Fully-covered

Many people are under the impression that it is not a baby bump shoot unless the bump is actually showing. Nothing is further from the truth. The prospect of getting semi-nude for a shoot is one that makes most ladies cower, and shy away from the idea of a baby bump shoot altogether. It does not have to be that way. This ankara ensemble captures the baby bump so beautifully. The patterns and colours of the fabric, with its flamboyant bell-sleeves makes it all more interesting. All curves have been accentuated, the bump being the most beautiful.

Ankara drama

It has already been demonstrated that you can be as playful and creative as you wish with your ankara outfit. However, DJ Pierra Makena grabs the top spot for the most creative and extra ankara-inspired baby bump shoot. She does not show the entire bump,but just enough which strikes a perfect balance for those who may want less-revealing shots.
