My 10 Favorite Pregnant Instagrams – 2019 Edition – CLJ Photography

One of my favorite blogs last year was giving you my 11 favorite pregnant instagrams. I love connecting the pregnancy experience for my readers! There are women going through pregnancy for the first time, women going through for the 5th time, all the excitement, anxiety and anticipation for the future. These instagrammers share their ups and downs and growing bellies
1. Carli Lynne Hamilton – @carlihamiltonnn
This gorgeous expecting Momma is dealing with more than most can understand. I look up to her outlook on life – she is uplifting, optimistic and sweet. I have the wonderful opportunity to photograph her in the next couple weeks in Utah and can’t wait to share them! They will be featured by Beauty and Lifestyle Mommy Magazine in the coming months!
2. Catherine (Giudici) Lowe – @catherinegiudici
This boss Momma was featured in our last edition of favorite instagrammers and she is prego again! We love watching this boy mom get through life’s ups and downs, looking gorgeous and running a successful cards and stationary business.
3. Madison Nelson – @heymadinelson
Madison has the prego style down to an art! I’m pretty sure she looks amazing most of the time. She’s also a super inspiring Mom Boss too so if you want her look – you totally can get it! Check out Shop Talulah!
4. Aleja Briles – @alittlealeja
We’ve followed Aleja for quite sometime and you can probably guess why. Her style is unique and GORGEOUS! We love her sense of humor and her down to earth feel. She definitely knows style too so it’s a win win! (Pregnant Instagrams are the best for style – always getting the question of what to wear and where to shop!)
5. Mary Kate Robertson – @marykaterob
This lovely Momma and her hubby, Duck Dynasty star John Luke, are expecting their first baby in October. We love her southern charm, her love for family and her casual style.
6. Shawn Johnson East – @shawnjohnson
Former Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson is nearly three-fourths into her pregnancy and has shared the good and the bad parts of pregnancy. Shawn has gone through infertility and pregnancy scares, just like so many other women, and we love her optimism through it all.
7. Lauren Akins – @laur_akins
Lauren just announced her pregnancy a couple days ago and we are excited to watch her motherhood journey! With a high profile hubby, we can’t help but give this mom the official “mom salute”. But it’s not just raising kids and having a busy life that we really admire about Lauren – it’s her humanitarian work we respect.
8. Katelyn Brown – @katelynbrown
Katelyn’s style is completely different than the other instagrammers listed. I’m a girl grown in the 90s so it’s her grungy, glam style that really speaks to me. I love her youthfulness and her hip vibe.
9. Beauty and Lifestyle Mommy Magazine – @blmommy
A great account you should definitely follow. I’ve worked with this national magazine for a couple years now and I love their community of women. They embrace every mother, every experience and build each other up. It is an amazing space to be a part of. And with this one, you get a “twofer” – you should also follow Southern Motherhood Magazine – @southernmotherhoodmag – it focuses on Southern Mommas and inspiration.
10. CLJ Photography – @cljphoto.tx (shameless plug!)
Of course you should follow us! Why haven’t you already?!? We love creating portraits of women. There is one moment in life when you really change – literally change. The moment you become a parent, a mother, everything else seems to fall away. This is that moment to capture – pregnancy. It embraces what our bodies are capable of, it celebrates life and the love you created with someone. It is a divine gift to create life.

I hope you have enjoyed my list of pregnant instagrams! Let me know in the comments if I missed anyone!
We would love to capture your little one’s first moments earth side.
