Blessing Way!

If you haven't heard of a blessing way before it's a really neat concept! I wish that I would have done one of these in lieu of a baby shower. It's a small, intimate gathering for the mother-to-be, where is she is surrounded by women who love her. Rather than material gifts, she is given gifts of "prayer beads", massages, well-wishes and good vibes. This experience is ALL ABOUT MOMMY!... and of course there's the belly henna!

 If you are interested in Henna (not just for bumps!), my favorite vendor is Rising Sun Henna **note this is not her work in the photograph above.

Gorgeous Maternity Session - Winter Park, FL - Orlando Pregnancy Photography

This session and this family will always stand out to me. Their love for each other runs so deep. I love symbolism and doing things that are out of the ordinary. This mommy is planning a water birth. So, it's only natural that her maternity session is done in the water as well :-) and WOW did she have "that glow". The sweetest part of our session was her husband standing on the sidelines, gazing at her and telling her how beautiful she was.
