Well I have a maternity shoot coming up very soon and was with the cliant this past weekend do set talk about the shoot and did a few shots. She wants a shot that she saw online. So I did my take on it. its for her invitations. I just showed it to her tonight and she loved it. please let me know what you think. I have the full shoot on Saturday.

Well, my main thought was that she doesn't feel comfortable in front of the camera. Here facial expression looks a bit 'must smile for camera' to me, and she's not sure where to put her hands. I think that'll be your main task, to get her to relax.

Any way you could show us the photo she showed up with?

I'm not a fan of the purpelized background & the photo doesn't scream pregnancy to me. Yes, she has a big belly, and you show it, but you might want to look up some pregnancy photos in the internet and get some posing ideas.

I'd try to make it look moodier. Pregnant women usually have a strong relationship to the unborn already, you might want to try to capture this + play with some different light-setups, black & white will work great with a round belly. There is so much you could do with a pregnant mommy, I'd try to stick my nose into the internet and start your search for some more ideas
