The wife is about to "pop" any day now with our first child. It's going to be a little girl... 
I took over the living room last night/today in the attempt to learn enough to get some decent maternity shots of her. This is my absolute first try at studio lighting so any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I did notice that in some of other the pictures I was getting some bad shadows below her belly. In the future I think either lowering the ringlight or dropping a reflector on the floor would have helped. These are the "keepers" of the shoot.
These are all straight out of the camera with just a resize done (shot in B&W). What kind of PP effects (blurs mostly) do you think would improve the look of these shots?
Here is how I ended up setting everything up...
