Photographer recs/ maternity pic inspirations/ when to get done
1. I need some photographer recommendations (for maternity pictures).
2. If you've had pictures done or know of a blog that you follow that has awesome pics please share the link so I can get some inspiration ideas.
3. If you've had maternity pictures, or plan to get them done, when is the best time?
Re: Photographer recs/ maternity pic inspirations/ when to get done
Here's mine!
I went around 31 weeks. Any longer and I would have been a giant blob of swollenness. Try pinterest for some inspiration pics!
I had zero stretch marks until the last few weeks and now I'm covered in them:(
Obviously I have no personal experience yet, but I was told 28 to 36 weeks is ideal - you have a nice round belly, but aren't TOO huge. Again, this is not based on personal knowledge, of course!
I agree Pinterest is a great place to search for inspiration.
I haven't decided yet if I'm doing any - I think I probably will if I can work out a time with Jason Angelini when I'm in Florida sometime, or if he makes a trip up this way.

I agree with the others about the timing, 28-32ish is the best. As for photographers, one I have used is www.sundaydressphotography.com she is a family member and a very talented photographer. She is very naturey, as you can see. Most of the maternity shots on her website are people I know, 1 is a very good friend of mine.
Another site I've seen that I like is www.sargeantstudios.com out of Lakeland. She is a friend of my former roommate and her stuff is awesome.

I will be doing them for sure.. I love being in photos (yeah I'm slightly photo whorish) and since I work with so many photographers I have not decided yet who I'm going ot use, but here are a few of my top pics are far as the style I would want personally. They all do a lot of the softer-feel, light photos - not sure if that makes sense but that's the only way I know how to describe it..

Thanks for sharing! I love the idea to include a baby book, also your dog. They look great!
We had our e-pics there.
Wow, that was some lucky timing! Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for the ideas everyone!
