Maternity Photos

Although I’ve been mostly faithful about taking my weekly bump pictures, I wanted to get some professional photos taken of my husband and I during this phase of our lives! Most days I feel like this whole pregnancy thing is a really cool experience and I know that we won’t be just the two of us for much longer, so I wanted to capture that! (Plus how often do you get to take pictures without having to worry about sucking it in?!) Anyway, after doing some research it seems like 30-34 weeks is a pretty common time to get pictures taken (definitely pregnant, not so pregnant that you can’t move) and I was right at 30 weeks in these pictures.

We have a good friend in our small group from church who is a photographer, so she and her husband met us out at Arbor Hills, a local nature preserve to take the photos around sundown one day.  I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the way the pictures turned out!! Especially since I didn’t really take the time I should have to plan out our outfits! Alicia and I had talked previously and I had shown her some maternity photos that I had pinned on the ever-inspiring Pinterest, so we were on the same page of what I was looking for.  She is crazy talented, check out her website: Alicia Skinner Photography.  She will also be taking some photos of Baby Girl once she arrives, so I can’t wait to see how those turn out!

Anyway, on with the good stuff:

I wore two different outfits, the first is a regular outfit for me.  I’ve been loving the maxi skirt and jean jacket combo… comfortable and cute too!

This black dress has also been a staple for me during pregnancy, and I love the way the coral necklace adds a pop of color.  

But the real show stopper in these pictures are the flowers! How pretty are the wildflowers in Texas right now?!  You’d never know you were in the middle of a pretty big suburb in these photos!

I have a very sassy look on my face in this next picture, but I love the way it turned out!

We are so excited for this little girl to make her appearance, and I was so happy to get to capture this glimpse of time! Thanks Alicia for all the wonderful photos!!
