*Update* My Christmas Maternity Pics, need Opinion

ETA more pics. Please tell me which youd put on your Xmas card
My photographer had the great idea to do mistletoe above my belly and get MH kissing it, but it's a bare belly shot. Just wondering if you got this in as a Xmas card if youd find it tacky or disgusting or weird. The other shot is the other more non christmas option that is covered. There are more to come this was just out of the sneak peak but I really thought the mistletoe pic would be cute for xmas. However I dont find bare bellies offensive so I need some other opinions please!

Yeah Im trying to think of older relatives responses. I cant think of any of my grandparents that would be offended, maybe a few older great aunts would though. Maybe Ill do 2 versions, the barebelly one for those who I know will like it and the covered one for those who Im not so sure about haha. I love that shot though:(
There are several of us both looking at the camera but these are all I have back so far. Did just see one of us together a liked a lot so I might use a more traditional shot. Thanks for the advice though (and the complement!).
I agree. The people of my parents' generation and up would probably not like it. You look beautiful though! I personally really love the one with the two of you with the book- it's so sweet.

These are absolutely beautiful! You are gorgeous Kara!
I am having an issue with the bare belly shot too, I wanted to do one for our Christmas cards but decided against it. I just don't think it's appropriate for a Christmas card. I think #6 or #3 would be perfect.
Third or the fifth (maybe put both on the card or wait till LO comes and do a combo card).
You look absolutely gorgeous in the third.
IMO, bare belly is a bit too intimate for a Christmas Card.
I love the mistletoe shot, think it'd look super cute on a Christmas card!
Ha, not only are we both from Warner Robins, but we used the same photographer for our maternity pics!
WHAT???? NO way!! That is too crazy! MH just vetoed my picture picking power and said no way are we not using the mistletoe one haha. Idk, still debating. Maybe in the big WR it's just not a big deal haha. Do you mind if I ask if your husband is military?
While I think it's a fabulous picture, I personally wouldn't send it out as a Christmas card.
Of the shots you posted, I'd probably use the one with the stuffed animal, that one is just lovely!!

Same!
You guys are too stinkin' cute!!! Makes me want to take pictures!
It's too bad you didn't do the Mistletoe picture with the belly covered...then you'd have both options. The picture is a neat idea though.
I think the mistletoe belly shot looks like something I would see in my OB's office or in a photographer's portfolio showing maternity shots. It's very artistic and pretty.
Having said that (and I know this is not rational) if a relative sent me a picture like that, I don't think I would like it much. Particularly before I had become pregnant for the first time b/c pregnant bellies used to freak me out. And even now that I've been pregnant and am more comfortable with it, I still don't think I would really want to receive a picture like that in the mail from my cousin or something.
My favorite one is the one with the little blocks, my 2nd choice is you and your DH reading the book. I would certainly get a print of the other one though.
Yes, my husband is military.
Well, all your pics came out pretty cute, so I think your cards will look great no matter what you go with!
Thanks girl!! I thought it was cute too (though obviously not everyone does haha). But I honestly think Im going to do exactly what you suggested. MH wont let go of that picture but I dont want to send it to those who might find it tacky so Ill do a bit of both haha!
YAY! I think you will get lots of great reviews from both pics.
I like 2, 5 and 6. 2 is my fav, but since your DH isn't in it, I listed the other ones as well. While I think the belly shot picture is awesome (they all are!), I personally would not use that for a Christmas card.
Nice pix!!
