Maternity Shoot

So I completed my first maternity shoot Monday. (and there was much rejoicing)

The good: I learned a lot. And my subject, despite being due two days after the shoot (today!) was a pleasure.

The bad: The spot I had planned on taking a LOT of the photos was closed off for renovations, so I had to improvise.

The ugly: I don't think there was an ugly, which is good, considering we are talking photos here.

A few highlights...

Yannin plays piano. Beautifully. We took some shots at her mother's house, where her piano is, so I wanted to be sure to feature it.

In the backyard. An orange tree seemed appropriate for a Florida born baby.

Still at mom's house, the "I'm pregnant so I am going to stare wistfully out the window" shot.

I love taking belly pictures. It's the one time in a woman's life that you can be proud to show off the roundness. :)

It was a bajillion degrees out, so ice cream seemed like a good idea.

The light right at that moment was perfect.

Don't know why, but I love train tracks.

This was our air conditioning break in the Pottery Barn. She was still so relaxed after wandering around Park Ave, I just love this picture for what it is.
