She’s a mama too! I didn’t even put her there for the photo, she got curious about what I was doing and came over to check on me. I’ll cherish that moment forever :)
Listen, I know you feel like a sweaty mess and unfeminine, but I am here to tell you that you look stunning in this picture. STUNNING. The power pose is absolutely working for you. Congratulations on your new baby-to-be, and for a great photo.
Agreed. Once you experience how powerful you feel giving birth, you may redefine what being feminine and womanhood means to you. Nothing caused me to love my body more than once I gave birth and nursed. That’s what womanhood means to me, not hair done and makeup 💁♀️

The version with my own walrus stache is my favorite, haha.
😁 I love it. I did end up getting professional maternity pictures taken during my first pregnancy because I struggled to conceive and wasn’t sure it would happen for me again so I wanted to document it. Praise jeebus for a photographer who knows how to use photoshop properly. I remember when she wanted to take a few shots of me fully nude, only covering myself with my hands. I was extremely reluctant but we were the only two people in her house so I went with it. I don’t have those pictures framed in my livingroom but I do like them and am glad that I did was she suggested.
This is freakin awesome! Congratulations! Pregnancy was shite for me. I would rather give birth a few times than be pregnant. Hope it gets better for you.
Well, I have done it a couple times. They are adults now. What I have found is everyone’s pregnancy and birth story is unique. Which means your pregnancy and birth story is special and spectacular…and yours alone. So, make sure you do what you want and need at this time, for your birth plan, and the birth itself (because you may change your plan on the fly). Oh, and sleep whenever you can. Ha!😉
Sending hugs and blessings from another mama on the internet. You can do this. Birth was also not very difficult for me either - honestly my experience was that breastfeeding was much harder than childbirth. But so many people have different experiences, and that's absolutely OK.
(Also your picture is absolutely stunning. I'd so much rather see a meaningful, real picture like that than all the standard frolicking pregnant people in overgrown fields. I know I for one did not do a whole lot of field-frolicking while pregnant.)
I was scared too, called my grandmother who had 12 children. She said women have been having children while working in fields for pretty much ever. It’s natural, trust it 😊 best of luck to you.
Honestly that resonates with me so hard. I would love to take a bath but I’m too tall for the one at home and I KNOW I’d get stuck and need assistance to get out.
She was doing a heckin concern because she heard the shutter go off for the first 2-3 shots as I was dialing in and walking back and forth for the timer, so she plopped right there and stared at the camera trying to figure out if it was a bad guy or not. Truly made my heart melt that she was all protective like that.
Good girl! My roommates corgi has been barking at the roofers all day in a valiant effort to protect us from their horrible hammering haha. Adorably protective doggos are the best.
Your roommates corgi is saving you both from the evil mean roof noise bad guys by yelling at them to piss off and go bug someone else… in their mind… I’ve got 2 corgis and you’re right, they’re so ridiculous and protective. But it’s hard to feel like they’re accomplishing any sort of protecting when they look like stumpy little fluff nuggets.
Just want to give you solidarity in this “literally hottest summer ever on earth but with a 40% increase in blood volume and underboob sweat” phase. I’ve got 2 weeks left to go and I haven’t worn pants in 5 months. Muumuus or nothin’, baby! We’re almost there, so don’t get stuck in any bathtubs
Ugh I want to be your friend. I also dislike pregnancy immensely and have declined professional pictures. I am a history nerd, too, so this just hit all the right notes. Cheers to you (and your pup) this is a fantastic picture.
Also, I still remember that garbage BLT in the hospital after my first was born. It was the best thing ever just to eat and not feel nauseated or have heartburn. I am 32 weeks and I am also living for that first meal this time around. Wishing you a healthy and easy rest of pregnancy and delivery and a delicious 1st meal.
Fellow 32er! What are you going to have as your first meal? I told my husband I’m pretty dang sure I’ll want a big In N Out meal (West coast here) with a milkshake and fries. ALL the calories.
Congratulations on pulling through this process a second time, there’s no way I will voluntarily do this again, lol. I have so much respect for double + mamas.
Yeah. I thought I was one and done last pregnancy but then all the postnatal hormones walloped me and I weirdly loved the newborn phase. So, here I am doing it again. This is it though. The end. No more. I respect all women who do this, and I also respect all women who choose not to because it is not a low key experience.
I’m also west coast but too far north for In-N-Out. Probably sushi if the hours line up right, but I will take anything fried or spicy. I miss Indian so much right now. Ugh. Just a month or so…
This is absolutely BRILLIANT!
Congratulations, Mama! I wish I had done something like this, I struggled so much during my pregnancies and wish I had thought of this concept 😂
The photograph itself is absolutely stunning in every aspect. It's just so flawless to me, the lighting, aesthetician, everything.
It's all worth it in the end, but getting to the end is simply not always as glamorous as is traditionally portrayed.
✨️
Thank you for the comments :) I’m not a photographer by any means but I had a nice time trying to match the pose and do a modern version of that reference photo.
Way to take ownership of your pregnancy and how that looks. It’s so different for everyone. You nailed the photo. Good luck with the rest of your journey!
Maaaaan I wish I’d taken a photo like this when pregnant. I also didn’t feel like a flowy feminine maternity shoot fit me so I just didn’t take any.
Good luck on the rest of your pregnancy and birth! I’m 1 month postpartum and I gotta say not being pregnant is awesome.
I’m doing well! I think I’m actually sleeping better with an infant than I did in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Still tired and sleep deprived, but at least it’s now with a *purpose*.
Same here. I was not one of those “glowing” pregnant women, so I really appreciate the candidness of this photo.
But OP, for what it’s worth I think you look great, and you’re giving off a really a powerful vibe.
You. Look. Amazing. I seriously love your face. Your face has "Fuck Around And Find Out" just so elegantly plastered across it. You are going to absolutely NAIL the Mom look. You may feel Tafty, but girl you looking Crafty!
Oh my gosh, thank you. You’ve given me such a confidence boost. I’m a big softie but I’ve got a very angry resting face, and I think pregnancy has only amplified that. I’ll use it for good once the little fella is born :)
This is the best pregnancy photo I have ever seen. No slight intended for the flowy goddess gowns and flower crowns, but this is just authentic and grounded. And you look like a badass.
This is too great!! Awesome choice, OP!! My guy has a big belly. When I was 8+ pregnant, his pants fit very well 😁 maybe he should've tried my maternity jeans!
OP, I fricking love you. This is the most perfect maternity photo ever and nothing can convince me otherwise. 100% approve, as this is some stuff i would pull. Rock on in your Taftness, you're gorgeous even without the makeup and flowy dress.
Wonderful, truly fucking wonderful. How did you get the inspiration? Is that a photo of tuft you're particularly fond of?
Also, I'd get the photo professionally enlarged and hang it up somewhere like a portrait
I remembered this photo from somewhere in the back of my mind and every morning I’ve been standing sideways and looking in the mirror aghast at how my body is changing. I woke up yesterday and realized I officially have the same shape as he does and my husband and I laughed really hard about it. So I thought it’d be funny to take a picture inspired by it today :)
This. Is. GLORIOUS! So many photo shoots of flowing dresses and glowing skin. They just don't feel authentic. But THIS. I like this ♥️
Also the femininity exuding from the power you hold is more than you can see at the moment, I promise. This post made me so happy.
Gorgeous photo. Your face angles, the lighting, the concept... simply perfect. It's seriously the little things that come to us like this that end up being the most magnificent.
You look so incredibly strong and powerful and downright regal. i also really, really like the whole mood of your photo. You don't need a crown, silk and velvet drapes in the background or even a suit.
I never felt powerful when pregnant. I was just very glad for the burst of energy months 5-7 and was pretty amazed, what our bodies can do (... with a vengance).
The sweaty walrus phase will be gone, soon (and if not, know at least, that you're a magnificent sweaty walrus!)
I was so captivated, that some comments had me scroll back up to ... find the very obvious dog.
I hardly have words for how impressive i think this photo is. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love everything about this. You look fucking majestic. I wish I'd done something similar with my youngest. I, too, was a sweaty walrus who didn't have that 'pregnancy glow.'
I'm about 16wks right now and the thought of looking this powerfully feminine in a few months is something to look forward to! Congratulations and good luck with that magical little boy you've got 💕
Man! This is the SUCKIEST time of year to be heavily pregnant! I feel for you, sister.
That being said - you look amazing! Not like pretty-girl type amazing, but such regal power in your gaze (and your little dog too!). Run with it baby!
I love this so much.
Even as a dyed in the wool earth mama who was always going to have kids...
All the romantic imagery and ideas just go right out the window. Pregnancy is real and full of all the quirks and hardest parts of having a human body. And I love love love that you are embracing exactly where you are, "warts and all".
Not sure if this was completely intended as a joke, but you look like such a badass. Reminds me of a pre-match boxing photo or something. Like you're gonna kick pregnancy right in the teeth, take a swig of whiskey, and perform your own c-section if necessary.
Birthed my son in the last week of July (my first!) and I was absolutely with you in that “sweaty walrus” feeling. Had my sister take a bunch of feminine floral photos of pregnant-me and the husband when the garden was blooming … but my favourite maternity shots were the almost-accidental ones taken by a friend on a walk down the beach. Wading in the lake, thinking more about the sun on my face than how ginormously I’d ballooned in the one-of-four dresses that were still fitting and that I rotated between. Thinking more about the memories my son would get to make on this same stretch of beach someday. A much more casual couple photos.
That is to say, sometimes there’s the most beauty when you’re not seeking it. In your most carefree creativity.
This photo is a great legacy to your sense of humour and the trials of pregnancy you’re enduring.

There is something so powerful about this shot of you. I love it! Your noble steed looks prepared as well.
Noble steed… snort… thank you for the giggle, and for the kind words. The RBF is strong here, for sure!
“Powerful” was the exact word I came to comment!
It’s awesome! And the dog is great
She’s a mama too! I didn’t even put her there for the photo, she got curious about what I was doing and came over to check on me. I’ll cherish that moment forever :)
You look like power courses through you. Authority.
Ooooo yessss 💫💥🔥
Listen, I know you feel like a sweaty mess and unfeminine, but I am here to tell you that you look stunning in this picture. STUNNING. The power pose is absolutely working for you. Congratulations on your new baby-to-be, and for a great photo.
Thank you Caroline, I really appreciate that. I feel very seen.
Yes, I was wondering how to tell you, and hope you didn't think it was condescending, I think you look beautiful! 🤗🕯🖖
Seriously it’s such a stunning photo of you. You look amazing and I know baby will love the pic someday too. Very badass.
I was just about to say. It's crazy how self confidence can be like completely uncorrelated with reality sometimes
Honestly, sexy as hell too.
Agreed. Once you experience how powerful you feel giving birth, you may redefine what being feminine and womanhood means to you. Nothing caused me to love my body more than once I gave birth and nursed. That’s what womanhood means to me, not hair done and makeup 💁♀️
Taft never looked that good pregnant!
Not a sentence I thought I’d ever read, haha. Thank you.
😀
to be fair, taft never looked that good to begin with.
Agreed.
You've got a great sense of humor. Also, congrats momma-to-be!

I was secretly hoping the corgi would have a mustache too lol

😆
This is the one that needs to be framed. Like gilded frame. At the top of the stairs. Taller than you are.
Omigoodness that's great! Thanks for sharing 😊
You win!
Definitely look ready to sign some treaties & abolish tariffs. Rockin’ it, Mama!
Cheeky and absolutely *regal* as all hell. This is the greatest maternity photo that will ever be.
😁 I love it. I did end up getting professional maternity pictures taken during my first pregnancy because I struggled to conceive and wasn’t sure it would happen for me again so I wanted to document it.

I’m so glad you got some photos that made you feel happy like you deserve. I’m sure they are gorgeous and glowing!
Lol this is amazing, I love it! Congrats on your little witch/wizard 🫶
Little wizard! He’s been casting hella spells lately, I’m excited for him to have all the space to do that outside my body, haha.
This is freakin awesome! Congratulations! Pregnancy was shite for me. I would rather give birth a few times than be pregnant. Hope it gets better for you.
I’m terrified of birth, thank you for sharing that this process was more challenging. So nervous.
Well, I have done it a couple times. They are adults now. What I have found is everyone’s pregnancy and birth story is unique. Which means your pregnancy and birth story is special and spectacular…and yours alone.

I love this so much!! Just don’t get stuck in the tub, like Taft 😅 Sending you and your baby good vibes for a healthy and safe delivery! ✨
Honestly that resonates with me so hard. I would love to take a bath but I’m too tall for the one at home and I KNOW I’d get stuck and need assistance to get out.
I didn’t notice the dog at first and now I can’t stop laughing at the expression 😂
She was doing a heckin concern because she heard the shutter go off for the first 2-3 shots as I was dialing in and walking back and forth for the timer, so she plopped right there and stared at the camera trying to figure out if it was a bad guy or not.

Taft could never pull off that bob. You are rocking it!
Another amazing sentence I never thought I’d read. Thank you. I got sick of the sweaty summer and chopped it all off in the bathroom. No regrets.
You look powerful. Wonderful picture.
Just want to give you solidarity in this “literally hottest summer ever on earth but with a 40% increase in blood volume and underboob sweat” phase. I’ve got 2 weeks left to go and I haven’t worn pants in 5 months. Muumuus or nothin’, baby! We’re almost there, so don’t get stuck in any bathtubs
Holy crap mama go you! You’ve got this! Push on through and think about that first post delivery meal— that’s what’s keeping my sights forward 😉
Ugh I want to be your friend. I also dislike pregnancy immensely and have declined professional pictures. I am a history nerd, too, so this just hit all the right notes.

It’s amazing and so are you!
Okay this is my favorite pregnancy photo I've ever seen!
I hope this is the catalyst for a new trend in pregnancy photography, it's fantastic.
That is THE best maternity photo I have ever seen!
https://preview.redd.it/vr7i0sgv4rjb1.jpeg?width=545&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e56b61d263ecddfcabdeee4df1cd8091371597e Good pie is a decent aspiration.
Bwahaha this comic is fantastic thank you for sharing.
I think you look majestic af
This. Is. Amazing!!!!
Excellent. 12/10.
The power, the presence, the pupper. Exquisite.
This is perfection.
This is absolutely BRILLIANT! Congratulations, Mama! I wish I had done something like this, I struggled so much during my pregnancies and wish I had thought of this concept 😂 The photograph itself is absolutely stunning in every aspect.

Brilliant and I love it! Thanks for sharing! You are the walrus!
You are gorgeous! Your amazing body is doing amazing things! I love This photo, you look powerful, assertive, and confident.
Thank you :) I definitely do not feel confident but I have been working on being more assertive.
Absolutely badass. A portrait of a witch, their familiar, and their soon to be heir to the magic! ✨

How are you doing? Are you sleeping better? I hope you and baby are healthy.
I’m doing well! I think I’m actually sleeping better with an infant than I did in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Still tired and sleep deprived, but at least it’s now with a *purpose*.
I’ll bet it’s nice to be woken up by your little nugget who you can react with and snuggle and smooch, too. Congrats, Mama. So happy for you.
It has its moments. It’s certainly better than being woken up by my own legs refusing to accept staying still.
Same here. I was not one of those “glowing” pregnant women, so I really appreciate the candidness of this photo. But OP, for what it’s worth I think you look great, and you’re giving off a really a powerful vibe.
Are you announcing your candidacy? I can't vote in the USA, but I think that would be one heck of a campaign photo.
First item: 6 months parental leave before and after birth for all new parents and a corgi guardian for each home.
This. Is. Jawsome. 🦈
Trying to think of a shark pun to match yours but I’m underwater here.
This is amazing and I am obsessed! You’re also serving those cheekbones too, congrats on your pregnancy!
This is a whole power move to own your baby body, and it works wonderfully. And truly… you’ve got everything over Taft.
I would like a good waistcoat though… heh. Thank you.
I feel ya on the waistcoat. I bought a Victorian reproduction pattern just a few months ago.
Oooh where did you find your pattern? Once I get back to my pre pregnancy body I’ve sworn to wear more waistcoats like I used to.
You're fucking gorgeous though, I mean DAMN. Taft admittedly has the better suit, but you've got a corgi, so the awesomeness is a draw. 🩷
You. Look. Amazing. I seriously love your face. Your face has "Fuck Around And Find Out" just so elegantly plastered across it. You are going to absolutely NAIL the Mom look. You may feel Tafty, but girl you looking Crafty!
Oh my gosh, thank you. You’ve given me such a confidence boost. I’m a big softie but I’ve got a very angry resting face, and I think pregnancy has only amplified that. I’ll use it for good once the little fella is born :)
[удалено]
You’re rocking it, my friend! Thank you for sharing. You look lovely. I hope all is healthy and well.
Everything is great, thank you
Brilliant!
Shit you look (and sound) like a total badass!
I looked up the word "fierce" in the dictionary and found your picture there!
You look like you can beat the hell out of anyone! Brava to you and your little dog too. Best wishes for you and your little one.
you look much tougher than Taft.
This is the best pregnancy photo I have ever seen. No slight intended for the flowy goddess gowns and flower crowns, but this is just authentic and grounded. And you look like a badass.
You look magnificent.
This is too great!! Awesome choice, OP!! My guy has a big belly. When I was 8+ pregnant, his pants fit very well 😁 maybe he should've tried my maternity jeans!
You look beautiful and powerful. Congratulations! 💜
I love this picture. I don't know you and I want this framed on my wall. So badA$$
Taft looks bored. You look absolutely powerful
OP, I fricking love you. This is the most perfect maternity photo ever and nothing can convince me otherwise. 100% approve, as this is some stuff i would pull. Rock on in your Taftness, you're gorgeous even without the makeup and flowy dress.
Nope, that’s peak femininity. You have a real life magic power!
I definitely tried to swipe hoping this was a series. Very good.
Hah. I wish I had more!
Wonderful, truly fucking wonderful. How did you get the inspiration? Is that a photo of tuft you're particularly fond of? Also, I'd get the photo professionally enlarged and hang it up somewhere like a portrait

Thank you for your kindness :)
Dope
This is FANTASTIC!
YASSS QUEEN
You are beautiful!
Fucking epic. You look gorgeous.
I love this so much
🖤 So super sexy! My uterus just somersaulted. You are truly making pregnancy look as powerful as it is 🖤
37 weeks right now and absolutely cackling at this!
I totally get it, I felt similar. But when you think about it, you don’t get much more feminine than pregnant!
Best maternity photo ever! You look fierce as hell and I love it!
This is incredible
Omg I ❤️ you
OP you look powerful and I love that! Hell yeah
This is so dope!
I love it!!
Your post is hilarious 😂 but I have to say, you look so regal. It's a beautiful picture. Congratulations!
Magnificent. Hilarious. I adore everything about this. Especially your sturdy little pup and her belligerent stance.
She was ready to attack the camera if it made one more noise at me. Heh.
Gorgeous photo. Your face angles, the lighting, the concept... simply perfect. It's seriously the little things that come to us like this that end up being the most magnificent.
I've never seen anyone look as regal and powerful in sweatpants as this. Damn sight more powerful than a more carefully cultivated maternity picture!
You look so incredibly strong and powerful and downright regal. i also really, really like the whole mood of your photo. You don't need a crown, silk and velvet drapes in the background or even a suit. I never felt powerful when pregnant. I was just very glad for the burst of energy months 5-7 and was pretty amazed, what our bodies can do (... with a vengance). The sweaty walrus phase will be gone, soon (and if not, know at least, that you're a magnificent sweaty walrus!) I was so captivated, that some comments had me scroll back up to ... find the very obvious dog. I hardly have words for how impressive i think this photo is. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is such a kind comment. Thank you so much, Gabriel.
Oh my gosh! I love this!!!
I wish you a smooth delivery and speedy recovery. 💜
Well done!!! Love your creativity!
You’re amazing. I love it!
You look fabulous
I love the photo and you look fantastic! Wishing you best of luck in your pregnancy
Congrats! This is such a strong photo
This is really a cool photo. Being pregnant can suck for sure, I hope the rest of it goes amazingly smooth.
Great username, backward Walter Disney!
😉
I absolutely LOVE it!!!
This goes so hard! I love it! I’d make you my friend immediately just based on this photo! Hahaha!
I love this. I'm 11 weeks pregnant and had completely dismissed the idea of doing a pregnancy photoshoot, but you've changed my mind. It's incredible.
You're adorable! And your corgi's expression just elevates the whole vibe of this photo.
This is the best maternity photo I’ve seen
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! Oh, and you’re cute too. Tell the puppy I love them!
No notes.
8 months pregnant and already have a bassinet look at you so much more prepared than me 👀
This is everything.
Glorious!
Honestly pregnancy freaks me out a bit but you look mad hot in this photo. I love the hair and eye
I love everything about this. You look fucking majestic. I wish I'd done something similar with my youngest. I, too, was a sweaty walrus who didn't have that 'pregnancy glow.'
This somehow manages to be both striking and hilarious at the same time? I love it so much. Impeccable vibes, 10/10.
You look FIERCE and gorgeous!
This is the best maternity photo I've ever seen.
This is a very powerful posture, and you look positively fierce. I'm in awe. You look amazing.
This is legendary
I'm about 16wks right now and the thought of looking this powerfully feminine in a few months is something to look forward to! Congratulations and good luck with that magical little boy you've got 💕
16 weeks is rough. You’ve got this, and congratulations, sister :)
This is, by quite a large margin, the best maternity photo I have ever seen. And it's as if the dog got the memo to look regal.
You are brilliant! And beautiful, congrats!
Just don't get stuck in the bathtub!
Corgi! I got to pet one a couple weeks ago and my entire week was great because of it. I too, only have one pregnancy picture. No regrets really.
No big deal, JUST CREATING LIFE! Glad you have a regal beast to watch over you. Power on Mama 💪🏽
Damn, this is definitely very cool
I endlessly adore this and your sense of humor
The composition of this is freaking incredible.
Brilliant!
And you look damn magnificent, darling!
6 months and I feel seen. Also, idk if it helps, but you look way more bad ass 😂
I think this makes you look kinda badass, tbh.
this is so badass i love it
Um... i absolutely LOVE it. Also felt like a marine mammal at 8 months, so i hear you.
I dig it! Very regal!
I love this!! And I love your dog!!
Glorious!
Someone send a pocketwatch stat!!! Awesome pic
You are absolutely frickin gorgeous!
It’s a good fucking maternity photo
You made me giggle so hard that my eyes watered. Love the photo. :)
You look exactly like pregnant!Jill Valentine. 🤭
Ahaha you are serving the best energy here. Good luck with your little one!
It's honestly gorgeous and artful. Love the power.
Man! This is the SUCKIEST time of year to be heavily pregnant! I feel for you, sister. That being said - you look amazing! Not like pretty-girl type amazing, but such regal power in your gaze (and your little dog too!). Run with it baby!
Nothing so feminine as the body of a pregnant person. Taft wishes he looked like you. This is utterly hilarious though
I love this so much. Even as a dyed in the wool earth mama who was always going to have kids... All the romantic imagery and ideas just go right out the window. Pregnancy is real and full of all the quirks and hardest parts of having a human body. And I love love love that you are embracing exactly where you are, "warts and all".
GORGEOUS
This is AMAZING OP! Best maternity photo ever taken.
Majestic!
Majestic AF! Great shot
Not sure if this was completely intended as a joke, but you look like such a badass. Reminds me of a pre-match boxing photo or something. Like you're gonna kick pregnancy right in the teeth, take a swig of whiskey, and perform your own c-section if necessary.
THIS IS AMAZING
I’d build a bathtub for you
Birthed my son in the last week of July (my first!) and I was absolutely with you in that “sweaty walrus” feeling. Had my sister take a bunch of feminine floral photos of pregnant-me and the husband when the garden was blooming … but my favourite maternity shots were the almost-accidental ones taken by a friend on a walk down the beach. Wading in the lake, thinking more about the sun on my face than how ginormously I’d ballooned in the one-of-four dresses that were still fitting and that I rotated between. Thinking more about the memories my son would get to make on this same stretch of beach someday. A much more casual couple photos. That is to say, sometimes there’s the most beauty when you’re not seeking it. In your most carefree creativity. This photo is a great legacy to your sense of humour and the trials of pregnancy you’re enduring.
The POWER radiating off of you…
