Did I DIY my own maternity photos? Yes, yes I did Did I DIY my own maternity photos? Yes, yes I did 😂 might delete later, but truthfully? This pregnancy, that has been high risk, touch and go and a rollercoaster since 20 weeks had me in some rough spots at times. This was the first day I actually wanted to get myself together and I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t capture my bump at 34 weeks. We’re hanging on for as long as possible but I have a feeling she’ll be here soon❤️
