So sad about maternity pictures

Dh said he doesn't want to do them. Chat Icon He doesn't get it. He hates being in pictures and he just wasn't open to it.

Would it be silly to do them alone? I am so sad. Isn't he supposed to just do whatever I want? It's something so silly but I want to cry.

I'm sorry!! And NO! I do not think it's funny to do them alone!!! It's your body & you want the pictures!!!

I haven't thought about it yet, because even at 25 weeks I so don't have a cute belly yet!! It's just fluffy & lumpy stillChat Icon

BUT.....if & when it looks cute.......I will have some pictures taken & likelyhood is DH would not want to be in them either!

Would he be open to taking some with just his hands on your belly? If not, than do them alone. Don't miss out on something you want, just because he doesn't want to be a part of it. You will be happy you took them.
Good Luck, hopefully he'll come around and take a few for you.

Definitely do them alone - I've had tons of girls do them by themselves - one girl actually did them and surprised her hubby with them. She put them in an album and gave it to him as a present. It was really cute.

I say go for it!!!! This is one of those things that you will regret later on and you can't change it, you know? So if you want to do it, DO IT! Chat Icon

I understand him not wanting to be in pictures, especially those that are staged. But he can certainly do the hands or come along. That way if he wants to jump in one or two... he's there and can!

Re: So sad about maternity pictures

I'll be honest--- I wouldn't WANT DH in them. He looks all goofy in *posed* shots. I had mentioned it to him when I was pg with DD and he told me he preferred not doing it- to which I was very glad.

In the end, I was too busy to set aside a time to have them done anyway.

Re: So sad about maternity pictures

i did them alone. dh didnt want tobe in them and then i decided to have my daughter in them instead. its for you to remember your body when you were pregnant with oyur child not when your dh decided he wanted to be in pictures. i wouldnt think twice about doing them alone. his loss. maybe he will even feel guilty after seeing how beautiful your pictures are. my dh loved the pictures and is happy i did them.

Re: So sad about maternity pictures

I am so sorry.......but absolutely do them anyway!!!! You don't want to miss capturing this time in your life, so if you want them, do them. Who knows if he goes with you, maybe he might change his mind.
My photographer said that many guys do once they are there!

If you want the photo's go for it. My DH isnt a big fan of photo's and I really want them so I'll probably do them by myself

Re: So sad about maternity pictures

Don't be sad. Take a ton of pictures of you and your belly...Look at it this way, you will be the star of the show- you won't have to share the spot light!!!

Enjoy

Re: So sad about maternity pictures

We had this fight over engagement pics and pregnancy pics. I really think my DH is mean about this topic and it still upsets me.

Go get the pics done alone. My SIL has both pics with my brother and by herself. At least you can have beautiful pics of you with the baby.Chat Icon

Re: So sad about maternity pictures

DH took all of my pics, which means I was alone - he was in them for 2 - he put the camera on timer....
