Maternity photo shoot

As the one who is frequently behind the camera doing the photo shoot, I don’t think I’ve ever been the subject of a planned photo shoot. (To read tales of my aversion to having a lens pointed at me, I point you back here and here.) However, I also love using photography to document my life, and since having a baby is kind of a big milestone type event in one’s life (kinda), when my friend Jessica offered to take some pregnancy pictures of Adam and me I said “yes.” I knew it might be a slightly painful and awkward experience, but I also knew I’d be grateful to have them one day.

Anyway, today I wanted to share my favorite shots and say thank you Jessica! I’m so glad you took these. You did a great job telling us what to do and making us feel non-awkward!

It turns out having your picture taken doesn’t hurt as much as I thought it would.

Whaddya know.

He builds! He organizes! He uses power tools!

Today I just have to say how amazing my husband has been throughout this whole moving and setting up house thing. I have about a million shots of him building furniture or putting things up on the wall.

Like this giganto mirror, which I had him hold in about a dozen positions (and variations: “a little to the left! a little higher! no, a little more to the right!”) before finally finding the right spot for it.

I love having an able-bodied man around.

Especially considering I’m feeling less than able-bodied right now . . .

. . . and especially especially considering that he’s also the most attractive manhuman I’ve ever laid eyes on.

And I can grab his butt whenever I want. (huge perk in my life. HUGE.)
