Maternity and Aliyah

A friend of mine took some maternity pictures for me this evening. It is SO weird being in front of the camera and it's even worse since I'm pregnant. I just feel so fat. We got some good pictures but notice the ones that I am posting do not include my face ;) These were my favorite as I quickly scanned through all of them. We might do some more in a couple weeks if I'm still preggo since I'm only 36 weeks now.

I just love this one of Aliyah hugging and kissing my belly. She always walks up to me and hugs my belly just like this and she'll say "I'm hugging my baby sister, Mommy." Awwww!!!




My friend has a building where she has all her photography stuff and she had a couple different set ups so I took advantage and took some of Aliyah while we were there. She wanted her picture taken but wanted to do her own thing. The Belle dress is my friend's little girls. Aliyah just loves wearing it!

Aliyah did not want to look at me so I just kept taking pictures anyway and I ended up with this. I actually LOVE it!


It's funny how she has her hands up by her face in this one but I love it for some reason. Maybe it's the sweet face hiding behind those hands ;) Notice the fake turtle on her belly. She wouldn't put it down anywhere else.

1. Your belly is GREAT and I love that she's "into" it.
2. That shot of her in her Belle dress is gorgeous-I like that she's not looking, really fits the mood of the photo. Wonder how it would look vintage?

You look so amazing, and your DD's photos look so fairy tailish (which I love).

Those photos of Aliyah are darling! Her expression in the second shot is soo cute; you can almost hear a giggle. I really like the one of her giving her sister a hug, too.

Oh I love the tenderness of that first shot and I love the 2nd one also. She is a little ham but I love her looking away in that belle dress it fits really well. I want props like that... Lucky friend you have.

Love that first shot of her hugging the baby. Too adorable. That set-up your friend has for photography looks incredible. I love your last shot, too! She has the cutest expression and pose!

I've never met a pregnant woman who liked the way her face looked at the end, so I won't yell at you for only showing your beautiful belly. :-) I like that Aliyah is looking down in the Belle shot; it adds to the fairytale look.
