Fall maternity session

Here are some from a recent maternity shoot. They arrived late so I didn't have much light to work with. She's not very big yet, but wanted to do them before winter set

Nice job Amber. I really like the pose and lighting on the first image. I'm not a fan of tilted images but image #2 is still pretty good. Nice job overall.

I like the balloons, it's a cute idea. Although because they are so large it makes it more noticeable how small she is. Smaller balloons and she would have looked huge! Great shots!

I'm not digging the facial expression in any of these. For me, that kills each photo right out of the gate not giving them a chance.

the first one is cute but I'm not liking the other two so much. The flash kills the second one for me.

no one else thinks these are soft?

just looks like web compression to me.

Yeah, flash is definitely too harsh..many shadows.

There are some crazy plane of focus tricks going on in that 1st one. 2 images merged? Heavy use of the blur tool? Also what is up with that bokeh in #3? Also a very odd ghost of the subject to the right.

Must admit that the lightly isn't amazing with the harsh shadows, but isn't horrible.

Though I will second the face expressions hurting the overall images quite a bit.

I'm sure the parents to be are thrilled though.

The 1st one is whack with the focus. I'm a bit lost but what is with the "ghosts" in the background. That's some weird bokeh.

Facial expressions are depressing and overall idk...seem impromptu and random. Not bad just nothing great.
