  • Quiet Saturday and I'm about halfway through this book. I am absolutely loving it! So especially thankful for the natural birth stories told by advanced maternal aged mamas. They've given me hope that I have a chance at a natural birth, even at age 40. 🙏🏻 Thank you for the recommendation, @_lorenjackson_! #documentingbabypeterson

  • Couldn’t let the week go by without posting my official 35 week bump photo that Jay took of me earlier this week. I've been feeling well so no complaints here as I get closer and closer to my due date. I will say that my ankles are a bit swollen but they're not terrible. I've been trying to keep my feet up throughout the day here and there and that has helped. No itchy belly for the past couple of days so that's been great and a nice break from the discomfort I'd been having for a few weeks. The nursery finally has new floors and fresh paint! Our next project is installing and filling up the the closet organizer while we wait for the furniture to come in so we can decorate. My hospital bag is finally packed, too, so things are falling into place around here. Looking forward to our 36 week ultrasound on Monday! Also, my due date is exactly one month from yesterday! So we’re officially less than a month away from meeting our sweet babe. 💕 #babypetersonbumpdates #documentingbabypeterson

  • Here is a recap of Ellie's newborn session in my studio last month. Ellie was two weeks old here and looking like a perfect little newborn! The newborn stage is SO short and newborns change incredibly quickly; so glad we were able to capture her as tiny as this. Also, I love this color palette! So delicate and girly. 😍 Get a closer look at this newborn session on my blog today at the link in bio! #idaliaphotographynewborns

  • Last night at prenatal yoga I was the furthest along out of everyone there 35 weeks. Just like that. It feels like just yesterday that I took my first class at just 18 weeks and I was the furthest away from my due date out of everyone there. This pregnancy has just flown by these last few weeks. I’m so thankful for all the time Jay and I have been able to spend together as we get ready for our lives to change completely. He’s been on winter break from the college where he teaches so we’re enjoying a full month of being attached at the hip doing all the things. We’ve been focusing on chipping away at Olivia’s nursery, running all the errands, cleaning, organizing, editing our last two weddings of 2018, wrapping up remaining album designs, and watching The Crown on Netflix before bed every night. It’s a simple yet wonderful life these days and I’m loving every minute. Dress from @mamabumprentals #documentingbabypeterson #idaliaphotographymaternity

  • Anna. It's hard to believe I photographed her almost two years ago and she's about to become a big sister! I'm so bummed I had to pass up her baby sister's newborn session because her mama is due just one day before me! So sad about missing out on seeing this family again but so excited for Anna’s soon-to-be family of four! #idaliaphotographynewborns

  • Eugene. 12lbs. 😮 I wanted to pinch his cheeks all morning long! I still can’t believe he weighed 12 lbs. at birth. Makes me wonder how big Olivia will be. Doc says I’m measuring right where I should be but hasn’t given me an approximate weight yet. Hoping to find out at my ultrasound next week. Everyone seems to think I’m going to have a big baby but I’m hoping Olivia takes after me so it’s not too hard. 🙏🏼 I was 7 lbs. 6 oz. so not too big. Jay was adopted from Korea and we have no idea how much he weighed. How big was your baby and were you surprised at the weight? P.S. Thank you all for your advice on my post yesterday! Loved reading through all your comments! 💕

  • Two things I'm loving these days: 1️⃣ My Promptly Journal! If you're also expecting and haven't heard of @promptlyjournals you have to check them out! It's a childhood history journal, a place for us to document our little one from her time in the womb all the way until she turns 18. The beginning overlaps a bit with my Expecting You pregnancy journal but just for a short while. I love that it has monthly prompts for every month until baby turns a year old and then yearly prompts for every year after that. 2️⃣ Charlotte the dog from @cuddleandkind. I had my eye on this gorgeous doll for Olivia's monthly pics project and wouldn't you know that one of our sweet couples gifted it to us, not knowing I had been eyeing it already! I love that for every doll purchased, @cuddleandkind provides 10 meals to children in need. Thank you, @iamkenesha_h #documentingbabypeterson

  • Week 34 and my belly is so pointy this week! Olivia has been exploring some new positions the last couple of days and moving like crazy. Last night I even had a lopsided belly for a few minutes. She's been head down for several weeks now but it seemed like she was exploring transverse yesterday. Luckily, she did not seem to like it and went back to head down after a short while. Fingers crossed she stays that way! I had my 34 week checkup on Monday and everything continues to look good. Less than six weeks and my weekly bump growth project will be turning into a weekly baby growth project. Eeeeek I can't wait! #babypetersonbumpdates #documentingbabypeterson

  • Happy New Year! So excited to welcome 2019 and be so close to welcoming our little girl, too. The anticipation of knowing this will be our best year yet is so wonderful and it’s hard to believe that our daughter will be here soon! I can’t wait to begin our next adventure and become parents to this little human growing inside of me. 💕 Business-wise, I’m looking forward to continuing to photograph newborns mostly from April to November. We have another busy year of weddings so my plan for this year will be to limit myself to 25 newborns. Definitely reach out if you’re expecting and would like to reserve a spot! (April is already fully booked for newborns.) 👼🏻 I’ll also be expanding my studio later this spring and offering a limited number of milestone sessions to my current and past clients as well as to my 2019 newborns. I’ll be posting more about this soon!

  • Week 33 and baby is as big as a pineapple! 🍍😯 • Until this week, I’ve felt like I’ve been cruising through this pregnancy but lately I feel like I’m starting to slow down. I’ve felt soooo pregnant these last several days. I get out of breath quickly, I’ve started to get back aches, I have to constantly empty my squished bladder, I’ve been getting Braxton Hicks more often, and I’ve been having lots of night sweats. I’m not complaining because I’m so very thankful to be where I am but I definitely feel like I’ve turned a corner and I’m nearing the finish line. Not gonna lie, I’m getting a little nervous! • Baby has been moving a ton!! I think she’s running out of room in there. She feels so big! • On Sunday we had our childbirth and Lamaze class at the hospital and it was so informative. We’re so glad we went because we learned a ton and got to ask all of our questions. Every single one of them. 🙄 • We finally started the nursery. Phase 1 is to empty out the room. We currently use that room as a dressing room so we’ve been relocating things and getting rid of things we don’t need. Next week is Phase 2: new floors and fresh paint! We can’t wait to see it come together! #babypetersonbumpdates #documentingbabypeterson

  • Every Christmas since 2015 I hoped we might be pregnant. Our wait was long but now here we are and I can’t believe we are 33 weeks pregnant and just 7 weeks away from having our little girl in our arms. 👏🏻 It’s hard to believe that we’ll get to share this magical season with our little one next year just like my past newborn clients who I’ve been able to document in the exact same way I dream of having my own family documented some day. ❤️ On our last Christmas Eve before baby we are wrapping gifts and then mass and dinner with Jay’s family. Tomorrow is for spending it with our nieces and nephew who can’t wait to be big cousins to Olivia. So thankful for everything we have this year and for what’s to come. 🎄 Swipe left for a peek at my Christmas Tree Farm Mini-Sessions from this year. I was so happy to see so many of my past newborn clients again and they got me so excited for our own Christmas as a family of three next year! Wishing you all so much hope, love, health, and joy! Merry Christmas Eve!

I've loved getting to know her (and daddy, too!) and I'm already looking forward to our Olivia meeting up with Ellie for play dates!

  • Little Blake, what a sleepyhead. I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy last December and I still hadn't shared any of his images! To say I'm behind on sharing babies would be an understatement. It's just so hard to keep up! I'm looking forward to spending some of my off-season re-visiting old work and catching up on sharing babies that never made it into my feed. Until Olivia comes. Because once she gets here I'll probably be oversharing photos of her. 💞 Shot during a coaching session with @buffalobabyphotography | Backdrop by @freebird_shoppe

  • Getting ready for my last newborn session of the year! So bittersweet! Today I get to capture a sweet little girl as my second to last newborn before maternity leave. After her I’ve got a little boy left to photograph (the little brother of a past client who is also the son of a past bride and groom! 💙) and after that it’s no more shooting for me until Olivia makes her appearance! Another sign that I’m getting close to meeting our babe! If I’m feeling ok I’m hoping to get a few shots of our girl when she gets here but I’m leaving most of the “work” to the newborn photographer that we booked. Gosh, I can hardly wait! #idaliaphotographynewborns

  • Inspiration for a travel-themed baby shower invite. 💞 Love the custom design that our friend @krousdietlein made for our baby shower. Paired with calligraphy by @theshadedmaple, it was the prettiest invitation suite! And those envelope liners: 😍 Sometime soon I'll have to blog a recap of my baby shower to show off the work produced by my talented creative friends. They did such an amazing job and deserve all the credit! 🤗 Thank you to @bogathevents for the wonderful idea of using a fabric map as an accent piece. 👏🏻 #documentingbabypeterson

  • Handsome little Clayton. 💙 He had slept all morning on the day of his session so he didn’t want to sleep much when he got to my studio but he finally dozed off for a few minutes and I squeezed in as many shots as I could while he was out. I was so happy that he let me get him into this perfect tushie-up pose that I love. Simple, timeless images are always my faves. 💕#idaliaphotographynewborns

  • Week 32 and Olivia is as big as a jicama, whatever that is! Apparently somewhere between a coconut and a pineapple. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She's probably about 4 lbs. already so she's getting there! I'm hoping for a 6-7 lb. baby. Tops. 🙏🏼 But I also don't want her to come early because our house is nowhere near ready (we're in the middle of 1 of 2 bathroom renos and we're not starting the nursery until next week 😯). Of course I have no control over when she wants to make her appearance so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for everything to go smoothly! 👌🏻 On Monday I went to my 32 week checkup and baby was still head down and measuring perfectly so she is doing great! I've now progressed from doctor’s appointments every 2 weeks instead of every 4 so it really feels like I'm getting close now!! 👏🏻 I've still got an itchy belly but it's not getting worse so I'm not complaining. Less than 8 weeks until my due date and I still can't believe I'm going to be a mama! So thankful! 🤗#documentingbabypeterson #babypetersonbumpdates

Tops. 🙏🏼 But I also don't want her to come early because our house is nowhere near ready (we're in the middle of 1 of 2 bathroom renos and we're not starting the nursery until next week 😯). Of course I have no control over when she wants to make her appearance so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for everything to go smoothly! 👌🏻 On Monday I went to my 32 week checkup and baby was still head down and measuring perfectly so she is doing great! I've now progressed from doctor’s appointments every 2 weeks instead of every 4 so it really feels like I'm getting close now!! 👏🏻 I've still got an itchy belly but it's not getting worse so I'm not complaining. Less than 8 weeks until my due date and I still can't believe I'm going to be a mama! So thankful! 🤗#documentingbabypeterson #babypetersonbumpdates
