There are few things in this world that are as stunningly beautiful as a pregnant mother. Nothing shows more love, more beauty than a portrait of a mother to be especially when you mix it with her precious family. If you read my blog a couple weeks ago about my new favorite way to photograph newborns in a much more journalistic way, you knew this posting was coming. My last couple maternity shoots have been done the same way. This shoot was 100% available light. I did bring my flash/softbox to the shoot in case I needed to cheat, but I didn't use it. And because it was so much less obtrusive than all that equipment in my studio, I got to move more where the action progressed to and I got real emotion from everyone including their two year old! Not to mention that this is so much more real. Real real life. This is how I want to proceed for my maternity and newborn shoots as much as possible. I know this is not always practical, so obviously I will still shoot in my studio. But I love it, it is so creatively inspiring for me. You can't see the rest of their shoot since it's a little more personal, so their proofs are hidden. But, this gives you a taste of this type of shooting. If you are an expectant mother and would like to schedule an artistic consultation for a shoot like this, call me.
