I have not blogged in a while about maternity sessions - which is odd since I do so many of them. I love photographing pregnant women when they are nice and curvy - around 34 to 35 weeks. A week before the session we meet to consult about the style of images they are looking. In the session I strive to create different moods using studio lighting. I encourage women to incorporate fabrics or items that are significant to them into the session - sheer fabrics with some kind of iridescence work best. Sometimes it is a wedding veil, or just some beautiful fabric. Today, Lelma brought in some gorgeous fabrics that she got at a Sari shop and we created some beautiful images of her with the fabrics, which we will then follow up after the baby is born with the newborn wrapped in the same fabrics.
Here is one of my favorites from today - "with Golden Child"...

Amazing as always!!
