It’s my turn in front of the camera….My Maternity Pictures

So, I went back and forth on should I or shouldn’t I have maternity pictures taken.  It was a huge debate with myself only because this could or could not be my last pregnancy and back when I thought I couldn’t have any more babies I really regretted not having maternity pictures.  Now, when the time came for me to have them done I went through what all of us women do, the feeling of inadequacy and self doubt.  I look and feel so fat and wasn’t sure I wanted that to be captured.  So, I finally talked myself into it and I’m so glad I did, because I truly treasure these pictures.  My good friend Sara Ratcliff took these for me so I didn’t have to keep setting up my own shots and trying to accomplish the impossible on my own.  She did amazing and captured exactly what I wanted. I feel so blessed to have her as my friend.

You’ll have to tell me which one is your favorite….I’m wanting to order a canvas and I’m having a hard time picking one. :-)

So here I am at 33 weeks Pregnant…..

February 15, 2011 - 6:36 pm Kylee Hoffert - Wow!! You look so beautiful! I love these pictures! I am so glad you had them done! I remember you telling me you regretted not taking maternity pictures right around the time we were planning my maternity photo's :). I can't wait for your baby to come!! :) My favorites - #5, 6, and 10!

February 15, 2011 - 7:03 pm Lisa Esplin - Janelle-I love all the pics. I have to say my favorite is the vintage black and white one on the right about 3 down. Love it. Any of them where you can see your beautiful smile are great. You are so pretty. I'm glad you're doing so well. I hope we can come to AZ sometime to see you guys!! Xoxo-lisa

February 15, 2011 - 7:37 pm Kristin owens - You are So beautiful!! I would have a hard time picking out of those too. My two favorites are the one of you laying on your back and then the one right after that of you standing up holding your stomach and your hair. CUTENESS! You are gorgeous! GLOWING for sure! Congrats again and can't WAIT to hear when she makes her arrival! ( :

February 15, 2011 - 7:49 pm Stephanie Moore - OH girl these are gorgeous! I dont think I could ever pick a favorite. I love the first one but the lighting in some of the others is so dreamy! You look beautiful, you should definitely get a canvas, a story board would be super cute too. OH did I mention I love the last one too? I guess I didn't help w/ your decision, sorry but they are beautiful!

February 15, 2011 - 7:56 pm Dawn Cooper - These are gorgeous!!! I can't pick a fave either..but you look amazing! Hope you're glad you had them taken!

February 15, 2011 - 8:38 pm Melissa Miller - First off you are nowhere near fat at all!! and second you are an amazingly beautiful pregnant girl! Totally jealous lol My absolute favorite one is the 4th picture down from the top of you laying down holding your baby smiling and glowing! Amazing! Hope you are doing good!

February 15, 2011 - 9:52 pm Katie Berryman - Number 6!! I love that one! You look fantastic!

February 16, 2011 - 3:17 am Candace - I LOVE the last one, so gorgeous!

February 16, 2011 - 8:45 pm Jennifer Wyeth - LOVE them! You're so smokin' hot, even preggers. I just want to hug you, I'm so darn happy for you!!! My personal fave is the one on the blanket or the one just under it or the last one. Your smile is so YOU. And that's how this little angel needs to see you. Happy and real. But, every last one is stunning so no matter which way you go, it will be a winner. Your friend did a great job. I seriously can't wait to see pics once baby arrives.

February 19, 2011 - 12:17 am Zoe D. - They're all gorgeous! My vote is the one of you lying on your back. Even though your face barely shows, it looks like you're bonding and playing with your baby-to-be. Very sweet.

February 22, 2011 - 1:44 pm Michelle Barbeau - they are all gorgeous but my favourite is the last one!

February 22, 2011 - 8:42 pm Celesa - Janelle you look absolutely beautiful. You are all belly girl! You look so happy and I can't wait for your little to make an appearance on your blog! Congratulations again.

March 7, 2011 - 9:25 pm Kasey - These are so gorgeous! I love them all - I can't wait to see which one you pick :)

March 9, 2011 - 9:13 pm Staci - I just asked Amy at family dinner..."Is Janelle pregnant?" and I was so HAPPY to hear the answer was YES & DUE SOON!!! Congratulations, you are BEAUTIFUL & I am so glad you took pictures, because you are gorgeous!
