I know the weather we are currently receiving is probably seasonal but it has been nippy over the past couple of days.  I guess I became spoiled with the unusually warm temperatures we were experiencing and today as I was longing for the warmer temperatures it hit me that I had not yet shared a story with you that I came across in the winter.  I want to share this story because it is such an important one, I have a 2 and 1/2 year old daughter and this story made my heart ache.  So with the warm summer months soon upon us, my wish for you is that as you enjoy the warm summer days that you will keep little Ava in the back of your mind so that her story never becomes yours.

Can a woman be pregnant and sexy?

Demi Moore posed nude and pregnant for the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991, at the time this cover sparked controversy for Vanity Fair and for Demi.  It was widely discussed on television, radio and in the news that Annie’s Leibovitz’ shot portrayed Demi as a sex symbol and at that time it was unfathomable for a woman to be pregnant and still be sexy.

Thankfully, that cover resonated with women everywhere as they saw the beauty and strength in the image and today women everywhere are able to celebrate the pregnant form and see its beauty, strength and sensuality.

Personally, I love the form of a pregnant woman and find that when a woman is able to professionally capture this moment, it allows you to see yourself in a different light.  Something happens in every woman that I photograph when they look back at the photographs of their pregnancy.  Many times my clients did not see the sheer beauty in the pregnant body but they are able to appreciate it and see its beauty at a time when their body does not feel beautiful.

Today practically every celebrity gets offered a magazine cover when she is pregnant and it is seen as a way to celebrate a natural part of life.

So, what are your thoughts? How do you feel about celebrities posing pregnant on the cover of magazines?  Do you feel it could be empowering to pose pregnant and nude?

Looking forward to reading your thoughts as always.

Celebrating life and love,

It should be a crime to be this cute!

I must say that when I met this scrumptious little one; he had my heart from the moment I laid eyes on him.  Wyatt is a deep thinker and curious little guy but once you get him to smile, it is a smile that will melt hearts… he sure melted my heart.

Take a peek and let me know what you think.

Celebrating love and life
