Joanna pregnancy shots part deux

Ok so as promised this is part 2. To view all the pictures in this post you will need to expand it. As a couple of the images contain nudity I thought it would be best ! Anyhow, what can I say - Joanna is a radiant mum to be, and I am so grateful she allowed me to post these here. We had lots of fun experimenting with different styles and lighting. Mid session we had bright sunlight stream in through my studio skylight - so we utilized that too. So anyway, who said pregnancy images can't be sexy? And aren't those cowboy boots the coolest?

Joanna maternity session Part 1

I had a blast today. Two fantastic , fun sessions with lovely subjects. Joanna was first in this morning for her maternity session, and she brought her little sister along. The most wonderful thing for me is when someone comes is and not only wants to have fun, but also gives me a completely free hand to be creative. Joanna was just like that and to top it off she has some great ideas, and brought along a cool range range of accessories, make up and underwear ( not that she used much of that!). She is absolutely stunning and great in front of the camera which really made the session a lot of fun & I was really hyped up afterwards! Here are a few images that I quickly worked on as a sneak preview, more to come in part 2 ( the more daring ones) next week. Joanna - thank you for letting me post these here, I hope you enjoyed the session as much as I did!

The first is my favorite , I love the delicate look

Paula pregnancy shots

Ok as promised a couple of weeks back some images from Paula's session. I must say the lady is brave, but being an ex model and dancer certainly helps! Paula was very graceful and completely at ease in front of the camera which was lovely. She was also up for anything so we experimented a little and shot some more abstract images in addition to the "standard" pregnancy shots.
