Joy – What a gorgeous Mama! Lovely images!

Shardai – Beautiful mama I love the second pic. I was always conflicted about taking professional maternity pics because I’m a somewhat conservative person and I just wouldn’t be so bold as to take some of the pics I had seen when this phenomenon first appeared. The idea of showing my belly petrified me. But seeing these elegant mamas, especially this last one. I am definitely going to consider this for my second pregnancy.

Crystal – Where did you find the alphabet blocks? I am looking all over trying to find cute ones??

Dawn – Crystal ~ these were a gift to my son for his first birthday back in 1999 so I have absolutely no clue where to tell you they came from! Good luck searching for some similar ones!!

Susan Costa – Love your photographs. Is the green and white Damask backdrop fabroc or a backdrop. I love it.

Dawn – Hi Susan, It’s a lovely fabric that I found years ago. I think they make backgrounds now with a similar pattern. Thanks for your comment!
