Hi mommys,
What happened to us was, we actually were in a position to pay a substantial amount of money for a bump to baby shoot in February last year. I'd followed the photographers page for over a year, she was listed as a credible business on the Mommy Facebook groups, ect, so I thought she was legit and so we went for it and did an immediate payment planning to do the shoot in July.
Literally the very next day, said photographer (I am not going to name her or her business because I don't want to give her anymore attention than she's already got) was outed by numerous women for either never actually doing the photoshoots or if people were actually "lucky" enough to get theirs done, they'd never get the pictures!
The really sad thing is, she targeted pregnant women, women who'd just given birth and women who needed a wedding photographer. Needless to say all of her pages were taken down and numerous women opened cases against her to try and get there money back.
I was pregnant, so obviously very emotional and just not in the mood to take this women to court. Then of course Covid hit and our business (like many others) took a huge knock. By the time I was 36 weeks pregnant we still didn't have the funds to pay for another shoot to be done.
So I had a look through Pinterest and found a few fun pics to recreate and my fiance took them on his phone. Sure people were looking at us like we were insane, it was after all the 25th of July - so winter - and there was this extremely pregnant women posing on the beach. But I didn't care.
This was taken a year ago today and exactly a week later my daughter decided to pop out.
So if you're in a similar predicament right now, go and have a look at Pinterest for options and get hubby to take your pictures. (Perhaps not beach pictures right now, given the chemical spill)
These are and will remain some of my favourite pictures of all time.
