Ruti Maternity

My wonderful next-door neighbors in Jerusalem, Ruti and Tal, are having a baby this summer. They have been so sweet all year, inviting my husband and me over for dinner, showing us around Israel, and even having us over to Tal's parents' house for Rosh Hashana. So when Ruti told me she was pregnant, I decided to give her a maternity session as a gift.

Ruti is one of the sexiest, most beautiful pregnant women I've ever met. She's so centered and comfortable with her body, and she's totally glowing. She and her husband Tal are so in love and so happy about their baby; they were such a joy to photograph. I won't be around for the birth of their little boy, but I can't wait to meet him either next time I'm in Israel or when Ruti and Tal come visit me in New York!
