Do it! I didn't and I regret it. I'd love to be able to show Tillman pictures now and say, "That's when you lived inside my tummy."

TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
I had mine done at 35 weeks. I have a friend whose photographer will do them as close to your due date as possible. She was like 39 weeks when she got them done...
It's okay, you're still a cute pregnant person! :-) If you're worried you can't get them done by a nice place, I had mine done at JCPenney and they turned out much better than I expected.
If I were thinner to begin with, I TOTALLY would've done it. However, I'm not so happy with my weight so I didn't really want to document the extra poundage. I did have DH take a few pics throughout though. I have seen some girls get them done with absolutely beautiful results! I say do it!
There are quite a few aspects of pregnancy that aren't great (okay, who am I kidding, they suck sometimes), so my goal is to do as much fun stuff as possible, and that involves maternity pictures. There's no other time in my life that I can think of that I've loved my belly this much.
So my two cents...talk to a photographer (or studio) and get a feel for it.
I got mine done around 35wks. I never got them done w/DD cause I felt I was too far along and regretted it. So I got them donew/#2. I love them. Spacystaci did a great job. My favorites are on her blog...

I vote Nay 'cause although I'm a huge photo-person, pro maternity pics are not something I would display in my home, so I skipped them. I have pleny of preggy photos I can show my son.
Re: maternity pics yay or nay?
