What The Bump?! These Maternity Photos Tell It Like It Really Is

by Meghan Sara

 

Photographer Danielle Guenther’s photo series “What The Bump?!” is not your typical maternity shoot…

That is to say, there’s no beaming couples standing back-to-front, prom date style, making heart-hands over an exposed pregnant belly. There are no flower crowns in a wheat field (lending credence to my childhood theory that babies actually did come from a cabbage patch, what is UP, wheat fields?). Instead of the cliches usually found in maternity shoots, Guenther captures the realites of pregnancy: cravings, exhaustion, and morning sickness!  Scroll through to see all the photos in the series — if you’ve ever been pregnant, I’m sure you’ll be nodding your head at each image like, “YUP!”  Check them out!
