How to Prepare for a Maternity Shoot

With fall right around the corner, it's the perfect time to get maternity pictures done. I've been trying for weeks to try and put together the perfect outfit and poses for pictures and I finally stumbled across these two articles. The first article is from Buzzfeed and has a great collection of 38 different poses and props to use. The second article is from Life As Mama's blog and deals with insanely cute outfits and tips to show off your cute not-so-little bump.

100 Little Things About Pregnancy, Birth, and Being a First Time Mom

Today as I was looking around at different articles and looking at different blogs, I came across Adriel Booker's blog called I Still Belong. It's been a while since she's posted anything but the last post she did was called, 100 Little Things About Pregnancy, Birth, and Being a First Time Mom. I read it and absolutely loved it. She realistically pointed out the things that first time moms needs to know like not having to follow a strict schedule and that every baby is different in a variety of ways. Everyone loves coming up and telling you what you need to be doing instead of what you actually are doing and Adriel does a fantastic job of explaining how you need to go with your gut feeling instead of by the book.
