Bare your belly, strike a pose, and create a keepsake. Need a little inspiration? Check out these copy-worthy photographs...

Family fun
A pregnancy shoot doesn't have to be a solo mission. Include your other children or your husband. Having them there will guarantee a spontaneous and fun mood -- the key to great pics!

Not exactly nudey
Pull our all the stops to create a photo that oozes old-school glamour. Drape fabric over your body strategically to reveal only the parts you want to highlight (think Grecian goddess).

Artsy meets playful
Bring a few personal items to the shoot (like toys from the nursery or a tiny pair of shoes) to use as props. It's a great way to inject a bit of your personality into each frame, and your photos will be completely unique.
