Maternity Pics?

Who is getting maternity pictures taken? We've planned to all along, but I was just curious about what some of you ladies are planning on doing as far as outfits, location, etc.

My SO's cousin got some taken and they were absolutely adorable. My favorite was of him on one knee, holding her belly and kissing it. She was wearing a toga-like thing but it covered only her breasts and was like a full-length skirt at the bottom and her belly was completely exposed. It was precious, but obviously since it's someone close to us, we can't do the same thing! So I just wanna hear what you guys had in mind for your maternity photo shoots if you're doing them!

TIA!

Re: Maternity Pics?

  • We're getting them done. No clue what we're doing in them yet. My husband is a photojournalist, so luckily we know a lot of photographers.

  • We will not be getting them done, however, we will be getting our yearly Halloween pics, Thanksgiving pics and Christmas pics so we will probably do a couple little pics of my DD hugging my belly or something, but I am not into the whole maternity photo shoot thing.

  • I am planning on getting them done. I want to take one with a pair of baby's shoes on my belly and one with our wedding rings on my belly. Other than these two, not sure what our photographer has in mind.

  • We're doing them!  I'm a photographer though, so it's not really surprising that I would.  I'm not into the drapes or studio shots while pregnant, although MH is.  We're going to have some done in a neat downtown area about 30 minutes away (the locations here stink!).  It'll be outside with older buildings & fall leaves (hopefully).

    Haven't decided what to wear yet, but just whatever I feel looks best on me at the time!

  • I'm getting them done. Not sure exactly on poses. I just know what I don't want. That would be the hands forming a heart over the belly- It's just way too over done IMO and I'm not doing too much nudity. My belly will be the only bare skin exposed, I'll probably even have long or 3/4 sleeves on. I hate when women are topless with just their arm covering their nipples or when a cover is made to look like the woman is topless. I think that's tacky.

    I'm really hoping the photographer has some good ideas!

  • DS will be 3 in November and I'm making an appointment for pictures for his birthday/family portraits/Christmas portraits so I'm sure some will be focused on the baby belly, but I'm not doing a formal maternity session. I'm not a big fan of the overly staged and cheesy (sorry, no offense) maternity pics.
