My wife, 33 weeks pregnant

My wife and I are expecting our first child. We had a couple of ideas and after a couple of hours of shooting, we are very pleased with the results. She is 38 weeks now and we are just waiting for the arrival of our son. C&C welcome.

i think softer light on the face would be more flattering

First of all, congrats to you and your wife.

I think you did a pretty good job on these photos. You really showed her belly well along with the rest of her. The lighting could have been a little softer (both angle and quality) on some but I really like the B&W shots.

Bryan and moeronn,

Thanks for the feedback!

#3 is so good that it doesn't even seem to be part of the same shoot. My favorite for sure.

What did you use for lighting?

Mostly interesting in backlight.

3 and 4 are my faves.

As main light,single 580EX II inside an apollo 28" softbox or on a 60" reflective umbrella. For backlighting, I used a 430EX mounted on a light stand.

3-4 very nice shots ...print larg and hang them on the wall .....well shot nice work......the other images in your set just dont have the same feel to them(jmo)

3 & 4 are definitely the best of the bunch. I kind of like #1 as well.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I dig three & four ...

My faves are also three and four... Really nicely lit, posed and processed... One is nice, but I echo the others in that I find the light in shots 5-7 harsh. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you and your wife have a beautiful, healthy and happy baby. All the best!

3,4 look like they could belong in a gallery. Beautiful.

Some nice shots. As others have said, the lighting could be a bit softer.

With #5, I find the visible panties quite distracting. A bit of work in PS to darken them so they are lost in the shadow would look better, I think. Hope you don't mind, I did a quick job...
