I was delighted to meet Alaina, her very impressive bump and her lovely Mum who drove them over to La Pulente for her Pregnancy Photography in Jersey.  Alaina had bought a couple of dresses with her to show her off her wonderful bump. We stuck to the sandy, grassy area which overlooked the bay and the high tide.   What a stunning location with the sand dunes in the background, bronzed bracken, golden sand and rugged grasses.   This area has a special place in Alaina’s heart so it was the perfect location for many reasons.  Plus, we really lucked in with the continuation of an Indian summer and a sensational sunset – so lucky.

When I was pregnant, quite a few years ago now, I don’t think I’d even heard of pregnancy shoots and all I have to remember the precious time of being pregnant and loving my bump, was a rather unflattering Mothercare spotted dress!  Thankfully things have moved on now and besides being an absolute privilege,  it’s an amazing thing to be able to capture such an incredible time in a woman’s life.

Being that Alaina was in the final week of her pregnancy and feeling pretty uncomfortable, I just wanted her to take in the views and breath in the sea air and I took care of placing her in the best light.  And WHAT light!  Oh my goodness, we so lucked in with the most beautiful golden sunshine and sunset.  Of course with the magnificent Jersey scenery, we are exceptionally lucky.  Alaina looked like a goddess – elegant with an almost ethereal look. I know you might not have felt it in your last week of pregnancy, but  I hope you’re able to look back see how beautiful you are.

Thank you so much Alaina for entrusting me to photograph such a significant part of your life.  You were a dream to photograph! xx
