At this stage in my pregnancy, I was roughly 24 weeks pregnant. According to my very informative app 'BabyCentre', our little sprog was about 30cm at this point - the same length as a corn on the cob! What's also interesting is that at this point, my uterus was the size of a football! I think it's truly amazing to look back and see how much my bump has grown, and how quickly too. It's funny looking back and thinking "wow, I'm huge" - and then seeing how big I am now. Compared to how big my bump is now, this is a tiny bump!
I'm so happy with how these photos came out, especially as I captured and edited them myself. (Using my Canon 500D). I knew early on in my pregnancy I wanted to have some photos taken of my bump as I'm sure I won't be looking like this for a long while! Unfortunately Ole wasn't around for these photos but we've agreed we'll take some more nearer the end of my pregnancy so we can compare the differences!
I set up my tripod, pulled down my white blackout blind - which also works brilliantly as a photography screen, and after a while of trial and error, finally found the perfect position for my camera and the best position for me to stand/sit. At first I didn't really have an idea of what sort of poses to recreate, but the more photos I took, the more comfortable I became.
After taking these shots it made me realise that I could take photographs for other women in the future, as well as photos of newborns, babies and children. I got a really good response from the people I shared my photos with, and this has given me the confidence to make specialising in this sort of photography a possibility. It would also work around having a newborn myself, and it's fun, rewarding and wouldn't ever seem like a chore.
In other news, I am due to go abroad to Turkey in 4 weeks time so I am very excited about that! I'm going with my mum, her boyfriend and my three brothers. It's great timing as Ole will be going away to Magaluf with his friends at the same time. I can't wait to properly relax in the sunshine for 10 days, whilst getting a tan! I shall write a new post all about it once I'm home!
