My belly still isn’t as big as I would want it to be for bare belly stuff, but this photog is moving so it’s now or never. Plus I want to wear dresses! Definitely not about being against bare belly pregnancy shots for any modesty reasons though. I think modesty is about respecting your body and not using it as a sexual object. I’m not sure posting my stretch mark riddled belly would turn anyone on.

I think I’m going to convince TH to drive down to the bluebonnets with me and do some bare belly stuff right before I deliver. The benefit of having my own camera I think!

Do you have to file your real nails down to put the tips on? I don’t like wearing tips because filing down the tops of my nails makes me sad. Also because I hate typing with them on (something I obviously do a lot!)

I am treating myself to a mani-pedi as well! I’ve been really frugal with my “personal care” area of the budget so I can splurge this month. I’m thinking blood red toenails with white hearts on the big toe would be oh-so-cute, especially for this time of year!

Ha! I laughed at your comment about too much color, only because it’s so true. Happily, this is one of those times where I get to do what I want without any input from him. Sometimes I welcome his opinions, other times, I just want to do what I think is best.

Don’t we always have to find at least one thing to pick apart when ti comes to important events? I admit I’m being incredibly picky here as it just wasn’t everything I wanted.

Oooh, wish I had been able to get a headband to you in time for these! I love your outfits and am SO psyched to see your pictures. I adore maternity shoots. Makes me want to be pregnant just to have a maternity shoot…j/k…mostly…

I love the second dress (the purple one) – I think it will look great on you!

I’m curious, why no bare belly shots? You’ve posted them on your blog before so I’m assuming it’s more about doing a different kind of maternity shot, and less about modesty. But I’d love to know your thoughts on it!

I definitely like the first hairstyle, and a more natural makeup. You still want to look like you, just a wee more glam

I didn’t know you won that contest! Yay! Good for you and good for you for splurging on yourself for your maternity shots, I love the second hair with the poof and the last eye look… love the dresses and you are going to be beautiful! I can’t wait to see the outcome!

First, I thought that your hair looked great for your wedding. Second, I can’t wait to see the end result. I like the idea of the loose curls!

Oh this makes me wish I had done a professional maternity shoot when I was pregnant. Maybe next time! Pregnancy really is a beautiful thing…especially in retrospect when you don’t have any of the aches and pains:)

Love the hair ideas and any of the makeup options look gorgeous.

I would say on the hair and makeup thing to make sure and do a test run…I did have a makeup person and a hair person on my wedding day, but I did not like how it turned out and wished I would have done it myself. No one knows your face like you do.

I have heard that many celebs wear fake eyelashes for photoshoots and my SIL used to get fake eyelashes (professionally put on at a salon) in just the edge of her eyes and it looks awesome! Definitely a great confidence booster that photographs very well.

Nails. I just discovered these awesome nails at Wal-Mart. Revlon Naturally Chic French manicure medium length. They are $7.50ish a box and have several sets in each box. It includes everything you need…file and glue. I saw it on a tv show and put mine on 4 days ago and they look awesome and it’s way easier than keeping up my natural nails…but I have bad nails, and maybe you have nice pregnancy nails:) But just in case you know:)

Fun fun!

What a lovely idea! Will your make- up include a nice manicure? Whether you do that our not, be sure to get you hands in some pictures. This 50 plus lady who had 6 children, & used cloth diapers for all (so hands were in lotsa water to rinse them) wishes that she had a picture of her hands from the early pre-abuse days.

Can’t wait to see the photos! I still adore your wedding photos. I would kill for shots like that.

Oh I’ve never seen this done before – I’m so excited to see yours!

I am really surprised about your wedding hair and makeup regret. Your look was and is pretty much my favourite wedding look ever (probably because it fits my person aesthetic). So don’t regret it, you looked gorgeous.

I don’t think you should do the Ashanti style, I think it might…date…or something. My favourite is Mrs. Bee. I can’t get my hair like that without the frizzies either. Boo.

I like makeup option #1. The others might be too much colour for TH, no? Kidding! Kidding!

I like Mrs. Bee’s hair the best. Does Katherine’s look remind anyone else of a “Glamour Shots” from the ’80s?

I love Mrs. Bee’s hair! That look is stunning! I think soft and natural is perfect for a maternity shot.

So excited for your shoot! You’re gonna look adorable… and I agree that Bee’s hair looked amazing in that shoot, so soft and romantic!

Be sure to send the info on time and whereabouts!!
