Melissa's Brave Bikini Maternity Shoot

I always love doing maternity sessions but this one was sooo much fun! Melissa had gone on a trip with her family to the lake and had seen some pictures of herself pregnant in her bikini, she thought they looked pretty cute.  So... she gave me her idea to do a session out at the lake in her bikini!! I was so excited to do something fun and different... most people don't want to be photographed in a bikini let alone pregnant.  She was brave and I was ready to capture the moment.  

When we got to the lake the wind was blowing like crazy and the water was cold.  Melissa is an awesome model though and she gave me so much to work with.  She is always so relaxed and care free when I photograph her, I think she really trusts me. 

One of the benefits of the wind was the way it created such amazing waves and how it played with her hair.
