{What to Wear} Baby Bumps | Gwinnett County Maternity Photographer

Back in 2003, when I was pregnant with my first son, there wasn't much in the way of "maternity fashion". Yes, there were the long shirts that had the cute little tie right above the bump, and who can forget those stylish maternity pants that covered your entire belly and stopped just shy of your neck. (I had two pairs...)

Gone are the days of ugly pregnancy duds. There are even entire stores dedicated to maternity clothes! I decided that when I got preggo again in 2007 that I would do it different. I continued to wear regular clothes to show off my bump. I did have to buy some maternity pants, but now they make them with just a small little elastic band at the top. I could deal with that. I didn't buy anything that I couldn't wear after I had my baby too. I found that buying just a size bigger was great for maternity and post-baby pudge. I bought regular elastic-waist skirts and wore cardigans that I already had. My clothes always do double duty!

So if you are expecting, here's my advice- show-off that belly, don't hide it! Form-fitting clothes are adorable on you! Here are a few of my favorite looks:

And for even more ideas and inspiration, I came across this great blog post!

{My Home} A Big Ol' Gallery Wall

I am always preaching to my friends, family, and clients about displaying photography as art in your home. What is more beautiful than images of your own family adorning the walls all over your house? But let's face it, we artists can talk a big game, but sometimes, when it comes to our own lives, we can let personal projects fall by the wayside.

So finally, with the help of some Pinterest inspiration, I pieced together my personal gallery. I actually had all of these frames lying around my house. Some I painted to give the gallery a more eclectic feel. I also wanted a few non-photo elements (you'll see those below). Then I had the agonizing task of deciding what photographs to use. I decided to use a mix of snapshots and pretty planned-out session shots. This wall was specifically for the four of us (other family members grace our hallway and tabletops), and I wanted to be sure we all made at least two appearances. I laid everything out on my living room floor, changing, moving, and perfecting until I was happy. And since it was blocking entry into the playroom, hubby decided to hang it that night!

So, after weeks of planning, this is what I came up with-

I decided to use a fun wooden 'H' that I painted cream to match the cream frames. The upper left squares are 6x6 canvases that I attached scrapbook paper to using homemade Modge Podge, aka, glue and water.

Since the wall is vaulted, I knew the gallery needed to be pretty tall, but I did leave room for expanding! Excuse the couch- I am trying to convince hubby that it is time to trade up!

I'd love to see your galleries! You can email me- ashley@hugghinsphotography.com and I will feature them here! Or, you can post them on the Facebook Page
