Two words. ..SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL..

Check out this Mama-to-be. If there is such thing as a "pregnancy glow" she's definitely got it. I was never brave enough to have maternity pictures done of myself, but then again I never looked like this. I resembled something somewhat of a beached whale.
A large beached whale.
A large beached whale that was retaining a lot of water.
Pretty much that was my excuse when I was pregnant, I'm not fat... I'm just retaining a lot of water right now. I don't think people bought it, but at least it made me feel better.

On to more important stuff... like pictures,

The last three pictures are all very similar.
Same pose. Same belly. Different settings. Different crops.

I've been "stalking" your blog for a while. I LOVE your pictures. Thank you for posting the settings - that really helps. I took a photography class and the teacher told us Auto was always the best - HA! I'm learning that he was totally wrong - so I'm trying to get acquainted with all of the manual settings.
Anyway - thank you for sharing all of your wonderful pictures.

Another blog stalker de-lurking so I can tell you I especially love the last three photos with the symbolism of the pregnant belly surrounded by the ripe grain/grass.

They are all really good, but man those last three are to die for. I really love them. She must be so happy that you caught such perfect picture like those. That is the best. I remember the ones you took for me of my belly, and I love them, becuase KJ will always have those. YOu don't get that time back, so to have pictures like you take are priceless. Good job. Your the best.
