Professional maternity photos & maternity modeling
I was just curious if any of you have decided yet whether you're going to do any maternity photos of your beautiful pregnant bodies? Or if you've done them already! I know I plan to! I'm very excited about it & I am currently scoping photographers to do some nice artistic photos of me & my DH. I would love to have some black & whites & some semi-nude or implied nude pictures! My DH won't get naked, but he will probably take his shirt off, at least! I wouldn't expect him to. I have looked online at some absolutely amazing artistic maternity photos & it's just a beautiful thing! Anyway. What are your plans for documenting this amazing process our bodies are going through? I'd love to know! And if you didn't have any, maybe this could inspire you? Can't wait for your responses!

This.
We're getting maternity photos fully clothed. I will wear something that is form fitting though so my bump isn't hidden.
I feel the same way.
We aren't sure if we will do maternity pictures because I don't see us displaying them and can't see paying so much for good quality pictures that just collect dust.
I'm totally having maternity shots done; I think they're beautiful!! I will be going back to my wedding photographer. She said that around the 6 month mark is perfect as I'm big enough to look quite pregnant, but not big enough that I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.
I can't wait to see them!
I do love the artistic implied nude & nude photos when done tastefully. The pregnant body is very beautiful to me & I see nothing wrong with a woman wanting to show her beautiful curves in an artistic manner. Not everyone is going to agree with it or think it's beautiful and that's perfectly fine. To each their own. Thanks, ladies! I love getting people's feedback on stuff like this!
I didn't have them done with DD and I really don't think I'm going to do it this time either. I would much rather spend that money on professional newborn and family portraits when baby arrives. I also cannot imagine hanging semi nude pictures of myself in our home.
If I do change my mind and have them done it will be later in the early fall and a good friend will take them for us outdoors.
Who are you wanting to show these curves to? You won't catch me showing my naked ass to anyone but DH(and the delivery room staff)
I agree that the pregnant body is beautiful, and this is a time that DH and I will always remember, but what do you plan to do with these pictures? Would you put them up in your house? Just seems kinda like a AW move to me.
Some of the maternity photos I have seen are beautiful but I don't understand what you will do with them? I can't imagine hanging them up.....so, in a few years will they be in the back of some closet? I can see taking a photos of yourself pregnant to show your child later but regular everyday photos seem fine to me.....but to each her own! I will save the professional photos for the baby!
These replies make me so sad.
slwhatley- What are you even doing with the Beatles in your avatar?
I agree with this post. But I respect your decision. To each her own. I wouldn't take nude pics at all. I did some when I was 17 they were nice beautiful tasteful ones...and my boyfriend at that time took them, well his Uncle and dad ended up seeing them. I found out after we broke up and asked for them back, and needless to say...they umm Had a good time with my pics... I know tmi but...yes I learned my lesson with taking nude pics. I will probably have my photographer take some nice clothed ones though.
