AW: maternity shoot!!

cjx95

I know not everyone digs the maternity pictures which is cool,  but I believe some out there will be getting some done so I figured why not share your favorite pic!! (or 2 or 3) I know I'm hoping to get them done soon and plan to be a total AW when I do and I can't be alone!

We had ours done Monday - can't wait to see them in a few weeks!!

We had ours almost 2 weeks ago. My photographer just posted that she was editing them tonight though and I should have them tomorrow *fingers crossed* The ones I saw from the back of the camera though were awesome so I am so excited to see them all.

Also we have NEVER had any professional photos taken (married a year in July, we eloped and had my sister take pictures for us, meant to get professional photos taken but with DDs visitation schedule and Hs work schedule we never had a weekend free at the same time) so these will be our first family pictures we have too!

Yayy! Can't wait to see! My moms going to take mine here and there as we can and I usually edit them minimally since I dont have photoshop or anything. But still so excited!

We did announcement photos at 20 weeks and I think have decided not to do an additional maternity shoot.

I already have newborn photos and another family session booked for later in the year and I didn't want it to seem like overkill.

After 13 years together we have so many photos of just us that I'd rather spend the money once little girl gets here.

However, part of my job is photography so I might do some DIY photos in a couple weeks. Here's my favorites from our announcement session, can't wait to see everyones!

And guess what I woke up to this morning! I won't go overboard but here are a couple favorites.

such sweet maternity photos ladies!  I've always wanted to do a maternity shoot but never have.  I end up spending the money on the newborn and "watch me grow" first year shoots for the baby instead.

I had my friend take some because I didn’t want to pay. Lol she literally just took them on her phone and then edited. And they turned out great. I didn’t need anything fancy, and I probably won’t post or put up any. Just wanted for memory purposes. I’ll just post a belly shot. 



ETA: I don't know why I have the weird streaky, pixely stuff on my dress. It's not on them all. Something weird. Idk.

We aren't doing maternity photos with baby #2 because I can't bring myself to pay for them! With DS my photographer friend did them as a baby shower gift! Sharing as I absolutely loved them!

Didn't get a chance to do maternity this time around, but DD was a rainbow baby and I really loved that we chose to do a maternity shoot. I'm glad I now have at least some belly pics to look back at. 

norahkate

@princessandthegator you are stunning...beautiful pictures!

cjx95

@princessandthegator those are gorgeous pictures!

britvahok

Everyone looks amazing!!!

@norahkate @mamabearcj thanks ladies, I sure didn't feel beautiful. Pregnancy was rough on me, though I will say I'm a little sad I didn't get there this time around. 

alexa_94

Here are some of mine, still waiting for the rest

Had these done on Saturday. They're more family pictures than maternity pictures and these are just a few from the previews we got. Don't have all of them yet!
