the mcdonald family | arizona maternity photographer

I wish I could go back and relive the days I was first pregnant with micah.for one, I wouldn't convince myself that I did NOT have the flu the entire first trimester... ;)but mostly I'd love to rewind time just so I can remember the feel of him growing inside of me...that's a hard feeling to try and describe to someone...especially a man (sorry, boys.) ;)but that feeling of almost like having a secret...I could feel him move and roll over inside of me.I could feel him press against me on the inside.on the outside, well, THAT was whole other story that I do not care to relive...let's just say shamu and I shared a closet at one point. ;)no, that's not what I would want to relive...BUT.the secret of knowing that I was holding my son before my arms did, THAT I would like to repeat.and in getting to photograph this GORGEOUS woman on this most beautiful fall day up north,I got to smile often at her knowing she had her own "secret" growing a few more weeks inside of her...AND smile often at the crazy beauty that was anything BUT a secret to my lens.congratulations, jake + rachel! I CANNOT wait to meet Ms. Everly! :)
