A weeks back (May 18th, actually) I did a maternity photo shoot with an amateur photographer. I found her on craigslist offering a free session and took her up on it. My mother was convinced I was driving out to a serial killers house where they were going to cut me open and steal my baby... Cliff wasn't thrilled with the idea either (especially when I got there and told him it was in the middle of nowhere-all the better to hide my body, he said) but I gave him all the information I had and called him before and after so he wouldn't worry. Just for the record, if I had not seen this persons work for several weeks (if not months) in a row (meaning if it WAS a serial killer they had been doing it totally undetected for a good long while now and probably deserved another victim if they really were that good) and well constructed web site I probably wouldn't have gone either... but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, I got there and spent an hour with her taking almost 100 pictures with her. Out of my gas and time I was able to walk away with a CD of about 5 pictures that I really liked creating a nice record of my belly. Not bad for free. This blog is my excuse to carry my camera around with me and take pictures like a tourist in my home town. This is also my way of staying positive and remembering the good things when I'm feeling buried under the mountain of straw. And finally, this is also where I may go from time to time to vent.

Maternity Photos Round 1
