I did mine at 25 weeks so I wasnt super uncomfy  I think its worth it to have done, you just have to know if you want to do it each time or just the once 

Nah, didn't feel like forking out the cash since babies are expensive enough, I did my weekly belly shots just for my own fun, but didn't care about anything professional. I wasn't very fond of my body/belly either though. So I certainly wouldn't have displayed them or anything.

Your case is different too, because you have tried so hard for so long, and if you think this might be your only chance, don't end up regretting it. Maybe see if the photographer would cut you a deal for being a long term customer, give you a deal on a maternity package along with an infant package, that way they know they'll get more of your business...

I'm lucky that DH is an amateur photographer and has the backdrops and lighting to do a professional shoot at home. He did mine both at 35 weeks. I think it's totally worth it to shell out the cash to have some done. I really treasure my pics. I still have the one of me with Jackson hanging in our living room.

We have a good camera too...we would just need to really learn how to use the exposures.  And it would cost me more to go out to BC, lmao!  I think I am going to go to my photographer...I think it will be worth it.

Definitely...I am sure Chris will be snap happy with his camera while I am out visiting MA and the boys too...and I can not wait for them to come out this way!  4 more weeks for MA to heal from her section!

Mine were free, cant freakin beat that. Mine do have his logo on what I have on facebook, thats all he asks for  chris is just as snap happy as me. I need to read my book or take a class on my camera. I shoot in auto (dont tell anyone lol) and use photoshop (which I STILL havent had put back on my computer)

Im no good with people yet.. they talk back  well and its positioning that I have issues with.

Chris and I want to come see you guys when Im not a wounded couch potato lol

I think you should do it.  You have the money, you want it, and you don't know if this will ever happen again.   So go for it.  I'd wait until 30 weeks.  You'll be "cute" big, but not so crazy big that fork lifts will be involved :)   

I'd definitely get some taken, but hunt around and try and find ones you like for ideas first. I had ones done when I was pg with Jasper, and I liked them okay, but didn't love them. They were all about hands on the belly and.. I dunno, I don't stand that way, so it just looked weird to me. LOL I mean, it was pretty darn obvious I had a pregnant belly even without putting my hand underneath it, ya know? (Or one on top and one under, which felt even weirder.. like I was trying to "pop" it. I'm such a freak.) With my second one, I did some on my own, and I LOVE those. Even though I don't miss being pregnant at all. I'm so glad I documented it though, and that I've got "good" pics to look back at and go "MAN my belly got all round." *hehe* You could probably do them yourself if you want to too.. I just stood by our big window and hung a black fleecey blanket on the wall behind me. I think I was around 36-37 weeks when I did mine. When I worked at Penney's and we had people ask when, we tended to suggest about 34-35 weeks. Baby SHOULDN'T be coming then (so no big danger of missing your appt because you're, say, giving birth to the belly lump instead. *hehe*) and you're belly is most definitely round, even if you're a "late bloomer".

Here's the belly pics I did with just a black blanket:

You did have an awesome belly!  I contacted my photographer yesterday so I should hear more from her today.
