Postcards from the Preg.


















I stumbled upon this blog while looking for one-piece gold lame body suits at americanapparel.net. A photographer named Ryan Marshall decided to chart his wife's pregnancy with a weekly postcard to the little bun in the oven (he calls them The Belly Pictures Series. Obviously the series had to end (the kid was born almost a year ago), but I still find myself returning to this particular section of his blog and reading each postcard. Each postcard is so poignant and touching. It's amazing how much you can tell RM loves this person he's never even met. Amazing.

Also amazing: Marshall got official corporate sponsorship. In each photo, Cole appears in a piece by American Apparel. Well, after a few weeks American Apparel put a link to Marshall's blog on their website and was very kind in providing more pretty outfits for Cole to wear in the series.

So, in summary, I love this little example of narrative because it's sweet, slightly stylish, and done with love.

The End.
