Hey guys..just needed some help/advice on this situation

So a close friend of my is preggers..and she wants to have a photosession. She prefers to do it in her apartment or outdoors (its very very nippy here atm in NYC)

Her apartment is pretty long, i think they call it a railroad aparment or something..anwywho..her apartment isnt messy..its just full of clutter (perfumes, knick knacks, gadgets etc) especially in the bedroom. we had a pre shoot just to see how things will go..and the clutter really got in the way of composition.

I'm trying to find away to make this work with out her and her husband rearranging things. I suppose i can do a tight crop on everything but im sure thats going to get boring after a while. I can try my best to compose it so that the clutter is minimal at best.

Is there anything i can do in photoshop to futher "blur" out the background with out making it unnatural?

...im seconds from just hauling her ass out in the cold and shooting her...no pun intended lol

any suggestions is MUCH appreciated
