We are heading to the beach today to take our third set of maternity pictures.\u00a0 Like most American couples, we decided with our first pregnancy to commemorate my pregnancy with professional pictures.\u00a0 I found a photographer who had a great package deal (5 shoots for not too much including some prints and digital files).\u00a0 We met her early one Saturday morning at a beach we\u2019d never been too.\u00a0 We took many of the clich\u00e9 maternity pictures with baby blocks and booties, but what we ended up really loving were the simple ones of hubby and I just being together.\u00a0 I also tried some dancing pictures but my balance was off since I hadn\u2019t been taking class (the sand didn\u2019t help either) and the photographer didn\u2019t know how to be ready to capture the moment.<\/p>\n

When we were expecting Sugarplum we decided to do another shoot.\u00a0 As we were in Dublin at the time, I enquired to my friends and found out that one of our own (a dad that often attended our weekly playgroup) was a professional photographer. \u00a0We decided to stick with the beach theme and were lucky to have a beautiful, dry day (rare in Ireland!) to head to a quiet beach and take our pictures. \u00a0This time though we really just wanted to focus on the family as a whole and the baby bump as a part of that family, no cheesy maternity pictures.\u00a0 We got some great family pictures and even better pictures of sweet little Honeybun.

I hope our latest shoot will be as magical as the last one.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to\u00a0 pictures of the family (we haven\u2019t done any since Easter two years ago) and also getting a few of the special moments of the girls\u2019 unconditional love they\u2019re already showing for this baby. \u00a0I’m also hoping to try some dancing again and since I’ve been taking class regularly I’m hoping I can make it happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
