I had my first maternity shoot this weekend and the sky was not my friend. However, it was the only day her husband could do this and since she is pregnant with twins she wanted to do it while she can still get up and down. They want all B&W but I am going to post both here for your C&C. I like some in color much better.

3. This one was not cropped. I was using it for
the tummy and I really liked the look so I kept it.

    Very nice. Love the compositions.

    The light - maybe the sky wasn't your friend, but it wasn't your enemy either. You have some wonderfully soft light with just enough directionality to create soft shadows. Very sweet and well done!

    I think you conversions could use a bit more punch, but I like pretty contrasty B&W.

    In #1/2, I think I would take the time to clone out the post (lower left) and the rope. Should take only a minute or two to get the job done.

    Likewise, the ropes in #4 - would take seconds to get rid of them.

    Scott: Thanks for the comments...I'm working on the pp to make them pop. I have removed the ropes from all of the photos.


    Cuties02q: Thank you.

    I really had a good time with the mom and dad.
