Something I really wanted to do during my pregnancy was to capture my baby bump growth each month with a photo, that way I would be able to see/look back on my full pregnancy transformation. It definitely wasn’t easy to do some months, especially as I grew more and more exhausted but I’m so glad I made it happen. The transformation of pregnancy is truly incredible, beautiful, and empowering. I know I will cherish these photos for years to come and maybe baby boy will love seeing them someday too!

The first 5 months were captured while I was living with the father of my baby and his dad. We unfortunately had to part ways due to his mental health issues during the 6th month of my pregnancy so the last 4 photos were captured at my parent’s house in Phoenix were I am currently living which is why the background is a little different. I was a little disappointed/worried I wouldn’t like the photos in the end because of this but I’m so glad I continued taking them regardless of the situation because you never know, this could be my only pregnancy and I might have really regretted it if I hadn’t. My partner of 10 years, the father of my baby has now gotten help which I am so thankful for. I don’t know what the future holds, for now I am focusing on a safe delivery (I am still pregnant as I am writing this) and getting the hang of being a new mom on my own.

I hope these photos and my pregnancy transformation is inspiring to all the momma’s out there! Celebrate yourselves and your motherhood as much as you can. It is truly beautiful!
