Maternity Pictures

I love maternity pictures.  I especially love the session I just posted on my blog.

Did you / will you take professional maternity pictures?  I did and I’m so happy I did.  I thought I was HUGE when I took my maternity pictures and didn’t see how I could possibly get any bigger, but I did!  I was so ready to rush through my pregnancy and be done with it.  I’m happy now to have those pictures to look back on and remember it all again.  If I would have known who was inside of me I may have enjoyed it a little more :)  Plus, it was fun to get glammed up and feel pretty for a day!  Because Lord knows I was not feeling too pretty back in those days!

Here are a couple from our session with Jessica Claire.

This is the shot that I’ve seen so many people try to duplicate, but it will never be as good as the original :)

    You are positively beautiful, pregnant or not!! Can you believe little “B” was in there??

    I got maternity pics with my second and third pregnancies. I was so sad that I didn’t have them from the first. I love maternity photos. I know it is hard to see it when you are pregnant, but I don’t know that their is anything as beautiful as the pregnant body. Of course, you shots are amazing – the ones you took and the ones of you. :)

    Oh my goodness, those are beautiful! I wish I had done “professional” ones, I just set up my camera for my mom and had her and my husband take some. I may have been more likely to do it if I looked as good as you or your subject! The extra 50 lbs didn’t look quite as good on me. :P

    I absolulty love your “Bump” photo! Look at how little B was at one point. :( Time for #2. HEHE. My question is, when do our husbands get big for a little period of time and make us look all skinny… not fair. HA!

    I had maternity photos done and I’m soo glad I did. I love your bump photo it’s probably my favorite maternity photo ever (other than my own of course :P )

    I didn’t do maternity shots and I regret it. At the time I didn’t think I would care to remember how huge I was so I just have a few snapshots. My co-worker took monthly pictures of me and made a scrapbook. That is all I have to look back on. If I were to do it again, I’d would want to capture it professionally.

    I love the “bump” picture. I would want to steal that idea too:)

I love everything about pregnancies [probably because I've never been hehe]and birth, I guess thats why I love my job as a L&D nurse! You did great on this session as always!!!

    Hi there. I have become a HUGE fan of your work. I look at your blog all the time to see what new advice you have posted. I am a momtog myself, and doing my best to be a professional photog! I am a Canon user so all your advice fits in with any question I could have. I am using a Rebel at the moment but want desperatly to get a 50d. You are right about the third party lenses… I SOOO wish I hadn’t gone that route! Oh well, live and learn I guess.
    Thanks for sharing all your advice. I love it when other pro photogs will share their knowledge. I learn something knew everytime I’m on here.
    The pictures you posted in this blog are GORGEOUS! Breathtaking really!!! I would LOVE to get more information from you about the one on one sessions you do.
    Thanks so much !!!
    God Bless

    Drew, your prego pics were beautiful! Truly breathtaking! So fun! Can you believe, little B is not quite so little anymore?

  14. Catherine says:

    I got maternity pictures done and am so happy I did. We went to a studio though and I hated that part of it. Some of the pictures look a little to posed but it was the only way I could get my hubby to agree. Next time, we aren’t going to a studio. I love your ‘bump’ picture. Adorable!

    Catherine’s last blog post..I did it

    Girl, you looked GORGEOUS! I loved these pictures then and I love them now! I did schedule to have maternity pictures done when I was preggy, but it got cancelled due to rain while we were on the way! UGH! We never ended up getting any done :( I sure wish we had though….

    Bobbie Brown’s last blog post..Lake Bound!
