When Det and Darrel were expecting their first born (Adam), we were exploring the idea of doing a maternity shoot. Though portrait photography (in whatever form) always intimidated me and something I reluctantly ventured into unless it involved children or unknowing strangers (that sounds a bit creepy and little more like stalking), I was excited with the prospect. It’s not everyday that one of my closest friends was going to be a new mom and I’d get the opportunity to document a fragment of that journey. And it was probably a good time to learn something new. But for a dozen or so reasons, it never materialized.

Six years later and a second pregnancy, I finally got to shoot Det on her sixth month. This was something we were eagerly anticipating since she announced last November that they were having baby number two. We just had to wait for her baby bump to be more visible.
