The 2nd half of the maternity portrait session is all about showing the beauty of the belly!   I really want to stress that clients are never asked to pose in a way that they are not comfortable with.

A lot of times the ladies are a little nervous so it really helps to leave these types of maternity portraits to the second half.   After 45 minutes or so they are usually settled in and have had a chance to get to know me a bit and that seems to make it a lot easier.

For a maternity pose like this, the client still has her pants on and she is simply covering the breast area.  I love how the light really highlights the roundness of her belly.  Also, I love how you can’t tell who it is in the photo - I think that really adds to the image.  Enjoy!
