Maternity Photo Shoot

I know Gerrit is nearly 2 months old, but I just recently got the flash drive with all the photos from our maternity photo shoot. We did a maternity/newborn combo, so I had to wait until we got the newborn photos done to get all the photos back.

I love our maternity photos! I knew we would be getting really amazing photos from Amanda with FootSteps Photography, but I was still so impressed when I saw them for the first time. When we saw the slideshow for the first time, I started crying. I was sleep-deprived and dealing with postpartum depression, but seeing how happy we were while expecting our first baby reminded me of how amazing pregnancy was.

I really wanted fall colors in our photos, but it was still pretty warm at the end of September when we had these photos done. Amanda did such a great job finding some color and using the light to give an autumnal glow.

I was at the very end of my 32nd week of pregnancy here. I thought I had at least 7 weeks to go, but Gerrit was born exactly a month later!

This next one is probably my favorite from the maternity session! I can’t wait to have it framed and hanging in our new home.
