Maternity Photos

After a week and a half of procrastination, I finally took my maternity photos. Initially, I wanted to get an independent photographer to take the photos but all the photographers I liked were really expensive, about $400 - $500 for a maternity/newborn session. I ended up going for the local Kiddie Kandids at Babies R Us -- not the private photography session I initially envisioned but it was far more affordable which, with a baby on the way, was more important.

I had scheduled my appointment for a week and a half ago but ended up not going. I really wanted the contemporary, bare belly photo with a classic white oxford button down shirt. But I couldn't seem to find a button down shirt that could fit over my big baby belly! I kept putting it off to the point that my husband was telling me that I'd deliver before I ever got to take my photos! Not wanting him to be right, I finally just got over the clothing hangup, picked out a blouse that my mom had given me for Christmas and took the photos.
