Pregnancy Photos: Surviving Baby Brain

You’re pregnant. Congratulations! What a beautiful time of your life. Few things are better. I wish you all the joy in the world, and it would be a privilege for me to help you capture this time of your life with professional pregnancy photos.

Yes, you can snap a bazillion selfies. Yes, you can get family and friends to click away. However, professional pregnancy pictures are a sure way to immortalise the sheer beauty and wonder of this time in your life. Plus, it serves as evidence. In the thick fog of mind created by “baby brain”, you now have a verified witness to the event and the pregnancy pictures to prove it  😀

You’ve no doubt heard the recent news report: Baby brain is real.

Duh! Like us women needed science to confirm that, what I used to call “porridge brain”, does “indeed exist”?

“The general cognitive functioning, memory and executive functioning performance of pregnant women is significantly lower than in non-pregnant women, both overall and particularly during the third trimester,” the Deacon University researchers concluded.

Thank you, Deacon et al. Much appreciated.

So, there you have it. There are many reasons to get professional pregnancy photos, but you can add another one to the list: proof of event. You know, just in case you can’t actually remember if you were pregnant  😉

Thus, a little thought and planning is required. Here are two images that captured the essence of these two beautiful mums-to-be.

Simply beautiful.

To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman, and distressingly inhabited. Soul and spirit are stretched—along with body—making pregnancy a time of transition, growth, and profound beginnings.” (Anne Christian Buchanan).
