Hello lovely,

So nice of you to be stopping by. I am so grateful for you and the time you are devoting to read this and/or watch the beautiful pictures.

This time I am sharing with you the incredible results of a fashion-pregnancy photo shoot I had with the amazing Dorota from Dorann Photography.

Dorota chose Johnston Gardens as the place for the shoot and I was so happy with this choice.

The whole experience was incredible, she made me feel very relaxed. I get pretty awkward when being photographed by others and that feeling disappeared after first few minutes.

I am so happy and emotional looking at those pictures. They will forever remain an incredible memory. The fact that we are reaching our 10th wedding anniversary with my husband this year and this is exactly the place where our wedding pictures were taken adds to the magic of the whole experience.

I wanted to wear something that is me, something colourful, because you know what a colour freak I am, and because this is our rainbow baby.

I was hoping that my gratefulness for being in the blessed state will be seen in the pictures and I see it, thanks to Dorota… but I also wanted to show a piece of me, of who I am as a mother but also as a woman. I wanted to show my beautiful growing bump but also parts of me that I love and appreciate. I always talk to you about how you should love yourself and I need to do that for myself too. Every day in an opportunity to remind ourselves of that and today is the day ;))

We have been super blessed in Aberdeen over the past month of so with the gorgeous sunny weather and I have been loving wearing all sorts of dresses. I have also been changing multiple times a day. My husband always laughs that I change 3-4 times every day and I say that I see no issue if I am home and able to do so. I have always loved playing dress up and I now live a life where I can do that for a living… . I also feel that being pregnant adds to that. I mean, most of you pregnant ladies out there will probably be able to relate to the discomfort of itchy skin, sweating, swelling and other totally normal but not always easy to deal with aspects of pregnancy. Back when I was pregnant with Beno, working at the check-in after I grounded myself from flying, I was extremely uncomfortable for weeks, having to wear a uniform, tights right over my bump and sit for hours… .

Now I couldn’t be more excited to channel my inner self and enjoy the outfits I love.

On those pictures I wanted to show versatility of one dress.  I put together few options: one quite formal option (with the red dress over the yellow one, or the black one, through a date with husband kind of an option (short dress on it’s own) to a picnic version. While looking back at last few weeks and now those pictures I realised that this post also represents who I am and can be in one single day 😉

I hope it will inspire you to wear whatever it is you feel like wearing when off work (if you wear a uniform at work like I used to) or at work if you lucky enough to be your own boss. Remember to fall in love with parts of you that need it and have some fun. When I say fall in love with, I don’t mean those obviously beautiful parts. I can now officially say I love my feet. Couple of years ago I’d ask Dorota not to photograph my feet up close, now I am simply grateful to have feet that take me places and allow me to wear incredibly beautiful shoes.

Thank you so much Dorota for the day of the shoot and for capturing what I didn’t imagine was possible.
