This time last year I was heavily pregnant and had a maternity photoshoot just a few days before I ended up giving birth! Apart from the tiredness and achiness, I LOVED being pregnant, and loved how I looked so I wanted to celebrate this with getting some decent photos 🙂
I chose the photographer, Leah Roberts, via a friend’s recommendation – I’d seen the amazing newborn shoot she’d done for them (she did our wonderful newborn pics too)
I arranged to meet her for the shoot in Ynysangharad park in Pontypridd and I showed her some of the bump photos I liked via Pinterest, as you can see I prefer ones that show off the bump more than the mum’s face etc…
So, here’s some of the beautiful photos I ended up with…. regular readers will know that I have one as the main image on my blog… here’s my faves….
I literally got hundreds of photos from the shoot, plus black and white versions of all of them – but I didn’t want to bombard you, and like I said – these are my faves! They bring back very happy memories and emotions from a year ago – while I loved being pregnant, I was very nervous about giving birth and becoming a mum!
What do you think? Did you have a bump photoshoot? Share your links if you did, I’d love to see them 🙂 Or maybe you disagree with the whole concept?!

They are gorgeous photos, Heledd. I think I prefer maternity shots that are more focused on the bump too. I never had a photography session like this as I’m far too shy and would’ve just felt hella awkward. I do regret it though as I only have a few dodgy phone pictures of my bump.

These are so so beautiful, such a special set of pictures to have too! I’d love to do a shoot like this but it may have to be diy with the other halves camera haha xx

I love these – they’re gorgeous.
I had a sort of a bump shoot – my other half is a photographer and he took some lovely shots of me when I was close to the end xx
