    Maternity Shot

    I am 28 weeks pregnant, and would love to get some great 'studio like' maternity photos. I don't actually have a studio set up, but would love some ideas to use.

    This photo I took myself on self timer so I don't love it, but am going to be getting my husband to take some shots, I just need some ideas.

    But if I could have some feedback on this shot and ideas for how to do some future shots, it would be much appreciated

    Re: Maternity Shot

    I have a few ideas. Congrats by the way. Shortly before you leave for the hospital, throw on your 2 piece swim suit and have hubby take some shots. The ones I have of my wife we still laugh at after 3 years. Sorry, can't post any of those

    One other idea I am posting. You won't make it to Halloween, but it would still be fun for you. Maybe a basketball instead. There are many options I would think. Good luck to you.

    I would vote for air brushing or painting a pot of gold with a rainbow on your stomach in honor of Saint Patrick's Day. And I agree you should take the shots and as many of them as you can. We took a lot of photos of my wife when she was pregnant with both of our girls and I still wish we had taken more.

    Thanks for your feedback

    Joseph that's a very cool picture!! I am thinking something Easter themed maybe as well? And think Eddie that your idea of the rainbow and pot of gold could look fantastic if done well!!

    I am also going to try some in a style I've seen a friends - she got her other kids to 'finger paint' her tummy (meanwhile getting paint everywhere else as well) which I thought would be a nice way to involve my little daughter!!

    I will be 30 weeks next week, and my husband has some days off, so I might get him to help me take some!! Then I will also take some closer to my due date.

    I very much agree with the sentiment 'make sure you take as many as you can' because I didn't take very many with my last pregnancy, and even the ones I did take weren't 'nice' shots, just the self timer or in front of the mirror shots

    I look forward to using your ideas and showing you the end results!

    Re: Maternity Shot

    There are like a million ideas on flickr. What I would do is look HERE for a few ideas.

    Cripes, this thread just reminded me that I have a friend's new baby to shoot first week of March, I'd better put it in my calendar before I forget... lol
    Thanks for the reminder!

    A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

    As mentioned in the other thread, its just a small safety thing, nothing to worry about. I can see the pic nicely enough already.
