Secret Garden Maternity Photoshoot in Columbus, Georgia

I’m so excited to finally be sharing more of the photos from our Maternity Photoshoot with you guys today! It was so special to me that my dear friend, Melissa, who has been a friend to Justin and I almost our entire relationship, was able to capture such a special moment in our lives. She’s a fellow military spouse and I highly recommend checking out her photography website, The Photobrief, and chat with her about booking your session. She’s currently located out of Fort Benning, Georgia but will be heading to Fort Bragg, North Carolina soon!

What is Motherhood? Redefined Motherhood No. 1

Redefined Motherhood is a new series on Made in Mom Jeans chronicling my transition into motherhood. In the first part of the series, I take a look at what motherhood really means versus what society tells us it is and talk about some of my initial thoughts and feelings about pregnancy. Sometimes we can get so caught up in how society wants us to react to certain situations that we are afraid to share our feelings. In this raw and honest post, I share my struggles with finding out about our pregnancy and how that ultimately lead me to the start of this series.
