha, welcomed me into her home. While her tiny human was having a claustrophobic dance party inside, we turned up the stereo and breathed in these few moments of zen before the whirlwind of motherhood begins for this lovely lady.
When Sasha pulled the lilac pantsuit out of her closet, I instantly knew it would be my favourite look from the entire day. I think at some point in every woman’s pregnancy, we get treated as if we’re incapacitated. And while some days the nausea alone might make us feel like that’s true, the reality is, a healthy pregnancy is in no way disabling. We certainly don’t need to withdraw from what we love doing and just wait it out!
Four looks - an oat milk latte - two more looks - and I was off to get the film from our session developed. We had so much fun and I can’t wait to meet her sweet little one!
