Maternity photos are in.

Maternity photos are in and I'm in love with them. 

The other day I said to watch out for them and well they are up and are a huge hit.

This one has to be my fav, Kaili'a is actually smiling, you can see the baby bump really well, Joseph looks freaking handsome and I think I'm looking pretty good as well :-) 

Being a photographer myself, I always encourage women to get some kind of maternity photos done, you can dress your body in so many ways to flatter your belly. A tip I give is to get your photos done in your 7th to early 8th month, anything before that, you might be too small to really get a good shot and anything after that you can bank on being too swollen. The magic timing is between the 7th and 8th month.

Have fun with your photos to ease your mind, Kaili'a thought it was funny that mommy and daddy were showing their bellys (we tried getting her to do it but that just wasn't happening) so she smiled and it was an easy shot to get.

It was so much fun taking our maternity photos this time around because we had Kaili'a apart of them. It's crazy how different the feeling was this time was just having Kaili'a be in the photos with us and the belly. I was more excited to have Kaili'a be involved then I was to just take them.

I like to make sure to get just a photo of the hubby and I with the baby bump, it's a fun time to take photos as a couple and be invoked together. 

I have taught my brother and youngest sister to take photos so we were lucky that they were around to help us and to be able to take them while Kaili'a was napping during our couple photos. Gave us that extra little time to bond, it's crazy how doing a little mini couple photoshoot can just do wonders for a relationship :-) 

If you are pregnant I encourage you to get maternity photos done, I know it can feel like the most ridiculous time because let's face it, you're huge, but you'll cherish them so much in the long run. It's okay if you didn't do it with your precious babies, make it a family event and really take the time to find something that flatters the belly, and makes you feel beautiful. No matter what size you are, you are beautiful so embrace it and capture this amazing time in your life.
