Maternity Photos {PinkBlush Giveaway}

This post was created in collaboration with PinkBlush. I received items in exchange for my honest opinion. 

 

There is something so beautiful about maternity photos to me. I love documenting the pregnancy in this special way and having these photos to look back on.

Pregnancy is an incredible blessing that I don’t take for granted. I know there are many that long for the aches and pains, the joys and kicks, and everything in between. The miraculous concept of this baby growing within and my body providing everything it needs to prepare for the outside world is remarkable.

 

 

 

Even in the moments that I find myself wishing we were closer to the end, I don’t want to forget the moments in the middle. This beautiful process of life growing and preparing for us to meet him on the outside.

I collaborated with PinkBlush for these beautiful photos with the perfect look for maternity this spring. They have the perfect line of maternity dresses that can offer an elegant touch to the maternity photos and it was just what I was looking for. I feel in love with this gown and it couldn’t have completed the look for these photos any better.

 

 

I had a vision and my incredible photographer was able to capture that and bring it to life. With this beautiful maternity dress from PinkBlush the pictures that we have from the shoot are absolutely gorgeous. Not only do they capture this beautiful moment in pregnancy, they capture my family along side of it. It’s a moment in family history, a piece of our puzzle, that I will forever cherish.

It was so hard to choose just a few to share with you, but I managed to narrow it down some.

 

 

I also went through their line of cute maternity clothes to find something to offer a more casual and laid back angle to some of our photos. Every baby we have had some photos taken in home as well, and they have been some of my most treasured photos. PinkBlush had beautiful kimonos that made this look possible.

I couldn’t be happier with these photos and I know I will treasure them.

 

 

I have partnered with PinkBlush to give one of you a $75 Gift Card to PinkBlush. I will be kicking this giveaway off on Instagram tonight at 5PM CST! So be sure to head over there and enter.

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
