Mama June’s daughter Pumpkin, 22, shows off bare bump in rare pregnancy pic for body positive photoshoot with sisters
MAMA June Shannon's daughter Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, 22, showed off her bare bump in rare pregnancy photos in a stunning body positivity shoot with her sisters.
The photoshoot showcased Pumpkin and her sisters Jessica 'Chubbs' Shannon, 25, and Alanna 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson, 16, along with 14 other local women- who were there to share their own powerful messages about body positivity.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun the Georgia photographer behind the work, Kelly Leverett of Kelly Leverett Photos, said that all of the models were "so brave and they did not have a care," despite being "of course a little timid at first."
"Everybody including the three sisters were all so great," she said of the Mama June Road to Redemption stars. "They all really rocked it."
The models held up signs expressing different attitudes they have towards their own bodies.
The photographer explained the women wrote the signs themselves without any input or guidance.

In one photo, the reality star sisters Pumpkin, Alana and Jessica are all holding up their own signs.
Pumpkin's reads "My body looks like this because I am a mom."
Alana's sign reads "I wish I had her butt," while Jessica's reads: "There is no competition because no one can be me."
Kelly said the shoot was an extension of a personal passion.

"Body empowerment in women or in anybody really is my passion. A lot of the time women will say 'Oh, well, I need to lose weight,' or 'Oh, well, I have stretch marks and I need to change this before I do this.'"
The photographer said when she asked for models, she received an overwhelming response from women who wanted to participate in the shoot and said she is looking forward to doing more of these in the future.
"I want everybody to have the opportunity to look beautiful and to step out of their comfort zone."
Pumpkin was elated with the February shoot as well.
The reality star and mother-of-four shared the finished set and captioned it on the : "I cannot thank the women who hyped us all up & made us feel so great about ourselves. No matter size, shape, or color. WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL."
TWINS MAKES FOUR
As The Sun exclusively reported earlier this week, Pumpkin gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, last month.
The young mother was reportedly due in mid-June, which would have put her at around five or six months pregnant during this photo shoot.
A source close to the family claimed that Pumpkin, 22, and her husband, Josh Efird, welcomed a baby boy and a girl by C-section on Thursday, May 19.
The insider said that the mom and her newborn babies are "happy and healthy," and all three returned home from the hospital just a few days after delivery.
"The girl weighed in at six pounds, one ounce and the boy totaled five pounds, four ounces,"; said the insider.
"Mom and babies are happy and healthy and Josh is elated that the babies are finally here."
Pumpkin delivered at a Georgia hospital that deals specifically with high-risk pregnancies, the source claimed.
Josh, 25, and Pumpkin certainly have their hands full, with son Bentley, 10 months, and daughter Ella, 4, already at home.
As The Sun also exclusively reported this week, Pumpkin won full custody of her sister Alana back in April after Mama June's substance abuse struggle.
PUMPKIN WINS
According to Georgia court documents first obtained by The Sun, a judge awarded sole custody of Alana, 16, to her sister Pumpkin, 22, away from their mother June, 42.
In the final order issued in April 2022, the judge wrote that Pumpkin "has had guardianship of the minor child since April 29, 2019.
"It is in the best interest of the child that the plaintiff is awarded sole custody."
The judge ordered June to pay $800 in monthly child support to Pumpkin, beginning on May 1, 2022, and to continue on the 1st of every month until Alana turns 18 years old.
