Maternity photo shoot

The weekend we spent up in the North Cascades we were walking around Sun Mountain Lodge when Cameron snapped a couple pictures of me. Before I knew it, I had turned it into a mini maternity photo shoot. Over the course of this pregnancy, I have gone back and forth between wanting professional photos taken and not. I will be the first to admit I would rather be behind the camera instead of in front of. When I am getting my picture taken solo I tend to feel awkward and don't know exactly what to do with my body.

Although I have never considered myself photogenic I love these photos because of what they represent. I love this little person growing inside of me more than life itself. So I share these because I am proud to be carrying this little guy and ecstatic for him to be born so I can take a zillion photographs of him, instead of me. 

How about you, do you like to have your photograph taken or do you tend to shy away from the camera?
