I had an amazing opportunity to photograph Brittani and Carlos to celebrate their new addition to their family. I already knew that Brittani was an amazing person before our shoot, however, as we talked more during the photo session I found out that she still runs Marathons while pregnant! That totally blows my mind. I mean 1) she’s pregnant and that into itself is just amazing. 2) Brittani still runs half marathons while being very pregnant! Now that’s an amazing feat. To top it off, she’s in training for a FULL marathon sometime after she gives birth, of course.

This reminds me of one of my prior half marathons I ran. I was running behind a woman who was 6 months pregnant and on the back of her backpack, she had a sign that read “Im 6 months pregnant, what’s your excuse?“. I was behind her, playing catch up the entire 13.1 miles. It was kind of a soul crushing, unmotivating experience that I could not even run past someone who is pregnant. Might as well take my man card away.

Here are the pictures from Brittani and Carlos family maternity photographer Coto de Caza:
