8 Moms-to-Be Who Got Pregnant During Hurricane Pose Together

South Carolina Photographer Cassie Clayshulte got together eight moms-to-be for a photo shoot. These moms all conceived during Hurricane Matthew, a devastating storm that ripped through South Carolina in 2016. Clayshulte says she decided to do the photo shoot to show that something beautiful can come out of destruction.
 
Danielle Lewis, Lindsey Binkley, Taylor Pait, Lindsey Gullett, Brittany Day, Kayla Sumler, Savanna Dorsey, and Molly Spears — all residents of South Carolina coastal towns Bluffton, Beaufort, and Hilton Head — responded to Clayshulte’s call, and in May they came together for two stunning photo shoots. In the first, the eight women posed beside downed trees in a Bluffton nature preserve. For the second shoot, they gathered on the beaches of Hilton Head Island, a region that suffered extensive damage when Hurricane Matthew blew through with 105-mile-per-hour winds.
