One gorgeous pregnant beauty

So in my eyes I see that every pregnant mama is beautiful, which is why maternity is my favorite to shoot. Whether its their glow, their baby bump, their amazing hair (gotta love the vitamins from prenatals), their love for their unborn child, no matter what the specific reason is, they're all absolutely beautiful. Well everyone meet Cristal, she's the type of pregnant beauty that I envied when I was pregnant with my son. She has all the aspects of what makes a pregnant women beautiful. Usually when I put up sneak peeks on my Facebook page I put up 1-2 previews. Not with Cristal. I believe I put up 4, maybe 5? I just couldn't help myself.

Cristal messaged me shortly before we did her maternity session but she was afraid she may have waited too long to book her session. With moving some schedules around we were able to make it work! She first came to my studio to try on my collection of maternity gowns. Since she already has two boys and is pregnant with her 3rd boy, and me being a boy mom myself we decided to add some sort of girly factor so we decided on 3 gowns, white, pink, and lilac.

The day of the session was perfect! We decided to shoot at Northwest Community Park. Her two boys were all about her baby bump and her youngest loved poking her belly button instead of holding her tummy, lol! It was the cutest. After the kiddos retired I focused on Cristal and her husband Alex. They were another one of my amazingly cute couples together. A fair amount of the time the dads/husbands HATE pictures, my husband included (he tells me you get 3, make them good ones *insert eye roll*). Not Alex, he didn't mind them and it made the session flow easy. Smart man to for not upsetting his pregnant wife, lol!

We shot until late sundown and saved the pink dress for last. God must have known we were doing the pink dress toward the end because we were blessed with the most beautiful pink sky to match. Even the reflection on the pond turned the water pink. As far as what else to say about this session, I think the pictures say it all! Make sure to check out her gallery to see even more pics.

Thank you so much Cristal and Alex for choosing me be your maternity photographer, and to capture this special time in your life!
