Sessions like Lauran’s are such an inspiration for me. When she got to my studio she was not feeling great about herself. She was so worried about her dress not fitting correctly, her hair looking too flat, and weight she has gained in areas she’s not happy with. And you know what? As a fellow momma that just hurt my heart! I caught myself wondering how she couldn’t see how truly beautiful she is, and I remembered… pregnancy is HARD for some women. Don’t get me wrong, pregnancy can be an absolute breeze and make women feel like they’re the most beautiful thing on earth. But for the mommas that struggle to feel that way and have a hard time watching their bodies change and grow to accommodate a growing baby, it can be tough.

As an outsider looking in, all I saw in Lauran was a beautiful mother grow a most precious baby girl. (Isn’t it amazing what a woman’s body can do?? I mean we literally grow an entire human being in less than a year!) And I was determined to help her see and feel just how stunning she really is.

By the end of her session I knew I had met my goal. She was laughing, being herself, and just having an over all great time. I was so happy that she went from nervous and worried to feeling confident and glowing in less than an hour.

When she messaged me after her session to thank me for helping her feel beautiful, I knew she was going to be so happy and feel even better when she saw her prints on my reveal wall a week later, and I was so right! She ended up clearing the entire wall and taking all of her folios home that day.
