The Grace of the New Mother | Portrait Photography

Just days before the birth of her first daughter, my dear friend Jen invited me into her home (which she shares with husband Darius, two sweet cats, and Wheaten Terrier Sita) to capture the intimacy and grace of her pregnancy.

We spent a couple hours together, capturing the sweet details of her nursery, adorable candid pet portraits, and the pure love that emanates from Jen and Darius.

These photos also appear on my website.

Hi, I'm Amelia! It's nice to meet you.

I'm a writer, minimalist, tiny home dweller, and maker living in East Tennessee, USA. You might have found me through the Ladies of Steemit curation initiative, showcasing the female voices on the Steemit platform. Each week, I post on a smattering of topics, but mainly about women, herbalism + tea, fun facts and challenges, and my Curie curation journals. Every other week, I share my experience through the Steemit Beginner's Series. I'm also known to throw down a mean five-minute freewrite once in a while. To learn more about me, check out my introduction post, get up-to-date on my school bus tiny house conversion, and get to know me a little bit more!
