38 Week Pregnancy Photographs – Just a Little Bit Soppy

Something you will rarely see is a sensible photograph of me. I am the least photogenic person of everyone I have never known and this translates into me NEVER letting people point a camera at me. My OH is also the least “couply” man in the world and doesn’t even like me posting photo’s of the two of us on Facebook. As a result, we really haven’t taken any photo’s of us together (or at all really) since becoming pregnant.

So it was fairly surprising to find out that he’d asked a friend of his (a great photographer) to come and take some pictures of us together before the baby arrives. A sudden streak of soppyness from my dear OH and a nightmare for me and my completely photo-phobic face!

Some of the shots are below. I still hate my face but I think our friend definitely made the best of a bad situation where my camera-awkwardness is concerned and I’m really chuffed that we’ll have some photo’s to remember the pregnancy by.

      We wouldn’t have either Sarah if it wasn’t for him surprising me! We’re really not photo people but I’m definitely glad I gave in just to get a couple of shots :p
