Elle is a huge fan of reality television.  Maybe she should keep that a dirty little secret . . . . But since it’s out there,  lately, one of Elle’s favorites has been the hilarious Bravo show “Bethenny Getting Married?” — it’s surprisingly poignant.  Of course, I became interested when in the last episode, Bethenny decided to do a maternity photo shoot (see, you had to know I’d turn this post around to photography sooner or later) & I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind y’all that Elle does maternity shoots too.  If you’re watching Bethenny, you may be thinking “the last thing I want to be is naked in a photograph while preggers.”  Don’t worry – you can do your shoot any way you like.  Elle has private studio space & also does a lot of maternity work outdoors too.  Contact Elle for details at elle.photographer@yahoo.com.

Good news for you moms-to-be, Top Shop, that kicky British store that has yet to come to SF has a maternity line you can buy online.  Super stylish duds that I’d love to see in “regular” wear.  And when can you ever say that about maternity clothes?!  The days of Princess Diana’s bow dresses are long gone . . .

I thought these current offerings were cute —
