This is your reminder to take maternity pictures; DIY!

Okay so I had decided not to take maternity pictures due to the high cost since we don't have a lot of money and my maternity leave is 100% unpaid. Today at 39+4 I said F it and took my own at home with my phone and I am so glad I did! They came out exactly how I wanted and I think I look great despite having gained 20 lbs and rocking a double chin when I smile 😂. I don't even have a nice camera I just used my android phone and used portrait mode and tried to get some good angles. I wore a black bra and black underwear and slapped a black and white filter on them. I took some in my room and some in baby's room. Boom, done!

I'm so happy I took these pictures that I can have forever so I can remember this special time in my life. So I just wanted to send out a friendly reminder to all the new moms out there to not let social media trick you in to thinking you're less than just because you dont have the money to afford expensive photo shoots. Your pictures don't have to be perfect and neither do you. Even if you're feeling chunky or hurt looking, just take the damn pictures ! 😁
