Pretty as a picture

There is something about maternity photography that I just love.  There is something so beautiful about a woman and a family waiting for a new arrival.  When I was pregnant with my first I couldn't wait to take maternity pictures.  To capture those special moments before meeting Nathan.

I found a photographer in Clermont and had my session scheduled for 36 weeks.  Then Nathan decided to throw a curve ball and show up before I ever got to take any pictures.  I did have my monthly belly shots, but nothing like I had imagined.

Then I got pregnant with Noah and all I dreamed about was those perfect maternity pictures.

We have an amazing friend, Kim who is also an amazing photographer.  She and her husband were also expatriated in Clermont but moved back to South Carolina in June.  I was lucky enough to have her take pictures of Nathan when he was only 7 months old.  That is why when I found out she would be back in France during the month of December, I begged her to do a maternity session for me.

I was ecstatic when she said yes, and was even more ecstatic that I was still pregnant when the time came to have the photo session!

She did an amazing job, and I have to admit that I almost cried when I received the beautiful CD with the pictures.  It is exactly what I had in mind and it captured so wonderfully our *almost* family of four.

I can't thank Kim enough for capturing these special moments in my family's life.  (All photos courtesy and copyrights of Kimberly Cabe Photography)

I was not compensated at all for this post, I just love Kim and her work.  If you are looking for a photographer in Upstate South Carolina be sure to check her out here or on Facebook.
