Maternity Photos (36 weeks)

I had no idea what to expect, but I'm really happy with these. Although I was imagining something more like Shannon's, you know, with more clothes on. But I like them. Though they are unlike anything I've ever had of myself before.

Makeup and hair are courtesy of my medical assistant, who very sweetly came over that morning to help out. The eyes are a bit overdone for my taste (to be fair, I told her to go darker... it's just the silvery aspect of it that I don't love.)

I can't quite imagine hanging one on my wall just yet, but I reckon I'll get to that point? Especially when I am not feeling quite so pregnant anymore!

(Last night was my first rough night's sleep as a pregnant woman. I know that I am extremely lucky about this. But it left me impatient to get to the next stage in this adventure.)

I have no idea which is my favorite. If you were me, which would you enlarge and frame?

  2. Wow Wow Wow! These are gorgeous!! I LOVE #1 and #5 the best. Especially #1 - love your smile. Your hair and makeup look great- eyes look great you are probably just not used to seeing yourself in that much makeup but I think it's stunning. And your hair looks great straightened. And your perfect skin... Jeez... I could go on and on! Thanks for sharing!

  3. You look wonderful in all these (and the makeup is perfect). Number 1 is by far my favorite - I love the expression on your face, and the fact that you're looking down at your bump. #4 is great, too, though it really doesn't show off your bump at all.

    Funny, when I first decided to do maternity pics, this was what I was imagining, and then I ended up going with my friend who calls herself a "lifestyle photographer" and so ended up with something completely different.

  4. The very first one is the one I would enlarge. I love your hands in it too. I'd also get the last one in BW. Lovely pictures.

  5. I like #1 and #5, as well. I like #4 but it's not as bump-focused. Love colors and pose and expression in #1. #5 shows your pregnant physicality beautifully and maybe a different, reflective aspect of yourself.

  6. Oh I meant #6 vs #5 above though my comments relate to #5 too. I just think #6 is cool. But fav is #1.

  7. I'm no help. I like 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. I think that 1 or 2 would look nice on the wall. Amazing pics and a nice memory of pregnancy.

  9. I like them all. 4 is my favorite but doesn't really show the bump. So I'd go with #1.

    Sorry to hear about the sleep. I was lucky in that department too! Hopefully it is a one time deal.

    Btw, Elsie has a session with Amy on the 7th. I really can't wait now that I've seen your photos!!
