I said "none of the above". The first 2 - could be seen as "cute", I guess. The 3rd - why do maternity pictures mean the guy should be shirtless AND his underwear hanging out?
But what "bothers" me is that her MIL is a "photographer". Um, no, really she isn't. there is nothing unique or interesting about those pictures!

OMG, for me it's the food. I'm sorry, and I hate that I'm so judgmental. But it actually blows my mind that people go to the grocery store and choose to bring THAT FOOD home to fill their fridge/cupboard. And she's growing a baby! Gross.

the 3rd one is great and trashy... but other than that - the others don't bother me at all except someone calls themselves a photographer and takes such shitty pictures. Was that done with a disposable camera?

NMS - weird dirty fridge and poses aside, to each his own. What bothered me the most were the really rude comments. Over the top mean spirited...and I'm pretty bitchy.
All of them bug me. the first two pictures would have been better with a couple items of food - not every kind of junk food known to man. The fridge is dirty. And that last photo is just disgusting. WHY???
If you are doing a shoot like that it needs to be styled.
I'm concerned about the safety of her food now.
That's my opinion too. I think they had the potential to be fun, but because they were so poorly done and the overall quality of the photography sucks, they just end up looking a little trashy.
The concept is funny and she should have cleaned the fridge, put some food in it that would sort of play into the pregnancy thing, stacks of Ben and Jerries, pickles, peanut butter...basically the strereotypical play on the bizarre cravings.
Then the "photographer" should have brought in some decent lighting and a proper lens so it didn't look like it was shot with a camera phone.
The photography is terrible, the idea that eating boatloats of junk while pregnant is cute is lame, and the poses are awkward and well, I basically hate maternity photos anyway so these really don't do anything to change my mind.
I said this in the other post, but for me it was the ice cream shoved into her crotch. But all of the factors really play into it equally. The food, the pose, the filth, the trashiness. They all really work in concert. That's what makes them so extraordinary.
Nothing...certainly not my style/thing but I don't see the big deal.
This.
She may not actually eat the types of foods she is posing with and my fridge is probably just as dirty. The photos are not something I would do or a style that I appreciate, but I feel kind of bad that she's being endlessly taunted over them.
I may get flamed for this, or it is just the way colors are on my screen, but I don't see what is dirty about the fridge?
Mostly the empty shelf on the left of the pic, which has some nasty crap on it. My freezer is pretty full, but I bet if I emptied it out, there would be something just as gross in there.
In no particular order - 1. the nasty fridge 2. her MIL is a photographer? really? 3. the picture is indicating that pregnant women eat nothing but crap and get food all over themselves.
