We have a weakness for anything with a magical mermaid theme, from makeup brushes to seashell bags and Halloween costumes.
So, when we heard mermaid maternity photo shoots are now officially a thing, our excitement levels went through the roof.
While it can be difficult to feel glamorous and attractive while pregnant, that’s nothing a beautiful iridescent mermaid tail and a clamshell bikini top can’t change, as these stunning mums-to-be have proven.
Whether chilling out on the beach, lounging on the rocks or having a fin-tastic time swimming in the ocean, these gorgeous mermaid mums make pregnancy look so glorious.
While you might not think it, a mermaid tail strangely compliments a blossoming bump and adds to the general air of radiance. After all, pregnancy is a pretty magical time so why not celebrate this?
Check out some of our favourite mermaid-themed maternity photo shoots.
Instagram user Penny Lane’s sister wanted a mermaid photoshoot as her husband is a surfer and she has always loved mermaids.
We love her delicate seashell crown and her bright green tail.
Mermaid mum-to-be Ashley reclined on the rocks in a sparkly blue tail for her shoot while her partner played Prince Eric in the background. Gorgeous!
These photos make us feel quite broody all of a sudden!
One mum’s photoshoot took place the day before she gave birth but you’d never know it as she looked so serene and calm lying on the beach.
Luckily for her, she didn't go into labour while in mermaid mode!
Of course, the ocean is a mermaid’s natural habitat so some mums got right into the spirit getting into the sea or swimming in a pool.
And if going to the beach is a stretch, how about an indoor mermaid shoot like this? No sand required!
Mermaid photo shoots really are magical!
We hope these mums will do some follow-up family photos with their little ones in the future.
What do you think of these photo shoots mums? Do you like them or do you think they are too much effort while pregnant? Let us know your thoughts.
