I took some photos of a friend of mine who is 8 months pregnant. Took these next to a window with my 20D and Tamron 28-75. Critiques and Comments are always welcome.

Thanks for looking!

Just wait big guy. When the hurricanes start heading our way, I'm sending all of the Florida Crackers to Jersey. You ain't never seen a convoy of pickups like that on your turnpikes. I'm talking camper tops, UHauls, and swamp buggies galore. Ha! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Absolutely wonderful! I think there's nothing as beautiful as a pregnant woman. I love that you also got the proud father in the shots as well. It'll be treasured images for sure! (and yes, the Tamron is such a sweet lens!)

Like everyone else said, great shots. I've always loved pregnancy shots, there's a certain peacefulness to them.

What kind of lighting setup do you have?

(and yes, the Tamron is such a sweet lens!)Thanks, Petra! Well, he did play a small part in this joyous event, so we figured he should be in at least 1 or 2 shots . . .

What kind of lighting setup do you have? it was all taken with mid-afternoon light coming in from the window to the left of the photos. I took some with fill flash, but these natural light ones were just so much more powerful.

You have three lovely images there well done, the natural light works wonders, nicely handled composition with no direct eye contact thought, both parents looking at the most important thing in there lives . beauty indeed.
My prefered pictures were 1 and 2 as I like the faces included in shot, also because the sepia in 3 , I should have prefered same tone as no 1, if that makes any sense.

once again wonderful thanks for sharing.
