Pregnancy
The Promotion
“‘I didn’t ask for this,’ said our very stubborn 2.5 year old. He had the same expression in every photo from the session.”

Too Soon
“This picture was taken very shortly after our son was born. My father-in-law wanted to capture the beautiful moment and get a nice family photo. But after over 24 hours of labor, this is what you get. My husband looks pretty rested though, so that’s cool.”

Call Waiting
“My sister was in hard labor for over 24 hours. I just found out she was getting ready to have a C section. So I was on the horn letting everyone know I was able to go in and watch.”

Got Her Goat
“One of our goats and I were both pregnant with twins and due the same week. I made her dress up and take maternity photos with me.”
The Delivery Room Selfie
“I had a medicated pregnancy and my husband dutifully took pictures the entire time. This is when they started to sew me up and apparently the most opportune time to take a selfie.”

Hockey Mom
“This is a photo of my mom, my brother, myself, and my soon to be born younger brother. I’m awkwardly in the hockey equipment on the bottom left. A family friend talked mom into having us all pose for this photo. It went on to win some sort of award in a Newport, RI photo show. It also hung in our house while I was growing up, which made for some awkward moments when friends came over.”

The Placeholder
“This was my parent’s pregnancy announcement in 1991 a couple months before my birth. My dad saved the cardboard outline and gave it to me before the birth of my first child.”

Hat Trick
“I had just had my third son in less than 4 years. My 2 year-old jumped up on the bed to meet the baby and onto my c-section incision and my 3 year old dropped his pants.”

Jam Session
“My brother-in-law had some *ahem* interesting ideas for pregnancy photos. This narrowly beat out the one of my sister’s stomach as a golf tee from her first pregnancy.”
