Alyssa and Stephen's circus and Dr. Seuss inspired maternity session • Offbeat Home & Life

All photos by Brandi Thompson Photography.

Alyssa and Stephen are fans of bright colors, Dr. Seuss (Alyssa has a Truffula Trees tattoo!), and the circus. In fact, Alyssa used to work for a circus, and Stephen knows how to juggle. The pair asked Dallas-based Brandi Thompson Photography to capture their maternity fun. Much like the heroes of Captain Planet, when these two combine their powers and pastimes greatness follows:

Oh, what was that you heard? About half of our readers falling out of their chairs due to the overwhelming spectacularness of these two photos? I probably should have warned you ahead of time.

Told ya she had a Truffula Tree tattoo!

According to Brandi there are more shots available, but they feature the baby’s name. Alyssa and Stephen are keeping their baby’s name a secret until after his or her birth in August, so for now our maternity fun starts here. So I guess you could close out the window… or you could scroll right back to the top and indulge in this series all over again.

I just keep staring at the tight rope pictures. Consider my mind blown!

Thanks so much for sharing this session, you guys! I love me some Offbeat Mama. 🙂 It’s great to have a unifying source for all of us ‘non-traditional’ type parents.

Bwa ha ha… I got to help with this shoot, and I have to say, COME BACK FOR THE NAME PICS!! You think these are cute? Zomg, some of the name ones are brain-splodingly cute. 😀

I love my maternity photos!! Brandi did such an AMAZING job!

These are AWESOME maternity photos! So much fun! This kid is going to have such a fun childhood! Hope you guys post the name photos after the kidlet arrives! 😀
