I reallyyyy want to do a Maternity shoot with a professional photographer. But my best friend also wants to take the photos. I wasn't planning on doing any kind of special reveal shoot so I compromised and told her she could do that. Problem solved. Or so I thought...the newest issue...my boyfriend HATES taking pictures. Refuses to. Even just something small with me. So at the moment I'm throwing a fit because having photos to remember memories are really important to me. He knows that. We've discussed this over and over but the subject always gets dropped. Till today. I don't want to do these things by myself. The reveal, ok that's fine. I'm completely happy with Cupcakes or something because it wasn't something I wanted to do anyway. But a professional shoot with a few photos for ourselves and family is something I refuse not to have. And I really don't want to do it alone. Any suggestions on how to agree to disagree or even thoughts on doing a maternity shoot solo? Would any of you? Is it that big of a deal? Am I over reacting?
Re: Maternity Shoot Fail
Why doesn't he like to take photos? DH feels he not in shape so he always "hides" behind me( like he will hug me from behind so my body positioned in front of his). Maybe your DH can compromise and take only 1 or 2 photos with you and discuss why he doesnt want to and how you can make it more comfortable for him!
