Season 03, Episode 13 | Kourtney's Photoshoot

I walked out of the house to greet Kris, my mother, waiting by my car. She puts out her hand, and I place the keys in her hands. We get into the car and begin driving off to where the photoshoot will be.

"You have a photoshoot, and then you have a meeting with OK Magazine, so don't forget, and how's Dwayne and Mason? " she asks.

"Thanks for the information, and they're perfect," I say.

"I heard that the nursery is finished and decked out in pink," she says.

I sigh, looking over at Kris. "Everything is pink," I said.

"Perfect." She says, walking away.

I stand up, brushing off the crumbs off my jeans as I  get in the car.

"Are you just dropping me off or staying? " I ask.

"Staying," she says.

When we arrived, we got out of the car and walked into the building.

"Hello, Kourtney, follow me," a lady says to me.

"Hi," I said.

"Your photoshoot will be you in dresses and naked, and a video of you talking about your family reality show and yours too, and we have about fifteen minutes before it starts," she says.

I follow her to this dressing room and right away. They get started on hair and makeup.

So much fun.

"Okay, ready, let's get started."

"Time for the nude photoshoot." The photographer yelled.

I was rushed to the dressing room to do my hair and make-up.

"Go, Kourtney!" My mom cheered me on.

"That's a wrap. Let's move on to the interview and promo."

When you thought you'd seen all sides of every Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian follows up on sister Kim's attempt to break the internet with a nude photoshoot conducted while nine months pregnant with her second child.

Kourtney's no stranger to exposing viewers to the wonders of childbirth, of course; who can forget, for better or worse, the memorable scene of Keeping Up With the Kardashians showing her reaching down to pull out her first child?

The shoot, done in collaboration with Brian Bowen Smith, only reinforces the oldest sister's role as the pacifying, nurturing one, though, especially since she says her decision to publicly de-robe was contingent on the fact that she's pregnant. "It's such an amazing feeling...this is what my body was meant to do."

What made you want to take these pictures?

I had done a nude shoot when I was pregnant with Mason, really last minute just for myself, and I love it. The photo is hanging in the entry of my mom's house. It used to be in her bedroom next to her bed, but Bruce would always comment on having it in his room. But it was stunning. This time, we were shooting for our show, and everyone on our camera crew was like, "You are so comfortable just walking around naked and pregnant!" And Dwayne, who stopped by with Kim, said the same thing to me, like "How are you fine just standing there like naked with all these people around?!"

So you're not self-conscious as a pregnant person?

To me, nudity is not something to be ashamed of. I'm not embarrassed by my body. I'm at my best when I'm pregnant. It's such a fantastic feeling, the transformation that your body goes through. There's something about it that's so empowering and beautiful, and I really embrace it.

How do you hope people will react to these pictures?

I don't know. It's what a woman's body is made to do, so I hope it's maybe seen as something artistic. This was something that I initially did for myself to capture the moment in my life, but these photos are beautiful, and I'm happy to share them. And I like how raw they are. It's my body: I'm not trying to impress anybody or be something I'm not. But in general, I don't care that much about what people think. It doesn't rule my world. I did this because I wanted to, and it made me happy.

Would you sit for a nude portrait if you weren't pregnant?

I would never say never, but I don't think so, no. What appeals to me is celebrating the shape of my body being pregnant and capturing that time in my life. I wanted to do something that felt authentic to me rather than being pushed in a particular direction by somebody else. The appeal was to be involved in something I would say I had more control over than other photo shoots. No one is telling me this is how you're going to look and how you're going to pose. It's a beautiful thing to be able to show my children these photographs one day and say, "This was you inside."
