Pregnancy Pictures

As we were approaching the delivery date my wife decided that she wanted professional pictures of her being pregnant.  I thought it would be a complete waste of money and time after all I took pictures of her while she was pregnant and they are fine, but my wife wanted good artistic pictures taken by a professional photographer.  I started looking, searching the web for one in my area looking at the samples they posted on their websites, and I chose Elisha Rain at E.Rain Images.  Elisha was very nice and patient, never made us feel rushed.  She took some very nice pictures and didn't charge an arm & leg for them either.  I think the price for the package we got, that included both pregnancy pictures and baby pictures.  So we had 2 photo shoot sessions and Elisha was able to get the kind of pictures I am proud to hang on the wall. 

I didn't realize at the time my wife was pregnant how beautiful she was, to me pregnant women are not pretty, they are pregnant.  When we went to view the proofs last week and pick the 8x10's I saw for the first time how pretty my wife really was and as it turns out, I am very glad my wife wanted to have professional pictures taken.  Elisha was very patient working around my wife's rash and made sure none of the pictures showed it.  We got lucky and had the pictures taken just 2 days before Baby Dumpling was born.  Pictures really do matter and these really showed my wife's beauty in a way that I was not aware of.

I do recommend having a professional photographer like Elisha take pictures of your wife while she's pregnant because it's so easy to get wrapped up into the financial planning and the purchasing of baby items that you can miss one of the most basic, natural beauty of your pregnant wife.  You will notice it months after the fact, and you will be happy you did.
