maternity photos that aren’t lame.

Let’s be honest.
Maternity shoots can be pretty lame.

It’s pretty much always the same.  I’m not blaming maternity photographers.  I mean….how many ways can you photograph a pregnant belly?  There just aren’t a lot of options and it’s not terribly exciting (in my humble opinion)  

Well, after seeing this photo shoot over at the lovely blog Bow Tie & Bustle I was proven wrong.  The theme was “A Bun in the Oven” conceptualized and styled by Jenn Elliott Blake of Bow Tie & Bustle events and styling and the photos were taken by Monica of Mo Hines Photography.  Such a fun shoot!  So, without further ado, I give you:

A Bun in the Oven….












This shoot makes me want to have a pregnant belly….
and some chocolate chip cookies :).

Hope you enjoyed!

  1. That’s SUPER cute! I love clever shoots!

  2. What a sweet shoot! I love this idea.

  3. oh how cute! these are very creative!

  4. This is adorable!

  5. Love this! When I’m pregnant I want to have a fun maternity shoot like this. It’s so creative!

  6. Aw fun!

  7. It makes me want to have a pregnant belly too! This looks like a much more fun way to capture the preggo experience!

  8. Love this! Shes so adorable

  9. Sydnye from The Daybook just announced that she’s preggo. Her pictures are super cute (her holding whatever her baby is the size of). Today she’s holding a lemon. I think that’s cuter than just the plain shirt-pulled-up-just-over-the-belly progress pictures, but I love THIS shoot as a husband and wife/official photo shoot. So cute and totally you!

  10. I’m not a huge fan of exposing your pregnant belly for photos. I would feel so uncomfortable doing that. I’m not really keen on maternity photos and probably won’t even do it unless someone offered to take them for free or something. I would rather wait until I have the baby and have pictures taken of her. With that said, this shoot is totally cute and casual which I really like.
    I actually know someone who took “sexy maternity photos.” Some of them were literally of her crawling on the floor in a black bra and red heels. Sooo disturbing.

  11. What a clever idea!!! Love these photos!!! 🙂

  12. I loves these photos. That is totally something I would do because like you, I believe pregnancy photos aren’t the best!

  13. Those are, by far, the cutest and least awkward pregnancy photos I’ve ever seen! So cute!

  14. That’s really creative! Love it. 😀

  15. Those pictures are super cute…the concept is awesome and I love all the bowl pictures as just cute pictures but if I paid for maternity photos and got a bunch of bowl shots I don’t know if I’d be happy…there prob are more belly shots than we saw but just sayin! Maybe they didn’t even pay for them so it doesn’t even matter. Ok I’m rambling. And I want a cookie now. What time do you take your lunch? We should walk over and come hang out!

  16. That makes two of us! I want a husband and a tummy and cookies!! Super cute shoot Lauren. Someday when I’m a knocked-up wife, I’ll have you snap some shots. 🙂

  17. That first picture is so beautiful! And this is a really cute idea.

  18. Have you seen the maternity shoot that Elizabeth at E tells tales did? It was so cute. And you are correct, there are some horrific maternity shoots out there.

  19. Super adorable! I’ve definitely seen some bad photo shoots out there too. Pregnancy makes you do some funny things:-) xoxo

  20. what a creative idea, I love it!
