Very nice for a first try! I do not have much in the way of critique for improvement, just my opinion that the first two are better than the thrid and that the flower was a nice touch and sets it apart.

I think these are great shots, especially for a first try. I also like the first two the best. Good job!

I also like the 1st image. I saw a piece of material behind her that wasn't good showing. I saw some great rim lighting and enhanced that. I also made it into a "limited edition" look presentation.

Wow 18! I had my first at 20....Tell her to enjoy b/c it goes so quick...Now my oldest is 14 and I tell her stuff when I was her age....you know like our grandparents did but it wasn't that long ago. Nice pics...flower in last one a bit distracting.

I really like these! I'm not wild about the flower as I think it takes away from the beauty of pregnancy.

I also like the first one the best. The expression on her face said a lot -- motherhood.
