Mom’s pregnancy cravings ::

Exercise! Up until about 30 weeks I was doing scaled versions of CrossFit workouts. Now we go on long walks with our dogs. Exercise makes me a happier person. Bagels with cream cheese, and anything I’m not allowed to have (sushi, turkey sandwiches, booze....)

The best part is feeling this little person learning and growing inside of you, it’s so surreal and intimate. The worst part for me was second trimester insomnia and now swollen ankles!

………………………………………………

favorite parts of our session ::

It was very relaxed and light hearted with music and laughing, which made being behind the camera easier.

words of wisdom you have for others preparing for their sessions ::

I was so nervous it was all going to feel posed and stiff but it’s so cozy and relaxed that it’s not an awkward experience.

your perfect Sunday ::

Sunshine, being outside, good food, music and friends/family.

What are you most excited for?

I am so excited to see what she looks like! Rob and I have very different complexions and features, so I’m so curious to see who she looks like when she’s finally here.
