I had no clue and let our photographer pose us. I'll try to post some later when I'm not on my phone with a sleeping babe glued to my lap. Where are you shooting them?
We are shooting them at a local park with lots of flowers, bridges, stream, it's the same place we did our engagement pictures. I thought it would be cool to go back to the same park. I've looked up some ideas, I was curious what other people did too. We are friends with our photographer but he isn't always great at posing us, we are the only lesbian couple he had photographed. I taller than my wife, but heavier and obviously the pregnant one, so our 'poses' won't be traditional like a straight couple.

Nothing to do with maternity pics but @redrockmama your wife's (short hair... I'm assume you're the one who is pregnant?) hair is what I want my hair back to! Mine was fairly similar up until about a month or two ago (though a little shorter in the back) but I can't find anyone here anymore that can do it right! The last time I got it cut the lady did a horrible job and I've been growing it out ever since to even it up so I can potentially get it fixed without having to chop it completely off.... So now it's more the length of yours.... Which is never a good thing because I just realized I can pull it back into a tiny ponytail so the lazy part of me always wants to do that now!
Also your pics are beautiful! Love the lighting and the open field!
Beautiful pics @redrockmama! (Love the ones of M in the PIP thread today too).
