'One of my favorite moments in time'
The 48-year-old actress and her photographer released black-and-white images from her maternity shoot, in which Hilary clutched her growing baby bump while entirely naked. Hilary posted a picture of herself looking down with one arm across her chest and the other supporting her belly.
Hilary captioned the beautiful picture: "Thank you @brianbowensmith for capturing one of my favorite moments in time, being pregnant (next to having my babies earth-side and meeting and marrying my husband đź’ť) I was 27 1/2 weeks here."
She looked affectionately at her developing belly while wearing her long, brown hair in loose waves. The 'Alaska Daily' actress gave photographer Brian Bowen Smith credit for capturing the private moment in her 27th week of pregnancy. A photo from the wonderful shoot was also shared by the photographer, Owen Smith. In the picture, Hilary can be seen stroking her hair with one hand while covering her chest with the other. She had her side turned and was glowing with pregnancy.
The gorgeous social media posts were made a week after Swank's twin son and daughter made their online appearance. The 'Boys Don't Cry' actress gave birth to a boy and a girl before April 10, but did not disclose the precise date. In an Instagram photo, she shared the moment her little bundles of joy entered the world while cradling them close to her bosom and gazing out at the setting sun. "It wasn’t easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it…Happy Easter! …Posting from pure Heaven," she captioned the announcement post. Hilary and Philip became parents for the first time after the birth of the twins.
