One reason I'm so booked for fall is that I'm taking a fairly limited number of clients until mid-November. Our second baby is arriving via c-section on Monday, and I want to recover from her birth before I start chasing other kids around!

In the meantime, I finally got a few pictures of myself with this bump.

Some maternity photo tips:

* Schedule for a time of day when you feel your best

* 32-46 weeks seems to be a cute but not "I feel like I'm going to topple" bump

* Wear makeup, an outfit you love, look great

I ignored all of my own tips when Jessica was over to have her grab a few photos of me expecting Caroline. Ellie insisted in participating.

So here's me lately.... a bump-free version will be ready to get back out there and capture your memories in late October! And if you are rocking a bump this fall or winter, I have a few special maternity slots available!
