So, a friend has offered to do maternity photos. She did our engagement photos, and they're wonderful.
She's about 5 hours away, though, and my original thought was to do them the weekend of the baby shower. However, that assumes a lot of things, not least of all that she would want to even come to the baby shower anyway. Plus, I don't think I need to worry about two things in one weekend. AND, my baby shower is around 32 weeks for me.
That brings me to my point of this post. WHEN are you, or DID you, if you are already a mom, do your maternity photos?
This sounds silly, but I already feel huge. I did not get a cute bump. I just got fat everywhere. I feel pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not that far along. So, I don't know if I want to wait until 32 weeks to do them, and if I do, I'm not sure I'll like what I see. I want to see a nice big bump. But. I feel like I'm going to be HUUUUUGE.
The only weekends I have would be almost 28 weeks or almost 30. Is that too early if I don't do the 32 weeker?
Re: Maternity Photos -- When?
I say its up to you. I shot a maternity session for a couple in May and she was 36 weeks... but she was also small even then so any earlier and I'm not sure she would have been happy.
