My first offical maternity session

bellacat · Feb 10, 2008

A couple weeks ago my friend let me practice on her to get a shot for her Baby Shower invitations and you all gave me some great advice. SO yesterday I had my first official maternity session

She is 37 weeks expecting her 3 child.

C&C is welcome and appreciated

These are my favorites so far...
1.

2.

3.

These are a few other i have edited but not sure if i like them as much as the first 3

4. This one just didn't seem to crop right so i played with it a little

5. This one was actually my daughters idea

6. This one reminds me of a commercial for some kind of Earth Mama Organic product.

Thanks for looking

nice shots

It may just be me, but the color balance seems to be off in #4 and #5 with a little too much magenta.

I think if you fix that, everything else will be perfect

I like it! Number is fine with that much magenta, but I agree that number 5 may be a tad too much magenta.
My favorite is number 4. STUNNING!

OOOH NICE! 1.3 and 5 are my favorites. I can't wait to do a maternity shoot it seems like so much fun!

thanks for the feedback. I had so much fun on this session and I can't wait to take more maternity photos.

I can totally see the color is off now that you mention it so i will go back and fix that.

Great ideas!

I love the outdoor shoots!

Hey Becky! Great job on these photos, I'm sure Mommy loved them

bellacat · Feb 13, 2008

thanks ladies....the mom really really loved them

I even got a great referral when she showed her pregnant friend who loved the photos so much that she plans on driving 2 hours to my area so i can take her photos when she is far enough along. I say that is a pretty awesome referral

I absolutely love number 1 and 3. I think you did a great job, most just need the color correction as mentioned.

The only thing I would add is for #2 and #3. In #2 her hands would look better if her fingers were not laced. Hands look best if you can keep the fingers together. What helps me to remember is to imitate a Barbie hand. I think your shots are great.

Becky you've come very far in the last few months. These look great! I think I really like #3 the best. The B&W looks good there and I like how she looks like she's thinking about her baby on the way
