Maternity photos
Should I do them? What are your thoughts on them? If I do they would be fully dressed normal pictures, I'm not a fan of the half naked/sexy ones.

Totally personal preference. I wasn't into them because I knew I wouldn't do anything with the pics. I did, however, do newborn shoots with both of my kids and I love those pics.

Re: Maternity photos
I would like to. I totally agree with you about the half naked/sexy pictures. I don't like ANY naked bump pictures at all- and I mean fully clothed with just the bump sticking out. It's not for me.
ETA: I have a question for you though- if you do them, will your DH be in them with you? Mine doesn't want to be.  He barely wanted to be in our wedding photos.
ETAA: I like shoots like this- beautiful and ethereal... not cheesy ones, ya know?

Re: Maternity photos
I wasn't going to do them but a friend from college was in town this past weekend and took a few for me (for free)-- I love them! I think she took a few more but here are the teasers. I'm not sure I'd pay a lot for them but look forward to showing LO some day (if he cares  ).
I definitely wasn't going to do any showing much skin. I thought these were tasteful and even DH agreed to do these!

I'd like some alone and some with DH. Yea naked bump is just odd to me and seems kind of fetishy.

Re: Maternity photos
I only wanted some photos of myself in the Twins' Nursery. I just liked the idea when I saw some pics on Pinterest so DH took them for me! :)

We must have a mutual friend on facebook because someone I know "liked" your top photo and when I saw it I thought how gorgeous you are!

This. I didn't like myself pregnant and wanted no pictures- especially expensive ones.
I think I have ONE pic of me pregnant and that's because DH forced me to take on shot like 3 days before i gave birth. I cut my face out of it though because I hated how disgusting and bloated and broken out I looked.
Plus, like the poster here said, what would i do with them?
I saved the money for my newborn shoot
Me personally, I just didn't need any reminders of how I looked during a time I was the most uncomfortable in my own skin than I ever was in my life.

Personally not my thing. Not sure what I'd do with them.
