Oh, that. The serene gaze at the lovingly cupped belly. Poster below is right, this is strictly DH and a digital camera territory. The self-reverence is appalling. [ Reply | More

I know someone with one of these pictures in her family room! Her DH is photographed kneeling reverentially at her belly. I have to surpress my laughter every time I see it it is so awful. [ Reply | More

No, but who knows if they know the people in them or not. Lots of paintings and photographs are nudes. Besides, why laugh at your friends? Especially behing their backs. That doesn't speak highly of the friend ship. I've seen paintings that didn't suit me either (I actually thought they were dreadful), but hey one mans trash... [ Reply | More

I can like my friends and still think the photo is really silly. A photo of yourself while pregnant is not necessarily art, and if you are naked it should probably stay private. It's really no different than a regular boudoir photo, and people don't have those hanging in their living room. [ Reply | More

It's a naked or lingerie photo of yourself, people get them as gifts to their DHs. Maybe you've never seen one because they are typically private and not on public display. [ Reply | More

If she's a good photographer she'll have ideas. I used Abby (www.abbycope.com) and she was really creative - beautiful shots. We just talked together about what I wanted and then what I got was even more than I expected. and no, I wasn't nude, but if someone wants to be that's there prerogative. [ Reply | More
