Beyoncé shared even more incredible photos from her maternity shoot

Beyoncé’s pregnancy announcement photo excited her fans, but she’s got even more shots to share in a widespread maternity photoshoot that goes under water.

Many fans woke up to the additional maternity photos on Beyoncé’s website. While the initial photo was compared to something that came out of a J.C. Penney shoot, some of the others go well beyond.

Some of the photos show her appearing to embody the Roman goddess Venus (including the famous painting The Birth of Venus), and the Roman goddess of love is mentioned in a poem posted to her site. A bust of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti is also in the background.

Beyoncé’s photos and video also feature her daughter Blue Ivy. Some of them are older but there are also maternity photos that include the two of them together.

But for fans it was also very much a throwback post as Beyoncé shared photos of the Carter family over the years.
