Default Maternity (my first!)

I put out a casting call for Maternity models and one responded fairly quickly. I took a lot of images of her and ended up proofing her 40 even though I typically aim for 20-30. I'm really proud of these. It was overcast, so I had to bump the saturation a tiny bit.

Yes the mother did like them! She didn't like how bloated her face looked, but that's why I also had some crops of just the belly. There's not a whole lot I can do about the face without it looking horrifically photoshopped with the lovely Liquify filter

She is going to bring me on to do the newborn photos as well. I haven't done one yet, which is why I have the casting call without session fees.

Nicely done, Georgia and you should be proud of these. They are quite professional.

Georgia, these are all wonderful! You did great work. I'm especially drawn to the third one; the b/w, the centeredness of it, and her charm bracelet is a perfect touch. Nice job on all!
