I think I want to do a maternity photo session this time. Still unsure about when to do it and whether or not to do bare belly pics!
Did you do bare belly pics?

I didn't to a maternity shoot at all! I was on bedrest all of 3rd tri when I would have done them.

sure did! they are my favorites. my belly was never that big so I didn't look very pregnant with clothes on. bare belly did the trick.

I didnt do a maternity shoot either, atleast not a professional one, I dont think I would do bare belly shots though

Nope. It was the end of January and freezing cold and we did our shoot outside on the beach! I had a really dark linea negra too so I don't think I would've liked photos of my bare belly. I've definitely seen some bare belly photos that I love though!

I did and I love the way it turned out. (I know I've posted this before, so sorry if I keep repeating myself)

I did maternity pictures, but no bare belly shots. By the time I was big enough for the pictures to look good, my belly was a little too beat up with stretch marks to put on display...

I wasn't too keen on bare belly pics, and I had stretch marks but there was one specific one that I want and it's more "intimate" - it's me in DH's work shirt with a pair of lace panties on, but the shirt is open to reveal my tummy. I absolutely LOVE it and will probably frame it for our bedroom.
This was my inspiration shot and it looks similar... but better if you REALLY want to see it, message my wall and I can show you

@Coco Bee: That is a fantastic picture, and I am not normally a fan of bare belly!

I didn't - my photographer didn't suggest it and I didn't feel strongly about it. We were outside in a park as well, so it would've been an odd feel.

@scg00387: We started out in my bedroom and did half the shoot there, we finished the session in a park I liked having the two locations. It was two different feels and styles.

@cocobee that is a great idea! we were on the side of short & cheap so just stuck to the park, but if we were in a house with a pretty bedroom I loved I probably would've done the same

@scg00387: oh we did not have a pretty bedroom hahaha! that is the wonder of photographers, they can make anything pretty. She moved my bed under the window to get better lighting. And hung some sheer and lace from the window. I LOVE my bedspread so we mostly focused on that. You cannot tell from my pictures that we had an awful bedroom (it was our old place, and the owners had painted ONE wall in the master bright fuschia PINK. it was so awful.)

I didn't get professional maternity pictures, but I did take a lot of self-portraits, and at least one a week were bare belly.
My favorite (and also least blurry!) of the bunch:
I also took a series of nude photos for my MIL (she's an artist and is going to paint me, not in a creepy way!) but I really don't think those are HB appropriate, haha!

@autumnlove: Yes, I will be doing some! Luckily my sister is having her photographer friend do a maternity shoot with me as a gift in Jan. I'm excited about it.
@BabyBoecksMom: So beautiful and classic!
@Coco Bee: Love that inspiration pic!
@FutureMrsMcK: Gorgeously real and kind of photojournalistic! Brave lady to let your MIL paint/photo you nude!
