Let me tell you a story...
Eight years ago, after many months of hoping, I was finally pregnant.
My husband and I had decided that I would stay home full time to raise our daughter,
which meant foregoing my nursing income and living without luxuries.
Trying to be frugal and practical, I decided professional maternity pictures were an indulgence we could do without.
We were planning on two children, so my next pregnancy, I told myself,
I would have professional pictures taken.
It turned out to be my only pregnancy.
All I have to look back on from that glorious chapter in our lives
are cell phone shots in front of a mirror.
I saved money, but I lost something of much greater value.
So I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad you're not making the choice I made.
Even if you don't choose me as your photographer,
don't let the priceless stories in your life go untold.

The best picture I have
of myself pregnant.
