Pregnancy brings upon changes that can sometimes make a woman feel as tho she is a lesser version of herself. Less sexy. Less beautiful. Less fun.

When you aren’t feeling quite yourself, it is hard to remember that there is an artful beauty in you that goes far beyond the pregnancy glow and the baby bump. The form of your body becomes a breathtaking piece of art, a miraculous process of strength and life. Through the journey of pregnancy, your body is constantly changing in order to create and sustain life. Your body has the superhuman ability to do something that many of ours cannot. Now let’s be real, when pregnant, are incubating a human invader who can make you hungry, sick, and tired, so it is understandable that you don’t feel like your best self, but remember the beauty that comes with it all!

Taylor’s body and her perfectly round eight-month pregnant belly were absolutely gorgeous during her maternity boudoir session in the studio. Even though pregnancy can be a scary and vulnerable time for women, this first-time mom-to-be was relishing in her new body as it prepared the way for her son, Karsyn. She was eight months pregnant when she came to visit me in the studio for the first time, and since then, I have had the honor of photographing her birth story and baby Karsyn’s newborn portraits. Getting to following Taylor and Levi’s love story as they became parents to little Karsyn was such a special time for MWP!

Now, over three months later, Taylor is inspiring me on the daily with her workouts, her unicorn shakes, her rock hard abs, and her glowing smile. She has worked so hard to get her body back to a healthy place after pregnancy and I commend her for all the hard work she has put in! If you need a boost of inspiration with real-life photos and suggestions, head on over and follow Taylor!
