Honest opinions urgently needed please ladies!!

[flexilexi394]

Basically before i was pregnant i did a bit of modelling and have befriended a very nice photographer, who is lovely. Anyway chatting to him yesterday, he said he will do some of me and bump! like nice ones not chavvy naked ones.

So my thoughts are, for grandparents and stuff, and my mummy and daddy and OH's family was to frame some pictures of me pregnant and use them as pressies??

Honestly tell me what you think.

they all have photos plastered round their houses of kids and stuff and grandkids, so thats what made me think they all may quite like that!

my dads side parents live in Texas and never get to see us really so thought a picture would be nicer than anything else.

If you think its tacky and a bit cheesy please say, i really suck at ideas for presents so this would really help me if you let me know if its a bit crummy.

thanks in advance! xxx

I think it's a great idea as long as he is someone you trust - have you met him before or can you take someone with you? I'm a photographer and have done pregnancy photo shoots, and I think they'd make lovely presents x

Personally if someone presented me with a pic of them pg I wouldn't know what to do! But I'm not one of those people who have a million and one pics of my kids, let alone my sisters kids, or any other family members so I'd find it quite an odd pressie. If the people you'll be giving them too are 'photo' people ie have loads of pics of family around then it sounds alright. I wouldn't find it cheesy, just a bit weird. Think to have them done for you and your partner is nice though. Sorry to be so blunt x x

I had some photos done of my bump a few days ago. They are mostly just for me and OH to remember this time but I had various ones done, ones with tops on and ones with just bra on so I guess you could give some to family with top on - I'd feel a bit weird going round my mil house to see a picture of me semi-naked on the wall lol. Maybe a double photo frame with you on one side, pregnant, and one of bubs on the other when its born.

I'd agree make sure it's someone you really know and trust doing the shoot.

 

[Emmamb]

Yeah I think bump on 1 side and baby on the other is a good idea...I'd love to have 1 done but I haven't got the body 4 it lol. My friend had some done...they look anazin but r v personal to her,she's naked on it but it's in black and White so doesn't look as chavvy lol

lexi-if u look on my friends list on facebook,look for some1 called Kerry jones,I think she has the pic as get profile pic xxx

 

[rainbow dancer]

i think it is alovely idea. and when little one grows up its also nice for them to see you with them in tummy (if that makes sense) lovely idea. or what you could do is like a double pic and have you and bump in one half then baby once born on the other?? xx

 

[LouiseB]

I think that it's a nice idea, but i personally think i'd wait until i had a pic of baba too and send them together - kind of like "me pregnant and the resulting baby" just to put it into context.

But eitherway sound nice too me, not nekkid though.

A nekkid one would be for me

 

[setdse]

I think it a lovely idea. i'm not having a professional shoot but im taking a pic of my belly every week to see the changes. And think its amazing. Loads of my family who are too far away to see are asking for pics of my scans, bump when i start showing and when baby is born! Would be lovely to make into a card to send as an announcement of arrival!

 

[xxClaire_24xx]

hmmm I dont know I think its a great idea and they can loko great and natural but I dont think I would like to go into someones house and see one of the pictures on the wall, but each to there own hun if your comfprtable with it then yeah go for it xx

 

[isobel84]

[lealea85]

thats a beautiful idea hunny.
me and the OH are gonna get some done. then some after baby are born.

 

[JJ Mum]

Lexi, great idea, be lovely to look back on later - but If me, I would also wait and add a baby one too , so that you had the set before sending, or if you wanted for xmas pressies, how about get a two window frame and put just the one in, so you can give it to them , and then send them the other photo after baby arrives in Jan (then they can see it comes from a set of 2)

I take home photots of bumop pics every week, which I love to keep, and mates can see, but my family don't have them, I imagaine it's a step too far for my mum and dad, they are a bit more traditional in what they expect, but you never know, they might surprise me.

How many weeks fat are you going to get them done? as I thought you had only just started showign a little bump as your soooo fit, with all the gym stuff

 

[FebMum2Be]

Lovely idea I'm doing photos of Odhrán as part of my parents and OH's parents Christmas presents xx

 

[amy samantha]

I think this is a lovely idea X

 

[flexilexi394]

Great feedback girls, I'm a little torn as some of you have bought to light it's a little wierd lol, I'm not sure if I like the idea so much now, I may just do it and like some said leave a gap for one of baby or just scrap the presen idea and have pics done when baby is born. I know the photographer as he did my portfolio and loooaaddsss of shoots with him, and he won't let me go on my own and stuff. And they would be fully clothed prob with OH. I may get them
done anyway and see what I feel nearer the time. I would be looking sort of November December time as I'm guessing I'll look fairly pregnant by then! X

 

[Princess81]

IMO its a v, nice idea x

 

[Sam's Mum]

I'd definitely get them done anyway, even if they're just to keep for yourself. It's a lovely reminder of your pregnancy if you do decide not to give them to anyone. I'll pm you a link to some of mine x
