I was browsing through some photos for inspiration the other day and all of a sudden i just felt like I needed to add some maternity photos to my portfolio. Thank God for Facebook, it's an awesome tool. I just posted what I was thinking about and got several replies from pregnant women or their families. The most promising was Danielle, she is the sister of one of the girls from Barefoot Church. She is due in about a week, so we had to hurry. We had the shoot yesterday - in my sons bedroom since the studio is under construction - and it turned out beautiful. I love taking pictures of pregnant women, because they just can't help looking beautiful. Even when they don't feel like it, they are. Of course I kept hearing comments like, "Can you shoot from and angle so my face looks thinner?" or "Ugh, I'm so big.", but she did a wonderful job. It did help that I had my 5 month old son in the room to help her relax. He got some really nice smiles out of her:) I hope she will be pleased with the way she looks in these photos, it was such a privilege to share this with her and i just hope it made her feel as beautiful as she is.
