From Bellies to Babies
has been a small window of time in my life.
My babies are 6 and almost 4 (going on 15).
As a mother, I do have a small regret.
I deeply wish that I had a professional photographer
capture my belly {maternity photography}
and that I also had the precious moments of our
first quiet, yet sleepless days spent
at home with my tiny babies.
My excuses seem silly to me now,
but at the time of my pregnancy with Mason,
I had braces, was on and off bed rest,
and was working full time.
Both times my image of what pregnancy
should look like stood
in the way of capturing this moment.
My pregnancy with Madeline seemed to go by
within the blink of an eye,
as I was chasing a small toddler around.
As mothers, we are often the figures behind
the camera and not the one’s in the picture.
If I could bestow one small piece of advice
to a new mommy, I would say that this part
life is very important.
The smell and the time I still recollect,
but the pictures of my little family together during
my pregnancies and the first days… I can’t get back.
Luckily, I do know of a wonderful photographer.
{Candace Rock Photography}
She happened to feel the same way as I do.
She has turned her passion into a career
of photographing these exact moments so that they
can be part of your memory keeping.
Here are some of the lovely families she has captured.
These photographs are stunning and are a wonderful
representation of motherhood.
Candace has the talent of catching the right
light and feeling of these moments.
I truly believe that being a mother has
helped her instinct in shooting
the emotions and love that her clients
will treasure as their family milestones.
I am hopeful that a new mommy will toss aside
the lack of time and or body image issues of the moment
and enjoy being the beautiful mama in front of the camera.
As the years pass it will not be a
regret but a happy memory.

photo sessions and snap shots of her
adventures in motherhood.
