Steep Learning Curve

Today I took some photos of a friend's very pregnant daughter.

Before I went I checked out maternity shots and quickly realised it's all about the light and that ideally you need a studio.

An ordinary living room and backyard just don't cut it.
Anyway, I've got a few I think she'll like.
This is a crop of one without the belly, or 'bump', as it's coyly referred to today.
Since I didn't ask blip permission I thought it best to leave that out:)
