This photo is from a portrait session back in 2006.  This month she and her team won the Gold in Beijing!

I have received a lot of comments on my site, especially from other photographers, about this photo. She is probably the most fit mom-to-be I have ever done maternity portraits for. Her abdominal definition in late pregnancy was truly amazing. I think it is part of what makes the photo so interesting. (And a bit unfair!)
