Congrats, it's a tire-turkey?

I was having a conversation with some of my coworkers the other day. The topic: Pregnancy Pictures. Sure, getting pictures taken, with or without your spouse, are fine. But it's the really weird ones that frequently make me think, what the hell were these people thinking?! You know the ones I'm talking about, where the woman is sitting mostly naked looking down at her belly. If done tastefully, they can be beautiful. However, when I see a naked woman (with the appropriate areas covered...sort of) seated next to a TRUCK TIRE with, who I can only assume is her husband who is fully clothed leaning on said tire gazing ever so lovingly into her eyes. Since when does a tire have its place next to a pregnant lady let alone a naked pregnant lady. When you click on the link, you'll understand my dismay.



To make the picture even classier, the guy has an earring that was clearly polished for the picture, and was probably talked into getting by his teen bride who is seated opposite the truck tire.

Then of course there's the ever so loved picture.....with a turkey.




Not only does that turkey look good, the belly doesn't look half bad either. Especially in the middle of the woods while you wear your husbands boxers. Nothing says love like a dead turkey comparing to the size of your wife's stomach.


I'm just not sure what some people are thinking when they decide to do this. I'm hoping it's the overwhelming amount of pregnancy hormones that make the mother-to-be think this is a good idea. Should I ever get an idea in the neighborhood of something like this, I'm hoping not only my husband but the photographer (you know who you are) will slap that idea out of me....hard.
