Pregnancy shots are easy, wait until you have to shoot a FAST moving baby ;o) Just have a look at some pics online to find some interesting poses.

I like lots of side, almost behind, lighting.

Also, this is one of my maternity shots that I get a lot of requests for.

I used some sheer skin toned strech fabric on the last one, draped the mom with the fabric - tight on top, skimming the bump and then straight down to the floor with the fabric pooled at her feet with a mermaid feel and some dramatic lighti...they are stunning. She had her arms crossed for modesty across her bust.

Are you doing these outdoors, indoor or in studio?

I've been trying to track down a maternity shoot that Jessica Claire did with Drew Bittel, but it must be archived as I can't find the whole thing. But the first shot on this page is one from that shoot, and I think it's very clever!
