While I was in La Jolla with my parents and sister, we found the dreamiest little cove where my sister shot some maternity swim photos for me! I was nearing the end of the 5th month of my pregnancy when we shot these and I am now about 25 weeks pregnant. I love how these photos turned out and I felt beautiful while showing off my baby bump! It has been truly astonishing watching my belly grow, especially in the second trimester where it’s really started growing rapidly. The first trimester I felt like I just look bloated lol but now it’s quite obvious I’m pregnant. What our bodies can do to grow a baby is so incredible.

I feel very blessed to be able to be pregnant especially because I know so many women struggle with infertility. That was always a worry of mine before getting pregnant because I had just turned 30 when we finally started trying and I was definitely starting to feel like my window was starting to shrink (even though I know 30 is still young lol). Some of that was definitely outside pressure, but it also felt like I had already been waiting a long time because I have always wanted to be a mom and I wasn’t going to be happy until that dream was realized. I know that I am so fortunate and how heartbreaking it would have been if that wasn’t possible for me. My heart goes out to anyone going through a hard time on the road to becoming a mama!

I can’t believe that in about 3 months my baby boy will be here! I’m so glad that I’ve been able to take a lot of photos to document and remember this pregnancy. I know I will cherish these photos in the future. I hope that I’ve inspired some of you to go out and embrace your pregnant body whether it’s in a swimsuit photoshoot or something simple at home. Pregnancy is beautiful and we should celebrate it!
