The Best Mother's Day Gift | New York City Maternity Photographer
Pregnancy… it’s so hard to believe our bodies are capable of doing such an extraordinary thing. It is CREATING LIFE. What an incredibly amazing life altering experience. When you’re pregnant, you may feel amazing and glory or you may feel blah, tired and “over it.” However you are feeling, however you *think* you look, I urge you to try to stay in the moment and own it! You are incredible, your body is incredible and you look beautiful. Really. You will never regret documenting this time of your life.
So in honor of Mother’s Day I am sharing a few of my favorite maternity images and sending a big shout out to all the moms out there:
To the new moms who wistfully recall the days when they could shower with the bathroom door closed, but still recognize with a deep urgency that you’re living smack-dab in the middle of “the good old days…
To the moms who have spent the last year juggling zoom school and work from home…
To the someday-moms who are still waiting for their turn…
To the women who are having an extra tough Mother’s Day this year because it’s the first one since. Or it’s the tenth one since and you thought it would be easier by now…
To the mamas who feel like they’re drowning to the ones who have it all together…
To the mothers whose children live far away, the ones whose are sleeping in the other room, and the ones whose babies seem to never ever sleep…
I see you. Happy Mother’s Day!
