Disney Pregnancy Style: Polynesian Resort Maternity Photo Shoot + Lilly Pulitzer

Hey friends! Happy Friday! I've been waiting to share the AMAZING photos my girl Alexis too during my maternity photo shoot (which she oh-so-graciously offered as a baby shower gift). She's a friend first, a fellow mommy, a sunshiny happy soul, and a gifted photographer. She does all kinds of lifestyle photos at really affordable options, and you should absolutely reach out to her when you're visiting Walt Disney World to capture your memories. Just a few ideas that come to mind, that I think would be so fun to have documented in pictures...

Sisters/Girls Getaway
Bachelor/Bachelorette Weekend
Wedding
Family Trip/Reunion
Maternity/Birth Announcement
Accomplishments- after a Disney Race, Promotion, Engagement, etc
Mommy + Me
Headshots
And more!

My dress is this one from Lilly Pulitzer. I bought one size up from my pre-pregnancy sizing, so I'm excited that I'll able to wear it after baby too! It's machine washable (!!) and confession: I did spill Dole Whip on it but that's the beauty of Lilly- it hides the stains (which is the reason Lilly created her colorful shifts in the first place- to hide the citrus juice stains she would get when squeezing fresh-pressed juice at her stand in Palm Beach back in the 60's)!

Oh! And I have to say this. As much as I put myself/my life and family in front of the camera for Instagram or other things, I am 100% NOT comfortable modeling and posing for glamour shots. Alexis did such an amazing job of making me feel beautiful, comfortable, and at ease. She went with the flow and was flexible, but also gave direction when needed and knows her stuff! This was my first time taking professional photos, and she really set the standard for me. So grateful!

These last few pictures are from my Baby Shower/Sprinkle hosted by the hostess with the mostest (and also my neighbor!) Daniella (@lularoedmarie_vip on Instagram). She and my mom tribe did such an amazing job making us feel so special. I am beyond blessed. Oh, and Daniella has literally thousands of LuLaRoe pieces in stock at her house- if you're a fan of the line, definitely reach out to her! She's got the goods.

(And how cute are these little socks?!?)

Thanks for reading!
