Pinning it Down {4} Maternity Photos

We're Pinning it Down at Pam's today, so make sure you head over to play along!

 

One of my more useful pinboards is the one I call Photography Inspiration. This is where I bookmark articles and tutorials that I'd like to read as well as photos that inspire me. I've seen a lot of couple maternity poses lately, so this last weekend I dragged Andy out into the winter chill to see if we could snap some of our own.

The first problem, of course, is that we didn't have a professional photographer to bring along with us. No worries! My oldest daughter is a wonder-child. :) I set the camera up on a tripod, composed the shot as best I could, and put her on shutter-clicking duty. I was mostly happy with our results. I did make a few mental notes (like: don't stop down so low! your photos are blurry!) and I think I could do a better job setting up the camera next time.

The second problem is that I don't look pregnant enough in these photos. I like to look HUGE, you know, so I wish I had picked a different color top. Who wants a slimming dark color when they're 9 months pregnant? Not me, thank you! ;)

Oh, right. We did get a little carried away. Sometimes we have a hard time taking ourselves seriously.

And it totally looks like he's taking me down in this last one, but I promise you he didn't. I, however, think this is the best picture of my bump out of the whole lot of them. And the view of Andy ain't so bad, either. ;)

If we can keep this baby in the oven for another week or so, I may just have to dig up more maternity poses and talk Andy into taking some more shots. It was really fun!
