Beautiful Baby Belly. | Moncton Baby Photographer

I must be honest. Pregnancy photos are something that challenge me. I'm an "in your element" type of photographer. I'm able to set up a posed shot when needed, but most happy when you are just being you. I've tried and succeeded at the totally posed & draped bare bellies paying homage to Demi Moore's famous pregnancy photo, that appeared in Vanity Fair so many years ago. I succeeded, but it never felt quite right.

When Beth asked me to "get some pics before she popped" I agreed, (did I have a choice? She's my sister) and told her they were not going to be my norm, we were going outside, so pick a nice night! And she did.

So neat to look back at these, after so many months now knowing and have met the little boy that was in these pictures. Will was born on April 29th... 8 days after we took these photos.

Anna loved hugging Mommas belly, and at just over a year old seemed to understand on her level that something big was to come from this belly.

The belly baby. Beautiful.

All of these photos were taken to take advantage of the beautiful sunset that was happening in the orchard that night. I didn't realize it at the time, but this was really my first session in my studio...

A natural beauty, the baby belly just bumped it up a little
