  • Maternity is big in the US yes.. Its a beautiful time in a womens life. knowing that she is carrying a new person that her and her husband graciously created.. Its absolutely gorgeous!!

    maternity sessions are big in usa arn't they?

    i dont know anybody that has has them done in england.

    i dont understand the appeal.

    the big stretched stomach is not attractive and its not a pic you would have on your mantel piece is it?

    but if its what the customer wants they are clear sharp and interesting poses

  • I simply love these. I also use wooden blocks for the name, and do selective colouring!! Great minds, hey :-)
    Anyway, my fave is the one with the siblings.


  • thanks

    have they seen the pics yet?

    They saw the raw pictures, before any editing. Both seemed very pleased. One had abdominal scars from a past surgery that she wanted removed so I think she'll be even happier with the final outcome.
    I'm Meeting with them in a few hours to let them choose the poses they want.

  • I agree...I think pregnant bellies are cute.

  • sorry that was a bit harsh when i re read.

    the photos, im sure they will be well pleased with them.

    i was just noticing the difference between usa and uk regarding maternity pics.

    didnt mean to offend, but i agree it did sound harsh and i apoligise


    lol That's ok, None taken. :lmao:


  • Thanks Guys! Those look MUCH better! I have CS3. These were just quick edits that I did. I had lots of poses to edit (and stretch marks to remove lol) so I really only took my time on the SC poses. I'll go through and fix those before sending them to be developed. Thanks again!!:mrgreen:


  • Jols, that's bit harsh!!!! Many women think that pregnancy is also time to celebrate the beauty of their bodies during that season of their lives! Maybe the photos are not for the mantlepiece, but rather as part of the journey in celebrating the miracle of a new life!

    Brianne, I think you have some lovely poses. Some of the pics are a bit "dark" for me, but my style is bright, so it might very well just be a personal thing.

    I generally don't like selective colouring, but I love the one with his name!

    Well done! I'm sure they will absolutely LOVE them!

    Thanks so much! I Just wish i could have put more of the little blond boy in, but alas, Not enough background...lol I could have moved them around to make room, but poor mom had a hard enough time getting down there to begin with so I decided to make do and not put her through it. lol

    I'm doing a monthly session with my son's step mom (she just found out she's expecting again) and I did her first one Saturday also. We used the blocks to spell out 7 weeks.


  • Kathi, I love your plays!

    Brianne, sometimes the line between slight underexposure and a darker look for the subject is a fine one...

    If you look at your originals you will notice that the whites are not white, but slightly grey. In Kathi's plays they are white without being blown out, which means the are properly exposed.

    But like I said before: I really LOVE them!

    Thanks alot! I noticed you mentioned liking brightness in your portraits. It really depends on the subject with me. lol Apparently alot of people like the selective coloring...both clients requested it. I did them both ways just for a choice.


  • Glad to be of help. I just bumped up the levels a little and added some contrast. On another note, If you shoot in Manual and get the brightest possible in camera you won't have to worry about the underexposure. I don't know what you surrently shoot in, the poses are great but it would be nic enot to lose any image quality due to brightening for more than just taste. ;) I know this because for a long time I didnt shoot in Manual and so i had the same issue. :)

  • I see that you have that your images are okay to edit so I hope you don't mind, I played with two of them. You have some great comp here and some lovely images. The thing I do notice is slight underexposure.
    What is your editing program? If you can fin your histogram in there it will tell you when they are underexposed. If You google histograms it will give you lots of articles about how to read them and understand them. :)
    All in all excellent ideas and crops. :)
