Pregnancy and motherhood are beautiful things, and there are many photographers out there who specialize in capturing these special times in people's lives. But what happens when photographers get pregnant? Well, in Sophie Starzenski's case, she wound up with a series of warm mirror selfies intimately documenting her pregnancy.
This maternity photography idea is beautiful in its simplicity. Sophie took the same portrait in profile in front of a mirror once for every month of her growing baby bump. The beautiful photo at the end of the series features an image with her 2-month-old son Simon.
The maternity photo series is captivating for its simplicity, honesty, intimacy, and vulnerability. It's not every pregnant mommy-to-be that would be willing to bare all to the world in a maternity photoshoot as Starzenski has. However, she's not the only photographer to document a growing pregnancy bump and becoming a mom. Patrice Laroche documented his wife's pregnancy as well, although it looks like their pregnancy was radically different.
