Pregnancy Photo Shoot

Jason and I had some pictures done two weeks ago and I finally got some proofs back today. I didn’t want a traditional pregnancy photo shoot (bare belly is not the look for me) and I wanted to incorporate us as a family somehow. Here are some of my favorite pictures. What do you think?

Just a quick aside: I didn’t really realize how much my body had changed until I saw these pictures. When I first got pregnant, I read the Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy, and the author makes a comment in the book about how she didn’t realize how much bigger her rear end had gotten until she got an unexpected glimpse in the mirror. Well, I didn’t realize how many chins I have acquired…. or how my butt is now able to support a tray without it falling…. or how I have stubby fingers and t-rex arms until I saw the proof of this photo shoot. Haha! Oh, well… there’s time to worry about that after Cooper arrives.

Awww, you look beautiful! I'm ready to pop. I hope I can make it until my induce date (January 5). My feet & ankles have been swelling so bad...I'm so OVER being pregnant! But, I can't wait to meet my sweet boy :)

They turned out so good! You look great in purple. I'm due in 14 days and really regret not getting real maternity pictures taken. I sure as heck am not getting them done at this stage in the game. I have my every 2 weeks bare belly pics thanks to my self timer though ;)

Those are really good! And I love the 2 in front of the pineapple fountain! It places you...if you ever leave Chucktown, then you have those pics to say, Oh yeah, we were in Charleston when you were born.

You look beautiful! Those pictures are great. And the Battery is such a great place for a photo shoot. That fountain always takes my breath away every time I see it. I LOVE it. I would love to know who you used to take the pictures. I am always looking for a great photographer to do our annual family pictures!
