I have been feeling particularly inspired and creative lately, and started planning a maternity shoot in my head.
If only I knew of a pregnant model....oh wait... MY SISTER!
My gorgeous sister, Jesse, isn't necessarily the type to care about getting dolled up and posing for photos ( she is a horse girl, and when she isn't at work, she is in her barn or on a horse), but when I asked her if she'd be willing to be my model one evening, she said sure!
She showed up fresh out of the shower, with her gorgeous natural curls, and literally no makeup ( clearly this is her first baby and she has yet to be blessed with eye bags), threw on a dress and a hat and stepped out my back gate to shine like the goddess she is, in the most amazing light!
After shooting mainly my children, it was such a treat to have a stunning woman, to stand still, and let me bring my vision to life!
It was so fun, having some sister time, and helping my sister to feel as beautiful as she really is!
Pregnancy is not always (or ever) as glamorous as it looks, so I think it was a nice for her to actually get to celebrate and embrace her growing belly!
The best part about having a pregnant sister, (aside from being blessed with a sweet baby niece soon) is all the newborn photos I will soon be able to capture and share!!!
Thank you for being my model Jess!!!
