Today I photographed a pre-birth acupuncture session. If you are like me and have never heard of such a thing, what pre-birth acupuncture does is help to increase the likelihood of delivering on the due date, reduces the time of labor, and substantially reduces the need for interventions and Cesarean sections.
Today’s session was done at SD Fertility Acupuncture and they specialize in fertility and pregnancy acupuncture. Being infertile myself I found the whole thing completely fascinating.
One of the things I learned was that certain points on the body are known to help the cervix soften and dilate and others aid in helping the ligaments relax and loosen for the easy passage of the baby.
Be sure to check out their website for more interesting facts.

My good friend Ingrid is 30 weeks pregnant with her 4th child she has 3 wonderful little boys and is pregnant with her first girl! I AM SOOOO HAPPY FOR HER!! From the first day I found out she was pregnant I had planned on taking her maternity photos. This is a shot from yesterday’s “session” and I say “session” because this photo was taken as a collaboration of many awesome photographers ideas who were also there shooting on this day. she was so good to us! Looking at this picture totally brings a smile to my face. I had no idea she was going to jump!!! LOOK AT THAT AIR!
Anyways, The light was failing, my focus was off, and my ISO was high…Her face is a little blurry but even with all of that this has to be one of my favorite maternity shots I have done so far, thats what happens when you get 5 photographers together! She still has at least 8 weeks left so there will be LOADS more shots to come. I love you my friend!!
