embrace your beauty
Your body is the most beautiful it has ever been. Even if you don't feel it now, trust me, you will when this time has been long since passed. You will want to look back on this moment in time, and view the proof of your strength, and the elegance of your powerful journey.
THIS is YOUR time, and whether or not you are ready, it is coming to an end pretty soon. The work you are doing right now is the hardest work humans can face, and you do it because you are amazing. Maternity portraits are more than just something that you "should do", it's something you MUST do. It's documentation, proof that you are strong, capable, and worth admiration. You MUST be celebrated, because you are doing something that no man can replicate.
