Studio photos while striking a pose are not not enough. Now, we are seeing people go for over the top shoots such as underwater shoots or beautifully curated photo shoot themes that are beyond stupendous. Others however, are going above and beyond or in other words, trying a little too hard. One lady decided to have a pretty unique maternity shoot that has elicited mixed reactions from netizens. In the photo, the lady wears nothing but a body paint outfit of a t-shirt and overalls and holds the hand of her partner, who is clad in pants and a shirt with its buttons open to 'match' wifey.

The photo was posted on Instagram by the Baltimore-based body paint artist, Lauresepaintz who captioned:

"When your jeans for your maternity shoot don’t fit anymore so you just get them painted on BodyPaint (Painted Shirt & Jeans) & Makeup"

The image was then reposted by another page, Fruitfulwomenng and while some people thought it was super cute, others did not understand the essence of removing clothes only to repaint the whole body.

Have a look at some of the comments:

Body paint maternity shoots are pretty common nowadays however, the difference with this shoot was having the whole body painted into clothes as opposed to the body being painted partly.

What do you think of the shoot? Cute or pointless?
