I had a blast doing these maternity pictures at the new studio space.  My previous spaces were smaller or I was lugging a bunch of equipment, so I wouldn’t bring everything I might want to use.  So we had a lot of fun doing the creative shots I’ve been wanting to try out, we even went outside for some urban sunset shots!

This first one is an “almost silhouette”… you let some spill of the lights on the subjects so they’re not totally dark and you can see some features.

While this next one is a true silhouette… this was outside with the sky in the background.  Awww aren’t they cute?

This next one is with a fancy fabric panel for the background and one of my maternity wraps:

Then I have a series like this next one that was really fun, doing some dancing maternity pictures.

And this last one is a nightscape shot (it looks darker outside than it really was).  We were out on Oak Street, running into the middle of the street, snapping a picture real quick, and then going back to the side to avoid the cars.  I think everyone was out driving on that street right when we went out!

I know, I hadn’t updated my blog since November!  I’m now back in the swing of things.  The fall just got too crazy (which is GOOD considering the crappy economy!) and with everything else, the blog just fell by the wayside for awhile, and people missed out on getting sneak peeks of their sessions.  But anyway, I’m back to the grindstone now!  Today I had a fabulous maternity photography session, and I seriously agonized over what pictures to post.  There were just so many good ones!

These guys were such naturals in front of the camera, and you can feel the love in their hearts for each other and their son… and daughters! (they’re having twins!)

The other day I had a really fun time doing maternity portraits for Kathryn and Peter.  I really like having fun and different things to use for photography, and on their property they had a 70 year old tractor and HORSES!  I’m a city gal with a postage stamp sized yard (you should see our pitiful garden), so I find things out in the country very exciting.

So my usual 1-2 hour photo session went almost 3 hours (I didn’t even realize the time!) and we got some amazing shots.  She specifically wanted artistic maternity pictures, and I really enjoy letting the creative juices flow, so I think she will be really happy when she sees them!  We also did some artistic ones with more skin showing (that aren’t something I can post in the blog, but I wanted to mention in case someone else reading would like that too) and those turned out really beautiful too.

This one is one of my favorites:

And another from the “on the tractor” set…

This maternity session was fun, because we started the session in their backyard, which is something different for me.  They even had a hammock, which sparked the idea of wearing some brighter colors.

Anyway, here are a few for the sneak peek!

I had a session to do maternity pictures on Tues, and I convinced them that we should go to Inniswoods where the trees are in bloom.  We were so glad that we did!  The evening light was just right, and the weather was great.

This woman was simply stunning, don’t we all wish we could look this good (with no stretchmarks, even!) at 8 months pregnant! (and it’s a boy!)
