6. Take A Milk Bath

The pregnancy glow. You hear about it all the time. I think “glow” is a perfect way to describe @ceciliakissel. She glows in not only pregnancy but also in motherhood. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph her and her littles. It’s evident that she is fulfilling her purpose on this earth by investing in her family. So grateful for all the amazing, glowing mamas I have the opportunity to work with. 🙏🏼💕🌟

Mi mayor admiración a los padres venezolanos, tener todos los roles en estas circunstancias, luchar por nuestras familias, trabajar, crear, avanzar y todo mientras sostenemos. – Esto es de valientes, de héroes, de grandes. – Dios los bendiga ❤️, Dios nos bendiga. – Información al correo [email protected] #amor #venezuela #family #familia #familiaunida #padres #madrevenezolana #pregnancy #maternity #maternidad#maternityphotography #pregnancyphoto

18. Be Spontaneous

Sometimes things happen that don’t always go according to plan. Just enjoy the moment and make the most of it before you’ll be holding your little bubba in your arms.

Now this maternity shoot was a bit different from my norm. I have always shot outdoor maternity shoots during the daylight hours and that was my plan. We wanted that golden light of a sunset but we ended up with grey clouds and rain showers. The sun was gone. However, this wonderful couple chose the option to continue, so we brought the light! Book your maternity shoot and let's get creative!
