I did have bad stretch marks, but my photographer photoshops them out. I thought that the almost-naked shots were just as good. I didn't want naked ones.<br /> So no, I guess I wouldn't do naked ones. I guess I wouldn't know what to do with them either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-101667 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 23:53:57 +0000 joyjoy 101667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. I can see the beauty in the idea and why people would want them done, but I wouldn't be comfortable with the situation for myself. I have a hard enough time posing for the camera with my clothes on. My photog friend showed me a shoot he did where the woman had just her belly exposed (top and bottom covered), and even the thought of doing that makes me a little squirmy. I guess I don't like being exposed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-101664 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 23:34:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 101664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't even take CLOTHED maternity photos because I feel so ugly pregnant. I don't want to remember looking like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-101479 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 16:06:50 +0000 BSB 101479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I couldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100976 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:26:46 +0000 Andrea 100976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: yes, she specializes in maternity and boudoir shoots. I did a combo of shots with/with out clothes and alone/with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100972 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:22:39 +0000 heffalump 100972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I figured they were! Were they professionally done? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100942 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:00:41 +0000 MrsH 100942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh-no. Seems like one of those things from awkard family photos dot com. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100815 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 06:46:58 +0000 dc yoga bee 100815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. I agree with pp about them being for you and to document your journey. I wouldn't do them with legs spread or anything, but tastefully covered? Sure. I did a boudoir shoot for hubby which he wasn't expecting and he absolutely loved it-and so did I. It was a great experience, and again I wasn't bending over doing spread eagle or anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100783 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:04:26 +0000 His Barista 100783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't and I won't. Personal preference lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100782 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:01:53 +0000 erinpye 100782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way- I even hate bare belly shots. I just feel like I wouldn't do that sort of photo normally, so why would I while pregnant? I did do a fun, clothed maternity shoot at 7 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100713 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:09:18 +0000 tequiero21 100713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm with you, heck no! celebrities love fads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100705 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:59:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 100705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100697 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:45:25 +0000 lemondrop 100697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not for me. I wouldn't want them accidentally found! It was bad enough for me that I pulled up my shirt over the belly each week for one of the photos since it looked totally different from the shirt over the belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100689 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:26:21 +0000 MsMini 100689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that if you feel comfortable with it, you should totally go for it. I won't be, but I am just not that comfortable doing it, I might do some semi-nudes for my mat pics in 2 weeks, just to see how they turn out, because you only have one chance to get the pictures done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100685 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:18:26 +0000 daniellemybelle 100685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are brave enough, more power to you! Personally I don't think my modesty standards will change when I am pregnant... if anything I will be more self conscious! I feel like, if I wouldn't take pictures showing my naked belly non-pregnant, I don't know why I would just because there's a kid in there. I'll spend the money when they're out and you can see him/her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100655 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:43:14 +0000 ALittleP 100655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it, if like celebs, all of my flaws would be airbrushed away :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100654 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:43:06 +0000 Andrea 100654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: thanks! and all my -ahem- private parts are tastefully covered for the record. :-)</p> <p>@mediagirl: thanks! hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100652 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:39:35 +0000 heffalump 100652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: That's sweet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100649 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:37:13 +0000 Andrea 100649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: it is for me to have and remember the joys of being pregnant with my daughter. i don't think the purpose of taking photos is to show everyone. hopefully my daughter won't mind seeing them some day. i think it will be special to show her. i have the photos in a beautifully bound leather book with her name and month/year of birth on the cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100644 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:34:19 +0000 heffalump 100644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Why would you take them if you don't want to show them! I want to see too, I bet they're beautiful!</p> <p>I would be way too shy to show anyone.... so for me it would be a waste to show. Plus the stretchmarks were crazy, it just wouldn't be a pretty sight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100632 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:23:55 +0000 mediagirl 100632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Waste of money, Imo. I'd prefer to spend it on baby photos. Who cares what I look like, I want to remember her years down the line, not being preggo. Especially nekked!! </p> <p>@Andrea - go you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100630 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:22:39 +0000 rawrasaur 100630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100627 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:18:58 +0000 cupcakemama 100627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I felt good pregnant and looked great, I think. But what would I do with the photos?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100620 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:02:28 +0000 cyndistar3 100620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, I will never be comfortable enough with my body to do that and I would never show them to anyone either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100605 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:49:08 +0000 regberadaisy 100605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'm too shy.<br /> But we have talked about my husband taking nude maternity photos of me with our DSLR. For our eyes only! hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-naked-maternity-photos#post-100604 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:48:56 +0000 Andrea 100604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: you crajee.
