You ladies are rocking it! This is one of my favs. We had one of our friends take the photos. She's a teacher and does this for fun, her talent is incredible.
And I now have this overwhelming feeling that I need to buy a new dress and the $200 cowboy boots I've been eyeing for over a year. But I can't spend that much money on stuff like that right now! But I've been dreaming of my maternity photos for months in those boots. Being a hormonal adult sucks lol
@bbyT so sorry that you don't like yours! We can't afford a photographer so my MIL is just going to take a few for us...perhaps you could do something like that and have your SIL help out like she was supposed to?
I was also planning on wearing white but you make a good point about it possibly not being the best color choice! I might bring a second outfit now! Thanks for the heads up!
Ours are next weekend and I'm excited. Our photographer does a bundle discount so we booked the baby bundle with her and she pre-schedules the newborn and first birthday sessions (with flexibility of course.) It will be nice not having to worry about those things at a later date.
@entropicallyfavored thanks... they are slowly growing on me... but a heads up as well... I wore a grey top and it started raining, which shows in pictures. Also I am not a "dress" person to begin with so I wore pants... and you can see the elastic band. So make sure if it rains or sprinkles that it won't show on your outfit and if you wear pants that the shirt hides the band. I had a solid shirt, i am thinking if it had a pattern it wouldn't have been so bad.
I ordered this today for my maternity photos in a small and I'm hoping it fits. The model in it is wearing a small and is 5'7". I am 5'9" and I think my belly will be big enough to fill the baggy-ness of this look. I feel like I have been putting maternity photos off for such a long time, ugh. If it doesn't fit I may not take them.

@bbyT thanks! we're doing it today and it is supposed to rain some, so those are all much-appreciated tips! i'm glad that yours are growing on you. i'm hesitant to do it at all (i get pretty uncomfortable having my picture taken), but my husband actually keeps saying he wants them to remember me since he loves seeing me pregnant so much, which pretty much just melts my heart. maybe you can just think of it that way if all else fails.
@midwestbaby that dress is beautiful! i hope it fits!
@entropicallyfavored, good luck today! But I feel the same way- I am normally the one that takes pictures and not taken of me. I just feel awkward in-front of a camera vs behind it!!! Lol. But We got some gorgeous landscape photos with the dark clouds and sunny sky. Just ignore the people (us) in the picture!! Lol
Have fun. We are pretty much laughing in every picture cuz we both don't ever take pictures and couldn't stop laughing at how awkward it was for us!!! But we did have fun and so did our photographer. Hope you have fun with your shoot!
Thanks ladies! It was hot so I had on a shorter dress but the wind was crazy (it had rained right before the shoot started)!
I opted to change into this maxi dress (by Rachel Pally if anyone's interested) & was much more comfortable with the wind blowing and all! Covered my swollen feet in flip flops too. Ha!
We did our "maternity session" last weekend. I really wanted it to be more of a last photo session as a family of three and our photographer did a beautiful job capturing our family. She persuaded me to take a couple by myself (hate photos of just me), so sharing one here.
@AliKay20 I love the overall light glow to the photos. And your dress is beautiful!

These are all so nice! Everyone looks so cute. Here are just a few from ours last weekend (we just had my MIL take them with a cell phone, but I'm still so happy that we did it)!
Finally got around to taking ours this weekend at 33 weeks. I wanted more of DH and I together, but the timer on my camera was acting up. Sigh. Oh well. They are done and I can check them off the list!

Just a snipit from our shoot last weekend I love the pics, but def didn't realize how big I was getting all over - everyone keeps telling me I'm all belly, but these photos tell another story, oy!
@SkiChic626 So cute! I can't help but wonder how much of a struggle it was to get you up off the ground after that bottom shot. Haha it wouldn't have been pretty if it was me!
