I finally did it!
Dh has the kids at his parents' house, I have the whole place to myself, and I thought "I'm finally going to take those pregnancy shots...."
Little explanation: I've been pregnant three times, and this is definitely my last child. Every single time I wimp out of taking pretty pregnancy shots (even simple ones), and every single time I've regretted it. I never have shots of my pregnant body just as it is (no clothes or other things masking the shape), and after a while I've always wanted to look at and remember how round it is, how curvy...how pregnant I looked.
So today, I did it.
I set up my tripod in front of some sheer curtains with the light coming through, took off clothes layer by layer, posed my belly and covered my bits, and took photos. They're AWESOME!
So soft, so silhouetted...exactly what my mind always wants to remember, captured in a photograph. Feels glorious.
I took a few nudes, but most of my favorites are while wearing a bra and a clinging white tank. The light was fantastic.
So
...I know it's a silly thing to post or to talk about, but I thought I'd put it out there....if anyone is thinking they might want to do it themselves, it's totally do-able. Do it! The whole putting yourself between a tripod and a sheer curtain really works.
And it's fun. And even though I'm carrying an extra 50 pounds I wish I wasn't, I feel gorgeous.
As I'm getting ready to put this part of my life behind me (having babies, being a mom to very young children), I'm so glad I did this. No more regrets.
