A CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Who has not thrilled to the miraculous stirring of yet-to-be-born life felt under one's hand, viewed on an ultrasound screen, or sensed within one's own body?
And who has not been fascinated by voluptuous, maternal fertility goddesses carved by ancient worshippers?
The transformation pregnancy brings to a woman's body and soul inspires awe and wonder.

Photographer Mary Ann Halpin's Pregnant Goddesshood: A Celebration of life provocatively captures the spirituality and sensuality, the uniqueness and familiarity of pregnancy.
Individual yet universal in their embodiment of the power of love, the images featured in these pages strike a chord that will resonate in anyone who has ever warmed to the tenderness of a mother's touch.

Breathtaking, whimsical, or wittily sophisticated, these portraits evoke laughter, tears, and life-affirming insight into human courage and devotion.
Halpin's strikingly original photographs, accompanied by each woman's musing on what it means to nurture a child who is growing within her, are deeply spiritual, delightfully humorous, intensely lyrical, and always loving.
