I Announced My Wife’s Pregnancy With Some Special Pictures
407Kviews
My wife and I will have our first baby boy in November. We are very happy about this, so we decided to make some special and creative pregnancy photos. His name will be “Theodor” and each photo idea has its own message.
I worked on every photo for one week. We took the photos on Sundays, then I retouched them with Photoshop till Wednesdays and after that, I planned the next photoshoot ideas. Modeling was great fun for both of us – of course, we only used non-toxic and skin-tolerant products and materials, such as paste in creating these miniature worlds.
Fun fact: while shooting, Theo often kicked mom’s belly, so the paste got some cracks and we had to repair the body art all the time. In the meantime, the pregnancy photoshoots are framed and embellish Theodor’s bedroom and all we can do now is wait for him.
You can reach everything
You will find your way

just a hint for what to come after his birth, dear Theo...
It was wonderful.I am a mother.My son is six month.I wanna say congratulation.Your son/daughter will so cute
lots of love in it... and creative
This is really clever and well done but I love the part when he says the photos are framed in Theo's room. If they're still hanging when he's school-age and he has a friend over, they're gonna be like "hey that photo of the mountains is cool" and he'll be like "yeah they're my mom's boobs"
very creative... I like! :)
Great...but does mom feel cold while painting?

Hey Simon. I work for Caters, a press agency in New York, and we would really like to run a piece about this wonderful series. As we are a press agency, the story will be sent out over our newswire service to all the mainstream media outlets - both in the US and across Europe. This means that you will, of course, be paid for any images provided to illustrate the story, and will hopefully gain some great exposure along the way, too. If you could send a quick email to jack[at]catersnews[dot]com , I would be happy to explain things in a little more detail than this comment box allows. Thanks! :-)

The container's tongue is natural, right? Wow
Simon, your landscapes are great. Much better than those stunning mountains that would take an 8 members to reach "the spot".
There's your objectification of women! Just kidding, these are really inventive and actually better better than I would expect. I must've been a lot of fun to do this photoshoot.
Hello, Simon Schaffrath. I'm Sujin Kim, pleased to meet you. I am currently working as reporter in Wikitree, our online newspaper is based in Seoul, South Korea. For you to get an idea of our site, let's say that it’s a kind of Korean version of Buzzfeed. Our sites want to introduce your photos, could we? Thank you very much in advance, Best Regards,
Sorry, no. I wouldn't have any possibility to translate what have been written, so i don't feel comfortable with it. Hope you understand
Yes I understand your mind. We couldn't write your article. But I like your picture. It is warming!
Um, is her boob a golf hole in one of these? Really? Yay for Theo and Dad and the container.
Simon, I am a writer for DIYPhotography and would love to feature the images and the story on our blog. Would you be ok with that? Also if you are ok with it... maybe we could get in touch and I could get a little bio about you as well to put in the article! Thank you and great stuff!
Please email if you want! mitch[at]mjoyphotography[dot]com
Beautiful and creative. Special announcement for a very special moment.
haha this is so cuuuute!!!! <3
See Adventure Time's episode Isla de Senorita.
Theo in Greek means God.
This is really great and I'm glad to see, that there is something else then boring bodypainting pics oder "hold your belly from behind" pregnancy photos - thank you for sharing!

awesome!
Make the mist of those perky mountains, the valley is likely to get a lot wider soon x
So many people nowadays act like they're the first people to ever get pregnant and that the whole world needs to know.
Doesn't bother you to show your wife body like that to everyone (especially guys)?
Why would it? She's fully covered, waaaay more than the average woman at the beach. What an odd question...
Hello everyone,My name is Tina Grand.i am here to share my testimony on how i conceived my baby. I have been married to my husband for 3 years without no child. We have been to the doctor and it was confirmed that the both of us are in good condition. I had problems with my in-laws because of the child issue. I was introduced to MAMA DADA HERBAL HOME by a friend who lives here in America. I contacted her and explained my problems to her.MAMA DADA HERBAL HOME told me all that is required and i did it accordingly. I was very surprise to test positive after 2 weeks of contacting her. I gave birth to my baby boy four weeks ago and i am a very happy woman and a living testimony of this good work. Anyone who needs her help should contact her through Email.(mamadadaherbalhome@yahoo.com) and you will also testify to her good work.
Hi Simon! Would it be alright if we posted these photos on popsugar.com/moms? If this is okay with you, you can let me know here, or if you have any questions, you can email me at asantoro [at] popsugar [dot] com. Thanks!
Hey Simon! Just circling back to see if you're interested in your awesome photos being featured on POPSUGAR!
This is why hipster douchebags shouldn't be allowed to breed.

No pictures shows joy of his wife. Everywhere - "Yo, I made it! I! I! made it with her stomach! We will have a child". Where is woman in it, - I mean, could she be more than just landscape at least at one of those pics? Definitely it's not easy to make her be present there as well, but for example on the pic, where guy is on the island, on a beach, he could call cell phone, and in a bubble (as in comicses), should be a portrait of his happy wife with smile - like he is calling to tell her a news about treasure island or something. She is totally not there! :(
Wow, way to bring the mood down you depressing feminist. How about the fact his wife "is" the subject matter and is harboring life within her. My god, can you find something else to complain about and leave this lovely couple alone without bring you're feministic views into the light. Perhaps she didn't want her fact to be in the photo, ever think of that? Not everything is black and white.
...more than just a landscape? She is my world :) By the way, she loves the pictures and both of us planned the details.
Do you understand, WHAT means feminism? From the point you speak of, seems like NOT. Go, read wikipedia or smth else.
Well at least he made something, no ? So many mens not caring at all about pregnancy !
