I admire people that choose to go the old fashion way and wait for the baby to be born and the doctor to announce if it’s a boy or a girl… there’s something really sweet about that :)

Tiffany was such a pleasure to work with :)
Look how perfectly round her belly is!

Can’t wait to meet little Preston… With such a beautiful mom he will be one gorgeous baby!

On a side note, I must confess that this first maternity session since I had my baby brought back a few memories. I wouldn’t trade my little guy for anything in the world but every once in a while I miss having him all to myself… Now I have to share with others.

Some images I never got around to post before. It’s a mix from different maternity portrait sessions… I have many more waiting to be edited and maybe some day I will update the bellies section on my website as well!

Why so dressy?

Why not? :)

We are very proud parents-to-be.
By the way, bets are open: will our baby BOY be brown-eyed like myself or rather blue-eyed and blond like daddy? Leave a comment, let me know what you think!

Impressive enough, Markino still fits in the wedding suit! The tie is just the latest crazy one I got him.

Something a little more casual.

All pictures of me are self-portraits and the bump you are seeing is an almost 31weeks pregnant belly (rockin’ the 8th month right now). 9 weeks to go before the baby is here…

Why self-portraits? I hate being photographed by other people. May sound crazy, but I am totally uncomfortable in front of the camera when somebody else is behind it. It’s a little harder and time-consuming but I’ve found that self-portraits are the way to go.

29 weeks down as of today. Only 11 more to go until my due date!
(for those who don’t speak “pregnancy week language”, I am 7 months pregnant and there is a little over 2 months to go)

And here we are, a family portrait:

Nothing special, I just decided to turn on one light, put the camera on the tripod and jump in front of it. The lighting I chose hides my tired face and almost gone makeup. It was the end of a tiring day… but the baby and I are doing great otherwise!

I’m still knocked up, and will be for about 15 more weeks…

Here are the most recent pictures of my bump, casual shots taken on a Saturday afternoon (thanks to my very efficient assistant/husband that took them).

Our guy (yes, it’s a baby BOY), is growing really fast and we just can’t wait until he gets here. Markino and I couldn’t possibly any more excited. The fact that the nursery is almost ready makes the anticipation even worse. And who will this baby look like? I’m SO curious…

As my energy lessens so will the amount of time I can spend updating this blog. I will continue to shoot up until late July and have already booked a few limited sessions for late August (a big challenge, since my due date is on August 7) but I will, technically, be on maternity leave for a couple of months after the baby. At least until we all get into a somehow ‘regular’ schedule pattern.

Wish me good luck… :)
