Family {Valerie's Baby Bump}

“When you moved, I felt squeezed with a wild infatuation and protectiveness. 

We are one.

Nothing, not even death, can change that.” 

― Suzanne Finnamore

I knew that Val was pregnant when I bumped into her a few months ago at the mall. Like the others, I felt happy excited at the news. A little person for Val, one of the sweetest people I know. She would make a perfect mother and already pregnancy is doing so many good things to her body. There's a certain calm, a certain ease in how she moves despite the baby bump.It could be because Val has  this naturally easy disposition but I am sure that having a baby has made her even more beautiful, if that is possible. 

I am always curious about what happens to a woman when she has a baby, and for every pregnant friend that I have, I always have the same questions: do you get tired more often, mood swings, do you have cravings? Standard questions perhaps, but they give different answers, which is fascinating to me. I often wonder what will happen to me if I have a baby but that's a story for another day(and another blog post!) entirely! For now, here are a few frames from our short bump love shoot.
