The expression "putting lipstick on a pig" has a negative connotation to most people. But apparently, they haven't met Sophie!

Dressed in a tutu and donning a bow, Sophie the pot-bellied pig is serving full glam for her maternity photo shoot.

This new mama got the royal treatment at the Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary in Ohio.

Sophie didn't always have a pampered life -- she was one of several animals found on a property in Indiana.

All of them were abandoned by their previous owner, who left them without enough food or water.

After being rescued and moving to the animal sanctuary, staffers quickly realized she was pregnant.

So, they decided to celebrate with a maternity photoshoot, and posted everything on their Facebook page along with a "guess the due date" portion.

It was a short contest because just two days later, she gave birth to seven little piglets!

Workers at the sanctuary say all of the little piggies are happy and healthy.

With pics as cute as this, I'm sure Sophie will raise a family full of models!
