The Pregnancy Photo Shoot

Photo: Jill Hardy Photography"Ever since Demi Moore made headlines 20 years ago by posing pregnant and in the buff on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, the pregnancy photo shoot has become a rite of passage for many moms-to-be." 

That's how I started an article about prenatal photography that I wrote for The Toronto Star this past Wednesday. 

I interviewed Chilliwack, B.C. photographer Kim Mallory, Summerside, P.E.I., photographer Jill Hardy, mother of four Carin Bondar, and New Jersey photographer Alexa Garbarino, author of Ripe (a gorgeous photo book of pregnancy nude photography).

Note: The article includes an online photo gallery so you can check out the gorgeous images produced by these very talented photographers.

Forget Feel-Good Stories. This One Was Is A Feel-Great Story. (Or At Least It Was For Me.)

There are days when I just love my job. Being able to research and write stories like this one (about the families touched by Helping Hearts and the photographers who donate their time to this creative and life-changing project) left me feeling totally inspired. I hope that reading the story will have the same impact on you.
