while im excited for what’s to come, i’ve found pregnancy painful and depressing. when my therapist first suggested doing a maternity shoot as a way to manufacture the joy i felt i lacked, i dreaded the idea.

i let go of what i thought it was ‘supposed’ to look like (a benign portrait of domesticity) and allowed myself to imagine what i wanted it to be (bush out). doing this shoot felt like coming out of hibernation after these long, brooding months.

tysm to talented and creative photographer @boy_michi @michaeloharaphoto for bringing this to life.
