Maternity Photos

<div style="text-align: center;">Hello Friends!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Everything is going great with our baby so far and I just wanted to share with you some of our Maternity photos today since I will also be having my BABY SHOWER as well on this day, set-up and planned by my girlfriends, I'm so excited to see what they've come up with!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I think Demi Moore started the trend when she went on a magazine cover naked with her belly out. But no matter what you think of it now, Maternity photos have taken a huge chunk of the photography business too!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I never had one with my 2 boys for 2 reasons: 1) It wasn't the "thing" back then & 2) We probably couldn't afford it too! ;-)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
