Every now and then I feel so privileged to do what I do. Photographing Marisa and Jorge was one of those times… and the photos show it!

In fact, it wasn’t even Marisa’s idea to do a maternity photo shoot – it was Jorge’s idea. He convinced her to come for the preggie shoot and you could just see how proud he was of her and their baby-to-be…..

He made her feel so beautiful when I was photographing her and was completely at ease behind the camera himself.

You could see he was in love and loving this part of his life. You could feel the love between them and their unborn baby and it was an absolute pleasure to photograph!

That’s what I love about my job – I have always loved maternity photoshoots but to photograph a couple that is so in love is just a cherry on the top!

Every photoshoot is unique! That’s what I love about photography…. No matter how many maternity photoshoots I do, I find that each pregnant woman is beautiful in her own unique way and expresses herself differently too…

It’s such fun getting to meet new people and I love having the opportunity to find ways to express their personality in a photograph!

This is a photograph of an incredibly beautiful woman – 36 weeks pregnant – who is keeping the sex of her unborn baby a surprise…

Is it a boy or is it a girl? What will they name their beautiful baby? Will the baby come early? or go past it’s due date? All these exciting questions form part of the story…

And one day, when we look back at this photograph, all of these questions will have been answered.

But then there will be a whole new set of questions – what will this beautiful child grow up to be and do? Will they have children of their own? And will they have photographs as beautiful as these? Of course they will….
