<span class="drop_cap">I</span> love these black and white maternity portraits. They're so classic, and I like how they're a little different from my usual style (since we used a backdrop) and yet they still very much have my style, especially the moments between the two of them. 

It's refreshing when people embrace the beauty of pregnancy rather than hiding from cameras because they feel big. And can it really get any more beautiful than this? I have several favorites, and they're constantly changing every time I go through the session, but I think the very bottom left one on this post is at the top of the list. 

After we took these, we went outside for some more fun and colorful shots. Some of those will be coming up in Part II!

During her pregnancy, S has had a lot of cravings for Sweettarts so I thought it would be fun to incorporate them into our session.
