With my first two pregnancies, without even realizing it, I shied away from the camera. Maybe it had to do with the 65 pounds I gained during my pregnancy. I didn't feel radiant- didn't see that "glow" everyone speaks of. I only saw enormous, swollen feet and my double chin. Admittedly, I know it sounds vain, and I regret those feelings.
With that said, this time around, I knew I didn't plan on having more, and I was not going to miss my opportunity for gorgeous maternity photos! (Hey! Third times a charm, right?) I changed my mind-set, and embraced my pregnant body! After all, these nine months are arguably the most special and meaningful time in a women's life. I wasn't going to let that little voice in the back of my head remind me of my stretch marks and “cankles”! So the simple answer is, yes! Maternity photos are absolutely worth it! In the midst of it all, you may feel that your pregnancy has gone on for decades. But, the reality is these nine months will fly by quicker than you anticipated. As time goes on, you're going to miss that bump! The truth is, while pregnancy is hard, it truly is magical. You're growing a new life inside that belly. Having maternity photos to look back on will be a forever cherished memory- not only for you but for your children to see.
