Allison - Maternity session

I did not fully understand what the ‘glow’ meant until i was pregnant with Jovie. People will often say “you have the glow!” and to that my friends, i say, how can we not?

Having life inside you is an experience that cannot be taken for granted. Only once do you feel them inside you, moving, being part of you.
For me it’s been two and half years since that experience but for Allison this is all new, and life awaits to be seen in just a few weeks. What a glorious day when you finally get to see your sweet bundle of Joy. To Allison and Jovanny , congratulations my friends! You won’t ever be prepared for what is to come, but you will always be prepared to Love.

Yet another indoor session on the blog! 

I love having friends from all cultures. I met Ilknur at a friends baby shower one day and completely fell in love with her kindness and personality. I hadn't seen her throughout her whole pregnancy and this week I went to say goodbye before I depart to Chile. Her son, Yusuf is already 3 months old! I hate to miss so many memories of people I wish I was closer to, but in the end I know I am privileged to live the life I do. Ilknur and her husband are from Turkey, she has a bachelor’s in early developmental education and is currently pursuing her master’s degree! She is a kind and gentle soul. She says that Yusuf makes her smile every day. She loves motherhood. We had a sweet time together in  which Ilknur and I just chatted, took some candid pictures and talked about our lives and family. It is incredible how similar we really are no matter where we come from. Enjoy this indoor session :)
