I officially have a closet full of PinkBlush Maternity AND PinkBlush clothing items. You read that right, they make clothes for before, during and after pregnancy! Prior to 20 weeks of pregnancy, I was able to get by with my loose-fitting tops, stretchy bottoms & babydoll dresses, but it was eventually time to look into clothes specifically made for a growing belly. When I was around 20 weeks pregnant I discovered PinkBlush and this company totally transformed my maternity wardrobe!

Factors that are super important to me when shopping online that PinkBlush is amazing at:

User-Friendly Shopping: their website is super easy to navigate and shop from whether you’re shopping their maternity or women’s line. It’s easy to search for items too, based on what you’re looking for.

Quick Shipping Times: incredibly quick turn-around time in the U.S. (They are located in California and I am in Minnesota). I usually receive my items within a week or two after I place my order.

High Quality Items: PinkBlush offers the best of the best to last you through all the messes of motherhood! You can feel confident that you’re spending your money on high quality clothing.

Fantastic Customer Support: on the off-chance that you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, they offer free return shipping and customer service will work with you until you’re happy!

Unique Clothes: who knew maternity clothes could be CUTE?! Then once you’re done wearing them during your pregnancy, you can wear the same items postpartum! More bang for your buck, amirite?! Not only are their clothes timeless and flattering for all body types, but they are fun and unique to PinkBlush — you won’t see their styles on other competitor clothing websites.

Good Deals: PinkBlush is almost always running some sort of deal where you can get a discount on your purchase!

Here are a few of my favorite clothing items I wore throughout my pregnancy:

Exact pair of shorts sold out. Similar pair (that I also own) here: Cuffed Maternity Denim Shorts

Pink Blush Maternity gave me so much confidence with my growing body – confidence that I hadn’t even realized I had lost. I always feel so beautiful in every piece I ever put on! I also love that I’ll be able to wear some of these pieces postpartum.

Now that my baby girl is finally here, my arms are full and my heart has truly never been fuller. I feel oddly empty inside – physically – though. My body misses the feeling of her inside my womb, growing and moving. In fact, I’ve even experienced some phantom baby kicks in the spots where she moved the most. I knew I’d miss my baby bump, but I never thought I’d miss it so much. I often place my hand over my deflated belly, missing what it felt like. I’m so so glad that I have these beautiful photos from Kate’s Photography to cherish forever! I find myself looking at them all the time, reminiscing the little miracle inside me.

We originally booked this session with Kate as a “Fall Maternity Shoot”. I decided on the most beautiful maternity gown from Sexy Mama Maternity. I was able to provide custom measurements to ensure a perfect fit. It was tailored to my size and delivered to me quickly, with plenty of time before the shoot. For Noah, I had him wear a nice neutral sweater to compliment my dress. In true Minnesota fashion, Mother Nature decided to gift us with some wet, heavy snow just days before the shoot. In a panic, I urgently Amazon Primed a faux fur shawl to change our look from “fall” to “winter”. I’m not kidding when I say my shawl arrived 30 minutes before we had to leave to meet with Kate!!

So, without further ado, here are some of my absolute favorite photos that were beautifully captured in my Sexy Mama Maternity dress, with the love of my life, by my good friend, Kate!
