    I have yet to do maternity pics. I'm 34 weeks today and I'm waiting till I'm bigger. I got mine done at 40 weeks with my third baby but I definitely don't want to wait that long again. I want to order a gown, so hopefully within the next couple of weeks they are scheduled and shot.

    love all these- I haven't done any yet, nor have I booked them so maybe we won't be doing them. Seeing these makes me want to though!

    I love them all! DH and I did our own around 24 weeks, so I wasn't huge yet. I haven't booked anything yet but may end up doing more later on ourselves again. I'm mobile, but maybe if I'm feeling ambitious I'll post some later :)

    I wasn't planning on doing these but now I definitely want to! Your pics look great, girls. I would LOVE to do an earth mama ethereal flower crown look, but it's winter in NYC so the setting doesn't quite fit... Hmmm.

    I love these all so much!! I think I've decided that I need to choose between maternity and newborn due to money... So I think we will be doing newborn. I thought maybe for next baby since I won't be doing any showers or anything I'll get maternity photos as something special and get newborn photos as well.

    Thank you!! :smile: It's worth the memories to do some, even if you do them on your own. We found our photographer on Facebook and ended up getting a great package deal.. Only $200 for both maternity and newborn session.

    Is it super sketchy to get them done somewhere like Picture People? I see that they do maternity pics. The only photographer I can find (that does maternity and has responded) charges $400 for the session and 5 (!) digital images. I get that professionals cost money, but we just can't do that right now.

    On the other side of it, how easy are DSLR cameras to use? I'm really not looking for super fancy maternity pics (but better than iPhone ones, that's for sure!) and H has been asking about getting a new camera for about 2 years. Costco has a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for $500 that we could split three ways (my acct, his acct, joint acct) to make it more financially feasible and then maybe we could do some pics with that?

    We just bought a new camera and they're super easy to use. Most of the time you can stay on Auto and it'll adjust everything for you. We got a great deal right before Christmas and used it as our presents to each other. We're really excited to take pictures of the LO!

    @VitaLuna ..... Try finding photographers through facebook pages. Thats how they advertise these days. I won't post mine due to last name in them and I don't like putting face all over the bump boards. I paid 125 and got 15 edits on a flash drive all prints are extra. I've never heard of anyone charging more then 200 and I live in Chicago. Ours were reasonably priced and professionally done. Ask friends that have got photos taken who they used. You have to know someone who has a good photographer connection or look on fb pages like I said!

    I don't think a dslr is necessary. IMO most of the "professional" photos look that way because of photo editing or filters. Unless you need some high resolution to blow up the image to 30x30 or something that's my two cents!
