I'm shocked at how quickly this pregnancy has gone by. I'm 35 weeks along, and the holidays and our little boy's arrival are just around the corner. I'm feeling a flurry of emotions and while I'm frankly very nervous, I can't wait much longer to meet this little person and see his face. I hope he has his dad's widow's peak and big heart, among so many things I love about him.
Amidst all the prep, I knew I wanted photos to remember these days by, and to one day show Baby Fig just how happy we were waiting for him. A few weeks ago, we had an in-home photo session with my good friend Celina McGraw of Happy Alpaca Photography, who just launched her photography business. With every opportunity I have had to be her subject, she amazes me more and more with her talent and craft. If you're looking for someone to capture your family's moments in the Austin area, I encourage you to reach out to her.
This is a beauty blog after all, so I do want to share about what I put on my face and did to my hair for these photos. Because this was an early morning session and I overslept, I had to expedite the getting ready process. Still, I managed.
I shampooed with Kevin Murphy's Hydrate Me Wash and conditioned with his Angel Rinse. Before blow drying my hair, I applied his Anti-Gravity serum to my roots for volume. On the lower half of my hair, I applied Bumble & Bumble's Styling Lotion for ease when giving myself some soft curls. I took big chunks of hair, wrapped around a 1 1/2 inch curling iron and held for no more than 10 seconds a piece.
For my face, I used W3ll People's Narcissist Foundation, a pregnancy favorite, and contoured with Trestique's Color and Contour Stick. I concealed and highlighted with Bobbi Brown's Creamy Concealer Kit, as well as Benefit's LemonAid. Eyeshadow was a combination of my go-tos - the Lorac Pro and Urban Decay Naked 3 palettes - and I finished my lids off with Nyx's Gel Eyeliner and Smudger and Ardell Lashes in #403 . I softly filled my eyebrows in with Trestique's Define, Sculpt and Set Eyebrow Pencil. On my lips I'm wearing a combination of Flower Beauty's Kiss Stick High Shine Lip Color in Baby Buttercup and Sweet Peony, with a dab of Urban Decay's Revolution High Color Lipgloss in Failbait. Blush was also Urban Decay, the Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Blush in Indecent.
Beautiful!
