Maternity Portrait Sneak Peek

  

















 
  
   The growth of love in a family is a special moment in a couple's life.  And I wanted this portrait session to reflect the feelings of love and the celebration of a new life.  This session was a challenge for me for two reasons.  First, I knew that because of my vision and my subject the best setting would be indoors, unlike my previous photo sessions.  And I hadn't done a studio photo shoot before.  So, I would need the proper lighting.  The second challenge was that of capturing the beauty of a pregnant woman.  This was a challenge because we live in a world where most women are very subconscious of their bodies and the way they look. Unfortunately, this negative self awareness hinders one from truly seeing and appreciating the beauty that is. And if it is not quickly captured this beauty fades and disappears.


   How did I overcome these challenges?  The first challenge concerned me the most because photography is all about the light; the light is the true subject of all photos.  Also, I wanted to keep the lighting simple.  This allowed me the opportunity to create my own lights.  I did this by going down to the hardware store and buying a couple of inexpensive clamp lights.  I then needed stands for them.  A few old tri-pods that no longer could hold a camera were in the back of my closet and worked really well as light stands.  After I acquired the necessary lighting I then focused on my pregnant model.

   When a woman feels beautiful she then looks beautiful.  This thought got me on a search for something that would make this pregnant woman feel beautiful.  A while ago my mother sent me an exquisitely hand-made antique bed spread.  By itself it was beautiful, however, adding it to our model equaled a precious life time moment photographed in its loveliness.  The minute I showed it to the model she fell in love with it.  The affect was automatic and this moment in all its beauty could be easily capture by the camera and seen by all.
