My first maternity shot

tropico

My cousin is pregnant and is due in a few weeks. I stopped by last night, and I asked if I could shoot some photos just for fun and for me to learn.

Here is a few, it was really hard and I need a lot of practise.
But well, I tried... and that is the only way to learn.

C&C and good tips are welcome!

For my taste your angle is too high. Especially for #2. I want to see the excitement in the little ones face. All are nice shots but they might be helped with a lower angle. I'll bet she is having a girl....she must have more female hormones as she is very vibrant. Male hormones makes them more masculine looking. Or at least that is how the old wives tale goes.

She is actually having a boy.

We were shooting some in the stairs because of the light, but it was hard because of the angel. I would love to have some photos that show the little girls face, but unfortunately it was just a short moment, and this was the best I could get.
Hard to get kids to pose.

Here is two other photos:
