I've been wanting to do a maternity progression series since I first started taking maternity portraits. Unfortunately, most women were well into their pregnancies by the time they got to me so I never had the opportunity. Until recently. :)
One of my brides from last year got pregnant earlier this year, and luckily she and I stayed in touch and I found out pretty early in her pregnancy. I asked her to be my guinea pig for this project and she happily agreed!
Next time I will try to schedule the sessions at more specific intervals, but she and I just got together whenever we could. I will also try to be more consistent with the lighting, but I still love the way it turned out:
She's due the beginning of next month, and I cannot wait to see her little baby girl. I'm going to see if we can add a shot of her holding her daughter to the end of this collage, but it will depend entirely on how she's feeling after delivery.
I hope I'm able to do more of these progressions. I also wish I'd really done one with my last pregnancy. I tried taking a shot every month but more often than not I wasn't feeling well and just didn't want to do it. So I don't have as many as I'd like. But at least I have a few. :)
I had the pleasure of photographing an expectant mom this past weekend with the cutest belly. Ever. I know she felt huge, but her belly was just so freaking photogenic! It was perfectly round and just so cute.
I had a maternity session last night with an absolutely gorgeous family. They are expecting baby boy #2, so they wanted to include baby boy #1 in the session. He is just too cute for words but was a little shy at first. I told him he'd better stop that or he was going to get us both in trouble. :D
