I want one of each, please / Image by Kelly Hicks

I don’t know if I’m trying to make up for my lack of an identifiable baby bump at nearly 19 weeks, or if I simply adore the pregnant silhouette, but I can’t stop looking at (pinning, favorite-ing, bookmarking) maternity photos. Or rather, photos of pregnant women—I like the less formal approach.

Including the professionally arranged and also the spur-of-the-moment shot, here are a handful of my favorite, unusual and beautiful pregnancy photos. I want one just like all of them.

Aside from its unusual crop, this photo is airy, bright and beautiful.

Maternity photos can be so cheesy that I’m almost against them in most cases but this has given me new hope that they can be beautiful. I love the soft light in several of these.

I totally agree with the previous commenter (Melanie).

I especially love the Kelly Hicks and Aura Joon pics. I only wish my silhouette was this pretty when pregnant. These are soft and real and have a documentary like feel to them. What a wonderful way to document a little life beginning inside you. Beautiful.

I totally agree, Melanie and Valerie. These gave me new hope.
