Maternity Shoot

These are a few photographs from my first maternity shoot. All opinions are appreciated. Thanks Glenn

The first thing that comes to mind to me is that maternity shots are all about the belly.

In your first one, it's simply a couple's pose, no emphasis on the belly. If you'd had them pose with hands on her belly, it'd bring it out more. In the 2nd one, you did have the hands on the belly, but she's in a shapeless top that does nothing to emphasize her belly.

Other than that, lighting and exposure look good. Watch out for your backgrounds, in the first one she's got flowers growing out of her head.

Keep shooting and posting! You're off to a good start.

You're welcome. Glad you took my critique in the helpful way it was intended. But, before the mods get to you, you might want to have a look at the Critique Forum Rules.
