36-Week Maternity Portraits on Palm Beach

36-Week Maternity Portraits on Palm Beach

On March 2nd, 2019, Andrew and I finally got the chance to take our maternity portraits on Palm Beach! I was 36 weeks pregnant at the time and, aside from my swollen feet, it was still a great time to take our final maternity portraits! I was mainly thrilled that I still fit into this dress! It was the same one I wore for our 5-year anniversary portraits in Fort Myers when we were just 3 weeks pregnant but had no idea at the time! I thought it would be fun to take our last maternity photos in the same dress, this time on the east coast!

My sweet mom, Maritza, captured these photos for us, and they came out just great! My first photography teacher was my mom, and it's such a blessing to still be in front of her camera! Thank you so much for these stunning photos, mom!

We feel so blessed to be in the final stretch of this pregnancy! There were so many days I prayed to reach this point, growing a healthy, full-term baby. It's surreal still somedays that we are almost there! We’re thanking God daily for the biggest blessing soon to arrive!

Pregnancy Update

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant (38 tomorrow!!) and am now considered full-term! I can't believe we are in the final weeks! There have been many times this pregnancy has gone by extremely slowly, but it’s crazy to think I can potentially be holding my baby girl in a few weeks! We are beyond excited, and we truly cannot wait for this new season to begin!

Overall, I am doing great! Baby is healthy and growing! Aside from swollen feet, heartburn, nausea and random pains, I'm feeling good. Sleep hasn't been easy lately, but my energy has finally increased, and nesting is in full swing!Aside from a few house projects still left to finish, we are pretty much ready for baby! Her sweet bed is setup right next to my side of the bed, and I just can't wait to see her in it! Her clothes are washed, the hospital bag is pretty much packed, and the meal prepping has begun! We’re feeling good about where we are at, and if she were to come any day now, I would be good with it.Maternity leave is about to start! We will be taking a break from portrait sessions from mid-March until the end of May. We will be back to documenting weddings in the late Summer. Emailing will be limited over the next few months, but I plan to still check emails when possible. We are looking forward to this season of getting to know our new little one and have some quality time to recover. Thank you in advance for understanding!

Since this gorgeous pink tree in Worth Avenue was in full bloom, we decided to start with a few shots there! So glad we did! I love the luck I've had finding pink trees for my maternity sessions! :)

Then we headed to the North end of Palm Beach for some simple sunset beach maternity portraits! 

Funny story:

While we were taking these photos a couple approached us to congratulate us on our marriage! They asked, if we had just got married and I immediately said "Nope! Been married for quite a while now" as I smiles and tried to show off my bump even more! They then realized the bump and congratulated us on that!

I'm still shocked at how many people are surprised when I say I'm pregnant! Still till this day I've only been openly noticed as pregnant three times.

Palm Beach Family Christmas Portraits

On November 22nd, 2018, I had the pleasure of working with the Kern family capturing their Palm Beach family Christmas portraits! We captured portraits in some of Worth Avenue's most iconic spots in Palm Beach. We started along the eastern part of Worth Avenue capturing shots in the breezeways, with the Christmas tree, and with the Clock Tower! Then we worked our way to the beach, finishing our session with some classic beach portraits as the sun began to set!

Kern family, it was a pleasure meeting and working with you! May you enjoy this year's Christmas portraits for many years to come! I hope to work with you all again! Merry Christmas![line][line]
