Where have you or will you display your maternity photos?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I'm wondering about this as I'm getting some done this Saturday morning. DS will be in a couple and then the rest will be of just me. They won't be very artistic as I'm getting them done at JCPenney - a bit more on the conservative side, I would guess. But nonetheless, where would you display your photos? In your baby-to-be's room? In the LR or family room where other pics have been hung of the family?

Just looking for ideas. Thanks!

I don't have mine displayed in the house - just on our blog and in the baby's baby book.

I have one above the fireplace and one above the TV, but ours were very artistic. Will also put some in baby's room once she has one.

ETA: Fully clothed, of course!

I'm a part-time photographer, and I love the pregnant form, but honestly...I'm always a little weirded out when people have their preggo photos displayed prominently. Especially partial nudes.

I would display them in my own bedroom, or in the baby book, or in my own collection of photos. I would not get anything framed for public display.

Me too. I don't know why. My cousin has large maternity photos displayed in the hall that leads from her front foyer to her family room, so we walk by them every time we go over. They make me a little uncomfortable, and my sister jokes that they make my cousin seem a little narcissistic.

I'd put them somewhere you can enjoy them privately, or at least have them smaller and out of the way.

I haven't thought where I am hanging mine up yet...maybe a few in the nursery & definitely in my master bedroom...hmmm-mine are more in the "wrapped" clothing look, not nudes, nor clothing.

We put 2 of ours in small frames in the baby's room. However, I am fully clothed in the pictures (no bare belly showing) which made me feel more comfortable displaying them.

During my last pregnancy I did photo shoots every four weeks starting when I went off birth control. They are completely nude and fairly explicit. I think they are awesome. I made a really neat collage with them and put it in my bedroom. It's pretty cool to see how I changed through the pregnancy--things like I lost a lot of weight in my face/neck/arms so I look like I am shrinking towards the center. I figure that if you go into my bedroom you can deal with naked pictures of me. :P But I don't have any of them anywhere else in the house.

I have some on my blog and the rest in my DD's baby box. I wouldn't feel comfortable presenting one in a frame in my house anywhere.
