Throughout my pregnancy, I've always known that I wanted to have a visual record of some sort.
Even now at 40 weeks and counting, I look in the mirror in amazement, so can't imagine being able to remember in years to come. Anyway, I was at the antenatal yoga class that Carolyn teaches, and she mentioned that she was a portrait photographer and was always on the lookout for people to photograph.
I went and saw her after the class and she took my details, called me later and we arranged to meet at her house a few days later. Brilliant!
I discussed my intentions that evening with my husband who after 9 months is used to my erratic hormones. Although I am not sure that he entirely understood, said it was entirely up to me if that's what I wanted to do.
I was definitely anxious at first, but Carolyn was wonderful at making me feel at ease in her home and after a very short while, I was wandering around her living room without a stitch on feeling like it was the most natural thing in the world.
She made me feel beautiful, amazing, strangely powerful and I am really looking forward to seeing the end result.
