Not your everyday Maternity session

Ill admit, maternity photography is not my main interest, but I decide to help some friends out who own a snake breeding business. This is one we came up with.
The snake is a Reticulated Python, and was well behaved. thanks for looking

Congratulations. I like the serpent backlighting.

Unique, and well done.

But I like snakes more than your average Joe.

Very nice.

The photos look nice...one thing i notice is the face looks over processed..other than that, good job with the capture.

I noticed the difference between the skin of the face and the skin of the belly. Maybe a little smoothing of the belly would make the face look less processed.

Great shot and idea. Just make sure there is a strong guy or two around just in case the snake gets a little photo shy.

her and her husband are snake breeders for pet trade, this is one of theirs, and as a avid snake enthusiast myself there was nothing to worry about with one this size. this was my first maternity shoot I was the lead on, and its something I usually dont focus on. but this one had some of my artistic touch to it, hench the editing. thanks.

i am disturbed and intrigued at the same time. Well done.

I agree the face is overly processed.

id call that a success face may be over processed by some normal port standards, but not by a long shot in the artistic side that I usually aim for. Not goin to change it any time soon. Heres the before, I thnk most will agree the edit is much more flattering, and really I didnt have to do much other then shadows.

Here's my crazy pregnancy portrait photo.
