In case you're wondering, THIS is what the perfect pregnancy bump looks like.  If you'd like to see the complete opposite of this then, for the right amount of chocolate, I may be tempted to show you what I looked like at this stage (think 3 stone heavier).  

This is a friend of mine who is due to give birth in just a few days time and I'm SO happy she decided to book me for these shots, doesn't she look amazing?  She used to be a model which certainly helped in terms of posing, but model or not, I think all pregnant women look absolutely incredible. 

Having been pregnant myself I have such a huge amount of respect and admiration for pregnant women, it's certainly a tough 9 months let me tell you!  But rest assured that all the heartburn (I drank my way through a giant bottle of Gaviscon a week), swollen ankles, sickness, excessive weight gain, pelvic pain, sleepless nights, utter exhaustion and back ache, pales into insignificance when you hold your little baby in your arms for the very first time. I'm welling up just thinking about it.

I was going for a natural and relaxed vibe with this shoot which I think has come across perfectly, plus I'm delighted that lovely Lauren the dog makes an appearance too.  The house was a great location for a photography session with beautiful light and interesting textures.  One of my favourite shots is the silhouette by the beautiful Edwardian front door, stunning.

I'm gradually building my maternity portfolio and will be launching a new gallery on my website shortly, so watch this space.
