This afternoon my lovely husband and I headed out in the sunshine to shoot a maternity portrait session. I absolutely love maternity portraits, and this session was extra special…. because the subject of all of the photos was ME!!

Yes, you read that right, and yes, that means I’m pregnant! But that’s not the end of the story, the other half is that I’m pregnant with TWINS! We’ve always known we wanted to have kids and we were completely overjoyed when we found out that we were going to be expecting a little one in November, but now that we know it’s two we feel doubly blessed At our most recent doctor’s appointment we found out via ultrasound that we are going to be having one boy and one girl, which means for all of you wondering out there that they are fraternal, not identical.

Having a due date in November means that I’m actually still in my second trimester, which is normally too early to do maternity photos, but since I have these TWO babies, my belly has made an appearance rather early I will definitely be doing some more “official” maternity photos with another photographer once I’m farther along and even bigger but for now here are a few shots that Ben took. I love my little belly

I will probably be making periodic baby/belly updates from now on, and I’ll definitely be posting my “official” maternity photos once I have them taken. I still don’t know who will be taking them yet, so any suggestion or volunteers are definitely welcome Picking a photographer is just one thing on our very long list of things to do to get ready for our babies!! I can’t wait to meet them!
