Now that I’m older, many of my friends (and family too) have not only found themselves in relationships, but they have jumped head first into parenthood. It’s fascinating to watch the transition… seeing bodies change, lifestyles are flipped upside down, and sleep deprivation puts relationships to the test. But there is no question that those little bitty additions to the family are loved beyond measure, just one smile from that tiny face can make all your troubles disappear. I met Jessica through our mutual friend Agnes (of the awesome Love Lulu Mae) a couple of years ago, and was super excited for her when I found out she was expecting. She is ultra cute and creative, with an amazing collection of all things vintage (including a collection of cameras that would make any photographer drool), and I knew that “maternity” photos with her would be anything but cheesy. We only had a short window of time before the sun set, we hung up all the adorable outfits given to her from friends, she made us cupcakes, modeled some of her vintage aprons, and it was all quite perfect. No draped sheets, no naked bosoms, just a happy momma surrounded by all the lovely things waiting to welcome the new baby. Thank you Jessica for being the wonderful you, and I simply can’t wait to meet your little girl Scout!
A lot of wonderful baby clothes to wash…
Jess has a great collection of aprons…
Barefoot and pregnant!
Cupcakes?
Sometimes the size difference is shocking.
Eating for two…
When you’re pregnant it’s ok to lick off all the icing.
Jessica actually had a pet duck when she was little, so this book is extra special.
As big as a bear?
You’re going to be the awesomest mom!
