our little life: Maternity Photos


My dear friend Zuzanna Audette with art + mary photography took some maternity photos for me a couple of months ago. She did such a fantastic job! And believe me, that is due completely to her skills and talent, because I've got to be one of the most awkward models ever. :) Anyways, I'm so happy with how they turned out. It'll be so nice to have these as a record of the time when Ingrid was growing and forming inside of me. I wish I had photos like this of my mom when she was pregnant with me.

Thanks so much, Zu! 





I love that she convinced Kirk to be in some of the photos, too. She really put him at ease in front of the camera. Not an easy feat -- believe me.


Ingrid is due to arrive this coming Sunday, so the countdown is on! We moved this past weekend into our new live/work space, and I think she almost decided to come out right in the middle of all the action. That would not have been very good timing. It seemed like every time I bent over or walked a bit too briskly, I'd have a contraction... Luckily, I've been able to take it easier yesterday and today. I really want to hold out until Sunday, because my midwife is out of town until then. Wish me luck!

p.s. See more maternity photos (along with baby, bridal, pet, fashion, and more) over at art + mary.

Very beautiful & sweet! Oh, you must be so curious and feeling 'expecting' all the time.. Can't wait to read your announcement here!

PS My word verification is 'cocon', which is the Dutch word for 'cocoon'... Pretty accurate for your situation, isn't it? ;) (and mine, I'm already living in a bit of a cocoon myself, though I still have 7 weeks to go!)
