Learning how to embrace your pregnant body can be a challenge for many women. Pregnancy is a time full of emotions accompanied by an ever-changing body. With all the busyness of preparing for the baby’s arrival, with doctor’s appointments and shopping lists, taking time to pause and appreciate the beauty of what your body is accomplishing can often be overlooked.

“It was meant to be!”
“We are expecting our first child, a little girl in October this year. We are so excited and extremely nervous! My journey to get here was a long road, but I couldn’t be happier with the place I am at this moment in my life. I moved to Boston 11 years ago after going through a terrible breakup. My cousin, who is 9 years older, told me to get out of my small town and start fresh. That exact moment led me to where I am today. Moving to a city forced me out of my comfort zone, to meet new people, and eventually go back to school to become a nurse.
I met my husband 7 years ago and that changed my perception of relationships all together. He is a kind and true partner in life. I lost my dad suddenly very early in our relationship which was one of the most challenging life events I have ever been through. He stood by me and guided me through my grief. I know my husband was placed in my life at the right time. Although my dad didn’t get a chance to meet my husband, he has shown me signs that he approves.”
“I wanted to embrace my body and all the changes.”
“I have been following Lindsay’s work for over two years. I was looking to do a Boudoir session for a wedding gift for my husband but never made the jump. I saw that Lindsay was looking for a model for a maternity session and jumped on the opportunity. My pregnancy hasn’t been the easiest. We went through challenges with infertility leading us to IVF. In my second trimester, I had a lot of emotional and mental difficulties.
So when this opportunity popped up I felt like it was meant to be. I was in a place in my pregnancy where I wanted to embrace my body and all the changes and challenges I’ve gone through to get to this point. After speaking with Lindsay, I knew this opportunity was meant to be. She was going to be able to help me really embrace my body at this stage in my pregnancy. I was most excited about being pampered and allowing Lindsay’s creativity to take over using me as her music for her talent.”
“I truly felt like this experience was all about me.”
“Leading up to the shoot I was a bit nervous. I thought about how I had really not thought of doing this type of maternity shoot. I initially planned to do something a little more reserved and wondered if I made the right choice. As soon as I stepped through the door and felt Lindsay’s and Michelle’s energy and excitement, I immediately got SO excited. The studio is beautiful and sexy. I began to picture how fun it was going to be during the session. The hair and make-up were awesome! Lindsay, Michelle, and I chatted. It was a comfortable conversation like we had known each other a long time. The little looks I got of myself while in the hair and make-up chair continued to grow my excitement. I truly felt like this experience was ALL about me.”
“I couldn’t believe what I saw.”
“My favorite part of my Spark Session was how excited Lindsay was behind the camera. She would show me little peaks and I couldn’t believe what I saw. Of course, the final moment of seeing all my pictures was incredible. I thought, “Wow, that’s REALLY me!!!”
“I’m learning to embrace the beauty of a woman’s body.”
“This experience helped me realize that my body is incredible. Seeing myself in make-up and the beautiful silks helped me see that I am growing a human!! I need to embrace the beauty of a woman’s body, especially when going through the pregnancy process.
My favorite photos were the ones with the blue silks. I had thought I wanted light and bright photos but those photos with the silks spoke to me. The dark background and the beauty of my bump with the fabric flowing over is just beautiful.”
“I definitely recommend a Spark Experience with Lindsay Hite and Show Your Spark. I think more women need to take the leap to do something like this. My advice would be to DO IT. Don’t think about it. Just make the leap and do it. You will not regret it!!”
