My Maternity Photos Personal Project (Part 1)- Boulder Maternity Photographer

As a photographer-a pregnant photographer-I decided that I absolutely MUST do a personal photography project on my own pregnancy. This is my third pregnancy and I am THRILLED. It is a boy!!! I had my other two children at home, in Boulder, and so we did not find out the sex until much later. But now they can tell if you are having a boy or girl at 10 weeks! It is phenomenal! He is super healthy and active and kicking! I get to have monthly ultrasounds at Boulder Community Hospital because I am considered "geriatric" at 38 years old. Omg. Really?


It was MUCH easier to do my own maternity photography in the beginning, when I was full of energy and everything was sweet and cute and it was easy to get around.


Here I am at 15 weeks. You really can't even tell that I am pregnant yet (though of course *I* could tell, this being by 3rd baby and all. I set my camera up on auto and took pictures of myself in Boulder Creek just behind my house (LOVE where I live!!!).






And then we found an awesome hippie bus behind my house and I grabbed my monopod and camera and took these images at 17 weeks pregnant (still can not tell these are maternity! I am on the thin side bc of an autoimmune illness):




And then at 18 weeks pregnant I took the girls outside and set up all the camera settings and told them where to stand and we got these GORGEOUS maternity photos, just on the side of a construction site in Boulder.


Arg, for some reason my harddrive is NOT reading my photos so I will have to come back to this post because I absolutely must get up the info about my fall mini photography sessions (at Wonderland lake and Ncar in Boulder).

Keep a lookout for:

Maternity Self Portraits, Part 2, Coming later this week when my hard drive issues are figured out! Because I have done some really BEAUTIFUL maternity photos since then-especially because I am now 27 weeks pregnant and have a REAL belly to photograph!
