Bellies in December


The December air has a slight chill and as we near Christmas I find myself looking at a lot of images of bellies! Not just the jelly kind either. Not that Father Christmas is old hat but he ain't got nothing on Liz. I found myself reflecting on just how beautiful she was and how comfortable with her pregnancy. I feel so privileged to be able to work with such amazing women to create some really compelling work. Liz was so open to me and because of her candor, I got some really great raw shots, the kind that make me sit back and just say "Wow". These aren't your run of the mill white drape maternity shots and I am so glad we didn't follow that path. Here's to bellies bold and bountiful.
