Ann Marie, Maternity

This was my first maternity session since having a baby of my own.  I have a greater appreciation of what it's like to be pregnant.  I like to think that I know what the mother feels like as she is carrying her precious cargo.  I like to think that I kinda know what feels flattering and what photographs I would burn if I ever saw them in print of my own pregnant body.  But I also know what it's like to want to capture this special time.  It's only been four months since I've been pregnant and I already can't remember what that time was like.  It's hard to believe that I already forgot what it felt like to be pregnant for nine months! (I guess that's good news to a lot of women out there!)  But I also treasure my own maternity photos so much!  In fact, it was just the other day that I looked up from the THOUSANDS of photos I already have of my son, and went back to my own maternity photos.  I framed a few and sadly remembered that special time.  Of course, now I have a son and he is so much fun to play with, but I miss my "buddy" who I carried with me everywhere.  I miss feeling him moving around and yes, I even miss his jabs into my ribs.  Oh dear... I sound like I may be ready for another one?!?! 
Anyways, this is Ann Marie.  She is BEAUTIFUL and was SO much fun to work with! I mean, I think we could all dream of looking like Ann Marie at nine months!  I am so excited to meet her beautiful girl in just a few weeks!
