What's with those professional maternity pictures?

I think that money could be put to better use for the child. Those pics are super expensive and honestly some look trashy. My friends wife got some done and they put her in skin tight jeans and just a denim jacket. No shirt or bra. It was less than tasteful for a pregnant lady that's for sure. Do what you want with your money but when your kids grow up they wont want to see their mom half naked or dressed trashy.
