In the words of the mommy-to-be:

I decided to get maternity photos because it hit me that I would never be pregnant for the first time ever again. It’s such a special and unique time and at 9 months pregnant, I was already feeling nostalgic about it being over. Once I saw the photos, any anxiety I had about the pregnancy coming to an end lifted because this perfect moment in my life had been beautifully captured and I was able to get excited about the delivery and meeting our baby girl. -Claire
