I like the first two. Nice pose showing off the baby bump curve, and she looks relaxed (even more so in the second shot, notice how her near shoulder is slightly more hunched in the first shot). I like how the colors/tones of her hair and dress set her off nicely from the background. Well done!

I appreciate the concept of the last two (I like these more than most "name in blocks" maternity shots I've seen), but it's a tough one to execute. In these two specifically the blocks are so small that they are not an important enough portion of the shot to grab the eye. The name is certainly legible, but it takes just a little effort - ideally the name would jump out at you. Honestly, I think I'd bin the first of these (#3) - in addition to the block issues, the couple is so small and so out of focus that you can barely tell she's pregnant. I like the distance of the couple and their blur in #4...had the blocks been replaced by baby booties or something I think I really would have liked this shot.

Really like these. Would have been nice to have seen the shots with the blocks done with a more depth of field.
