Pregnancy photos, like wedding photos, prom pictures and those awesome shots that you and friends took at the mall in high school can (and this is the operative word) be awesome*. But they can also be as awkward as wearing a leather vest in the sixth grade and thinking it looks awesome. That is to say, painfully, painfully awkward.
Sad and Useless (which is both a website and my mother’s pet name for me) has put together a compendium of some of the best, most awkward pregnancy photos known to man (from the website Awkward Family Photos) and the results are stunning. Bustiers and lingerie are one thing, but it’s when you start bringing blown-up condoms, pistols and just the saddest expressions in the world into these photographic works of art that the magic really happens.
For instance, take this classically composed photo that’s a tribute to both the great outdoors and also a handy reminder to duck and cover if there’s an earthquake. Also if The Blair Witch shows up. Actually, a Blair Witch themed photoshoot sounds pretty good. Also: Welcome to Pawnee, where the latest fashions come from a 1992-era ClothesTimes.
