There are moments during pregnancy (probably when you’re doubled over with morning sickness or lower back pain) when you think, “Oh geez, seven more months of this?” In the throws of the moment, you feel like it’s going to last forever; however, hindsight eventually comes along and makes us think differently.

Pregnancy photography is a great way for us to slow down and savor the experience of growing another being inside our bellies. Whether its your first or your fifth, it’s a life changing experience. Hell, we’re sure even Michelle Dugger felt her 19th pregnancy was special.

Hello Mamas!

We’ve been waiting in eager anticipation the past couple months to share our exciting news with all our friends, fans and family…

This will be our founder Tamara Johnson’s second itty bitty one, and her first since she was inspired to start The Spoiled Mama skincare line.
