It's become trendy for moms-to-be to pose in nude or nearly-nude maternity shoots while expecting a baby, but one Pennsylvania just wasn't into it. Her husband, on the other hand, was.

Chris Urena and his wife Angelique are expecting a baby boy this June. When they found out, Chris wanted to celebrate with a photoshoot — but Angelique didn't want to.

So instead, the 29-year-old father-to-be posed for the photos all by himself, cradling his own belly in what he calls a 'manternity' shoot.

Chris and Angelique has been trying to have a baby for some time, so he wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to celebrate in a big way.

In pictures from the shoot, Chris — who is a photographer — poses only in boxers and cradles his round belly.

In some photos, he's seen wearing a bed sheet to cover up his chest, as well as a furry white cape around his neck.

'It was funny how it came about. I'm a photographer myself, and I try and take as many pictures as I can but my wife doesn't really like being in pictures,' Chris told Unilad.

'When I mentioned doing a maternity shoot, she said she didn't really want to do anything too revealing and she didn't really want to do it, and I kept asking her.

'So I started talking to my other photographer friends and decided "you know what, let's just do it with me."'

In the beginning, it started out as just a joke. But the idea started getting passed around between Chris and his friends on Facebook.

After he told them about the idea, they were fully on board and urged him to do the shoot.

'I was excited. I've done lots of maternity shoots with women and wedding photos, so being on the other side was hilarious,' Chris admitted.

'My friends made it so much more fun, they kept picking up on my "sultry eyes" and most of them couldn't keep their composure on set, so there were a lot of laughs.'

'I did it for my wife, but I did it because I'm really excited,' Chris gushed about the photo shoot.

'Me and my wife have been trying to have a baby for two years, it's been negative after negative after negative, and then one day I found out she's pregnant, and I am just elated,' he continued.
