Magic is what a woman experiences and feels when she's expecting. Most women want to document their ever growing bump every step of the way because she knows she won't stay pregnant forever.

Well, you've got 9 months to show off your gorgeous bump in front of the camera but sometimes, you wonder what is appropriate and what is not when it comes to doing a maternity photo shoot. The type of clothing you choose to wear obviously depends on how far along you are, the theme and how you want the pictures to look.

Without further ado, here are some cool ideas for your maternity photo shoots.

1. Go Naked

I think seeing a naked woman with a beautiful baby bump is the most beautiful sight when done tastefully. Now I've seen some that were not well-thought out and it looked, well...let's just say tacky!

2. A Fabulous Flowy Gown

Although a skirt may seem a little too professional for a maternity shoot, you can totally make it look chic and fresh with a cute top and a super cute jacket. Oh...you can't forget to accessorize with jewelry to make everything pop.
