I seriously haven't done a maternity session in almost 2 years, so I wasn't really sure what to do here! This was supposed to be a family session but got turned into a maternity session at the last minute when one of the couple's children got sick. Instead of rescheduling, they decided to just go ahead and do maternity photos as this may be their last child. Anyways...I did have fun but could use more practice in this arena!

5 (I totally shot this one like a drunken sailor. I already rotated it over 10 degrees back the way it belongs, and that's about as far as I could push it without some major cropping issues)

And a before and after of #2. Most of the shots we did were fully clothed, but she agreed to a few bare bellied shots. She was pretty self conscious about the extra weight and stretch marks, so I just told her that as a woman, I would go ahead and 'fix' anything that I would fix on my own maternity portraits. I do hope she likes these!

You did a great job with the liquify and removing the stretch marks! Not too much and just enough. I really like these Lisa. My only cc is #5 still is not straight enough for me. She still looks like she is laying on a hill downward.

I love the one where she is peeking around the corner! That would have been hysterical with some binoculars or something to look like she was trying not to be seen.

These are excellent. Love everything about them.

Great job on the before and after. Aside from the touchups on the skin/body, I really like that you fixed her wardobe choice on the pants. ;)
