Looking back, the dresses probably should have been more fitted so that I didn't have to keep accentuating the bump! </p> [attach=2406/13/mscpp2.400x600.maternity1.jpg] [attach=2406/13/mscpp3.600x600.mat4.jpg] [attach=2406/13/mscpp5.600x400.mat2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1055197 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:29:51 +0000 MamaMagpie 1055197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Hey, I just call 'em like I seem 'em :)<br /> @kjpugs: Aww thank you so much! I felt really comfortable in it, and am super happy with the pics, but it was looking at them that made me realize just how BIG I was! And that was six weeks ago so now I'm reeeaaaally big :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054696 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:55:16 +0000 mediagirl 1054696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a black and white dress that I also wore for my shower with a pink cardigan and yellow shoes. :)</p> <p>Man, looking back on these reminds me how swollen my face got. It was hard to even smile. HA! </p> [attach=251/13/msch86.400x600.DSC_0014.JPG] [attach=251/13/msch88.600x399.DSC_0088.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054679 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:44:32 +0000 tlcbaby 1054679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Haha!

It was so awkward! Especially since it was like 100 degrees... I think I would have preferred to just lose the dang clothes by the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054671 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:37:29 +0000 kjpugs 1054671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: holy gorgeous you DEFINITELY were pulling that dress off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054670 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:37:08 +0000 kjpugs 1054670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: that's such a great way to do pictures in winter!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054667 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:36:26 +0000 kjpugs 1054667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: your belly is so beyond adorbs!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054664 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:35:18 +0000 kjpugs 1054664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore four outfits... whoops! haha! Two tunic-type tops with leggings, and then a denim skirt, one with my It's A Girl shirt and one with a more fitted tee. It was SO. HOT. I got my pictures done fairly early (24 or 25 weeks I think?) because of travel timing with my photog friend! I think the heat made my decisions for me more than anything. </p> [attach=2870/13/mscgav.397x600.outfit1.jpg] [attach=2870/13/mscgax.397x600.outfit2.jpg] [attach=2870/13/mscgay.397x600.outfit3.jpg] [attach=2870/13/mscgb0.600x397.outfit4.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054661 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:32:16 +0000 MrsTiz 1054661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: earth momma goddess, love it! you're so nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054646 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 07:24:45 +0000 tlcbaby 1054646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore two outfits (and had to change outside in front of everyone)-here are a couple pics. I liked wearing something tight to show the bump, but also comfy. </p> [attach=1980/13/mscfta.399x600.image.jpg] [attach=1980/13/mscftb.399x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054453 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 23:50:06 +0000 MamaMagpie 1054453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: you are seriously gorgeous and look like a total earth mama goddess with your flowing blonde hair!<br /> @Mrs. Pen: so, so, so adorable! Your photographer was really talented and you guys look so blissfully happy :)<br /> @lawbee: I love that dress (stripes FTW!) and especially love the silhouette pic :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054452 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 23:47:10 +0000 MamaMagpie 1054452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a fitted knit dress that I already had and was really comfortable in because it wasn't too billowy. Anything a-line or billowy makes me feel ginormous! </p> [attach=3046/13/msbumn.600x399.image.jpg] [attach=3046/13/msbumq.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054405 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 23:08:23 +0000 autumnlove 1054405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a green dress from Motherhood Maternity.

I did two outfits - a short sleeve ruched tshirt dress with purple tights and flats, and then red pants &amp; a grey/white striped tshirt. Bright colors + bump were my focus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054369 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 22:50:55 +0000 lawbee11 1054369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I wore a $15 maxi dress from Forever 21 :) My thighs were my pregnancy problem area so I wanted something that would hide them! Plus, I love the way maxi dresses/skirts look in maternity pics. </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-photo-sneak-peek" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-photo-sneak-peek</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1054356 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 22:44:53 +0000 marionberry 1054356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1052322 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:55:02 +0000 Ash 1052322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: I need a personal shopper! :P</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: I love your pics!!

I hate that I didn't wear a cardigan with my dress photos. And pick an outfit that you love! I just put something together at the last minute and I didn't love it. I wish I would've specially shopped for something more flattering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1052183 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:18:43 +0000 looch 1052183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A brown maxi dress and a turquoise necklace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-wear-for-your-maternity-photos#post-1052179 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:18:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1052179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: bahaha thanks girlie;)</p> <p>oh this is my vest pic.

I've also had jeans or short skirts and that's fine-- but I think there is something super feminine about a long dress and it makes your profile so nice. My only advice-- don't wear a tank unless you love your arms. Not that many people *actually* like their arms in pics and it would suck if that ruined them for you.</p> <p>My last maternity shoot the mom wore a maxi skirt and tank with a cardigan and I thought she looked fabulous! </p>
