Simon Schaffrath, a photographer from Germany, and his wife decided they wanted to do some pictures for the announcement of their first baby!

They plan on naming him “Theodor” and I absolutely love and appreciate the creativity that Simon put into each and every photo!  Painting the scenery on his wife’s body using non toxic materials and the style of photography Simon used really creates a scene that seems to lay out a recommended life plan for the little guy!

Enjoy the images after the bump… I mean jump. 

Each image is titled to show the meaning behind the image… a message to Theo you could say!

"You can reach everything"

“You can reach everything”

Simon provided a Behind the Scene look into how this shot was created

In the next shot you can see how he added himself to the image.
