   How many weeks pregnant should you be when going for preg belly photoshoot?
 im worried about leaving it too late as some thing tells me shell come a little early...my baby shower is right when i turn 34weeks.
 
 ALSO LADIEZ: any suggestions as to a good priced photographer in my area, say kapiti-palmy north would be great!
 
 thanks ladiez

   I'd go between 35 and 37 weeks.
 After 37 weeks I started retaining water so looked bloated and over it. 35 weeks you still look good    |

   I had mine done at 37 and I wish I'd had them done a bit earlier as had a bloated face by this stage!

   I think I am going to get mine done the last wknd in August, so approximately a month before i'm due.  My friend who is a photographer will be up here that wknd for my baby shower, so figure i'll take advantage of that.
 I will be 34wks then too

   Depending on the size of your belly I'd go 32 - 33. I started getting rather obvious stretch marks after that so I wouldn't put it off much longer. Although you could just edit them out after if you want to be a bit rounder      |

   The lady I mentioned has just said on her FB page that her next promo is for preggy shots. So you could win a free shoot I'm guessing    |

   No worries    Good luck. I'll vote for you when it comes down to it and round up my troops to do so too    I can't wait for my babyshoot with her next month. I also won a free 8x12 print. Yahoo.
 Fingers crossed for you x

   I had my pics done at 38 weeks. I wasn't going to do them but at the last minute changed my mind, hence being so late, luckily for me I didn't get any stretch marks until I'd given birth so it all looked ok still.  My photographer recommended doing them at 36 weeks. I had them done at Waiterere beach by Merrin Easton, it was only $250 for a pregnancy shoot and a newborn shoot www.merrineastonphotography.co.nz

   wow! THEY ARE GORGEOUS HUN!
 the thing is DH doesnt see how it costs so much really specially when some put like 30min time frames on,...
 
 what comes in your package for the two shoots at $250??? maybe that would help him understand, i want this so bad but all he sees is the figures.

   Actually looking again I think I paid $180 for a half package (doesn't include an album). We got 2x 2hour photo shoots and all the images edited and on disc (I think there was about 100 altogether), I was a bit reluctant to spend any money on pics either but it is a great keepsake and way to remember the pregnancy. We wouldn't have been able to get anything nearly as nice doing DIY |
