ingrid's maternity shoot

This weekend I did a super fun maternity shoot with my friend Ingrid. The first real workout of my new studio area! We had a blast and got some great shots; she's due any day now so we just squeaked it in in time. For her first son I think we did the shoot about two weeks before she delivered, I think we cut it even closer this time. Here are a few of my favorites:



I snapped this one after she realized that she was trying to suck in her stomach to absolutely no effect -



I love love love these last two -





Best wishes for Ingrid and M2!

belly shots

Today I was made aware of the fact that I hadn't taken a single picture of my belly yet. Shameful! I took the opportunity to play with my new studio lights in our basement and had great fun setting everything up. Nate put up a nice black backdrop for me and I puttered away for about an hour, posing my belly.

Nate's favorite -



a totally different feel - this one was processed with the Totally Rad Old Skool action, I like the effect quite a bit -





I'm very excited to do this weekly and watch my belly grow over the next six months. It'll be fun to come up with a project that'll incorporate the whole series.
