Pregnancy portraits have become nearly de rigueur for mothers-to-be these days. You're glowing; you're ripe; you want to capture the intense beauty of the experience for your family to gaze at forever after. Just remember, you're also hormonal and perhaps not making the wisest of choices.
Enter Awkward Pregnancy Photos.
BuzzFeed ran a selection of them recently from a poster named RAN who encountered some on Facebook. His comment: "Is this really a new trend? God, I hope not."
Well, RAN, you're going to be sorely disappointed, because there are plenty more like this one out there that are FAR more awkward.
You've probably seen the site awkwardfamilyphotos.com by now (if not, check it out and be endlessly entertained). Well, they have a whole section devoted to awkward pregnancy photos.
Here's are a few of my favorites.
A tire? Seriously? I have no words.
Is she considering jumping?
Watermelon? Gun? So many questions, I can't even begin.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen some gorgeous pregnancy portraits too. They weren't my thing, but as long as the parents-to-be like them, then it's their business ... unless, of course, someone submits them to a site like this.
Have you had pregnancy portraits taken? Would any of yours make this site?

OK, that last one with the watermelon and the gun is just... bizarre.
I think she means that pregnant women love their watermelon and if you try to take hers she'll shoot you. I felt the exact same way. Just never thought to put it into a picture, LOL!
That naked and tire one... Yeah... I dunno.
The one on the bridge, that's just for pretties.
HAHAH.
No, I don't have any awkward ones. My DH was the photographer :)
Hahaha! Those are so awesome! I wonder if these were taken at home or in a studio (barring the outside one, of course) In my crazy nesting stage (I once organized my husbands sock drawer, refolding all the socks so they'd be the same size and organizing them according to color in the middle of the night...when I say crazy, I mean crazy!) someone would have died if they rolled a dirty a*% tire into my home! lol
I don't have any awkward photos like that. I just took belly pics throughout the months to show how much he was growing.
hahahahahaha
Love the one with the watermellon and the gun... you are so right... so many questions!
i agree wth pishyah... she will shoot you if you take her melon!
The worst thing about that watermelon photo? When I was telling my husband about it, I said, "hey awkwardfamilyphotos.com has a pregnancy section..." He says..."Oh, is there a picture of Erin, with a watermelon and gun?" "Wait, you've seen them?" "Oh, no." He says "I just know Erin, and look, I already have that picture here on my desktop."
This last comment before mine is hilarious.
