Hello Friends!
Everything is going great with our baby so far and I just wanted to share with you some of our Maternity photos today since I will also be having my BABY SHOWER as well on this day, set-up and planned by my girlfriends, I'm so excited to see what they've come up with!
Anyway, I think Demi Moore started the trend when she went on a magazine cover naked with her belly out. But no matter what you think of it now, Maternity photos have taken a huge chunk of the photography business too!
I never had one with my 2 boys for 2 reasons: 1) It wasn't the "thing" back then & 2) We probably couldn't afford it too! ;-)
Here are some of my faves from our shoot...
Overall, it was truly fun and truly 'awkward' ( you can see the awkwardness in some of the photos).
We're just not "professional posers" I guess. My hubs and I kept laughing a lot and it was hard to keep a straight face even if the photographer, was a very good friend of ours.
We still think it was worth the effort and would be a great time to look back upon this unique time in our lives and in our child's.
Have A Great Weekend!
VEL
Would love to hear your thoughts! Please share away...
Oh, Vel! These are just darling. Your family is so sweet. I love the one of you on the stairs and your guys in the mirror! I'm so happy for you and Dear, that little baby has really grown! Have a wonderful shower too and be blessed. I'm on a break really, getting ready to leave Monday for our drive to New York and a new house and to be with my little grandbabies! I'm excited for you and for me too!

You look amazing! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteYour baby will love looking at these photos one day!
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely gorgeous! You look great Vel. I never had pregnancy pictures taken either. You are making me want to get pregnant just so I can get some cute photos. Just kidding. NOT! But thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are stunning. So pretty and you look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I have several favorites but I think my most favorite is the one with your boys touching your belly! Times have certainly changed. I wouldn't allow any photos to be taken of me while I was pregnant 25 years ago!! I know that your family is getting more and more excited about the upcoming birthday!
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful, Vel! I love the one with your hands making a heart symbol and the one with the reflection of your hubby and kids in the mirror is priceless!! Love them all! You'll be so glad you did this. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photography session dear Vel! My daughter Alexandra is a professional photographer and she does these too, not only brides, lol! She did one in siluette, so she looks naked, but you couldn't see who it was. I love how the photographer included your family.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend darling.
