Maternity Shoot

I did a maternity shoot when I was in Columbus last week! It was great! The mother, Jenny, was so comfortable with herself and totally at ease the whole time! She took direction very well and the result was well worth it! I love her photos, they turned out just how I was envisioning! Now to just get my hubby to update my website with all these new photos...it has been a crazy couple of weeks for me...so he has a lot to catch up on! :) 

Here are a few photos from the shoot, there are a lot more, but Blogger isn't working right, so I'll add more tomorrow!! :) Take a look at these and tell me what you think!

Thanks for looking!

I love the curves in this one!

Baby Shoes!! Too adorable!

I love this one! She looks so peaceful!

I think the angle of this one makes it dynamic, but soft too!

I think this one has a quiet serenity about it...very anticipatory. 

Just experimenting!

After my first nude shoot with my best friend, Jen, I wanted to improve my skills and experiment with new poses and concepts. I found a willing and gorgeous candidate, Lauren. Believe it or not, this entire shoot was taken in an upstairs bedroom at my mom's house, because I don't have a studio as of yet! My goal was to show the female body in such a way, that would capture the sensuality of simplicity. I think that the more simple a shoot is the more you can really capture your goal. Though this does depend on the type of shoot... :) Lauren was wonderful, she took direction amazingly but still had some ideas of her own that she wanted me to capture. These photos are honestly some of my favorites that I have ever taken. I think this genre isn't something that is really explored by most photographers. There isn't really a title for it, as it is unique. It is not glamour, where woman are posing in lingerie for their husbands and boyfriends, it is not artistic nudes, with dramatic light and greasy looking bronzed bodies. I don't know what it should be called...simply nudes? Not sure, but either way, here are the photos!! As always, please comment and let me know your thoughts!!!

This is my favorite shot of the day!
This photo says quiet simplicity and elegant grace.

I love the angles on this one.

She is all tangled looking but still amazingly elegant.

For this one, I was trying to capture her face,
while keeping her legs slightly blurred as to not distract.

I love this one!
I love how there is so much negative space, but you aren't distracted by that!

This one is all Lauren!
Her idea! I think it is too cute!!
