Greetings Beloveds!
As you may already know I'm sharing highlights of my amazing pregnancy to motherhood journey! It's been three weeks since I gave birth to our beautiful baby girl Empress!!
One of the heartwarming memory includes having a glorious photo shoot with the talented Heidi of Heidi Marie Photography! Heidi is very passionate about her artistry and she selected Arlington Garden as the location to capture the images. She suggested I look at Pinterest for some ideas and I saw a couple of photos that I liked, however I already had some ideas in mind for the photos featuring myself, hubby and baby in womb. Heidi scouted the beautiful Arlington Garden for the location. After I reviewed the photos, I agreed the garden would serve as the perfect backdrop.
After the date was confirmed, I spoke with my favorite designer Afua Sam, owner of Global Fashion House Studio D'Maxsi about how excited I was about my upcoming photo shoot and she offered to to sponsor my outfits. In fact she shipped about ten outfits including gowns for me to choose from. I was so humbled by her generosity! Before I received the clothing Afua already mentioned which pieces she thought would work best. Upon trying on her immaculate outfits (Afua was right), I selected two flowing gowns-- an ivory gown and a pink gown. Both had accompanying shawls.
The image making day had arrived and hubby and I were excited. The day was extremely hot so we were glad the photo shoot would take place at 4pm. Heidi and her husband Mark were very accommodating. We first took pictures sitting down which evolved into a myriad of pictures in the garden, on the grass, the atrium, laying down and even near a cactus! Husband had a great idea of taking photos of us looking off into the sunset as if we were an elderly married could reflecting on our years of marriage.
As a bonus, Heidi gave us cards to write our wishes for Empress to tie on the wishing tree. The moment was very heartfelt! And as a double bonus baby Empress let me get through the photo shoot without any cravings for food. All throughout my pregnancy, I've had food cravings every hour on the hour, however I think baby Empress wanted me to get through the photo shoot because she was enjoying her modeling time. I had a vision of her posing in my womb. And as soon as we finished the photo shoot, packed our clothing in the car, the food cravings had begun! I was right, Empress held off eating until the photo shoot was over, the character of a supermodel in the making! Until we connect again...
Be loving, be natural, be empowered!
