This Expectant Mother Captures Images of Her Pregnancy Inside a Bathtub

A Dublin-based art director and expectant mother created a divine collection of photographs that depict her emotions throughout her pregnancy. The images feature the beautiful mother-to-be laying in a bathtub that is filled with water and floral accents.

Her photographs are shot from overhead in order to fully showcase her body from head to toe. Each image shows a different mood, which is represented through the use of color and her aesthetic preferences. In each each image, the artist changes her clothes, makeup and the flowers. The color of the flower petals that are sprinkled throughout the tub aim to project a particular mood. There were a few particularly strong emotions that the artist experienced before giving birth such as calmness, sadness and sexiness.

This beautiful expectant mother-to-be decided to create this series just one week before she was due. The ultimate goal of the photographs is to capture the true elegance and beauty of pregnancy.
