I don't usually post in this part, but thought I'd see what some opinions were on this one.

The Lighting looks good.
What is that she is wearing up top?
The pose of her looking up just doesnt work for me.

How does the client like it?

Light looks great--the thing is, when she looks up, the light is basically coming from below relative to her face, which results in just a little bit of the 'campfire scary face' effect.

Something about her expression and the way she's looking up made me chuckle, but I enjoy the light & processing.

Thanks. The top is several wraps of tulle. I figured the looking up pose wouldn't work for some, but strangely that's why I like it especially with her almost laugh as if saying "this is almost over".

I didn't think about that at the time, should've left the hair light on. I may add a little dodging around the eyes.

Thanks. Hope the chuckle was in a good way :). It's pretty much the reason I like this one so much.

If her face was exposed a bit better it would be a slightly better photo. Though, for some reason the photo itself isn't working for me. Maybe because we all got used to "I am so sad that I am pregnant" style of maternity which is often seen :) lol
I would change hue in red toward green by about 3 in Photoshop as the skin is slightly reddish
