i had wanted to get some maternity pictures done just to have the memories of this special time preserved, but when i started to research photographers, it is sooo expensive to have these done. i had hoped to have my sister do some of these, but we hadn't all been in the same place since thanksgiving, at which point i was barely showing. so, i found a 3rd year student at uva who has a photography business, and it was the perfect fit. she was so sweet, had a great price, and took wonderful pictures. i would highly recommend her if you're looking to get some pictures done in cville that are very good quality without forking over a huge chunk of change! (happy to pass along contact info if needed :) ) it was really special to have these pictures done in cville as well, since we have so many great memories and milestones in our relationship there. can't wait to print some out for my yearly photo updates around our house (i try to go in and replace some of our photos usually once a year, leaving the older pictures behind the new ones to see how things are changing).
here are some of my favorites from the shoot! hard to believe the next time we're in cville, we'll be introducing our baby to one of our favorite places in the world :)
and here's a picture from the bball game, where ironically my belly looks like a basketball :)
