started off the weekend with a shoot for an expectant mom (first paid maternity stint--yeah!)
and we were off to CT for the next three days (pics to follow in a few days)

these are some of my favorites from the shoot... using either the 18-50mm lense or the 105mm... all set at 200, varying everything else... light was difficult for me...it was miday to one oclock sun strong and BRIGHT...tried my best

she had wanted BW and I have all in color and BW for her---we also taked about a soft diffused look so I played on PS... anyway hope everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend and I'll be back in a few days since I can't sit for too long.....I'm recovering from a fall from a pool deck landing/steps :rolleyes:
I'm a dork it'll be funny when my back stops throbbing :( I'm fine ...later everyone :D

the mom to be is such a wonderful person...very comfortable in front of the camera dn dad was great too... these are my favs smae one but in color and this one of beautiful mommy...

I will be doing folow up baby shots when the little one arrives and that should be fun ---i have tons of ideas...thanks for looking...later
;)

Excellent use of that D70 Nat!
I like them all!
I am sure the couple will enjoy them too!
Hang in there with the back!

You really have an eye for these family type of portarits Nat.
I for one am glad you are a member of our photo community.
Even though I don't always comment on your stuff, I do look.
Thanks for posting these!

my hubby said something similar... he said it in that husband open mouth insert foot style...but he meant what he said as a compliment he later relaized it kinda sounded bad...but I'll take any compliments these days ;)

is my favorite. Something about prego ladies in glasses that really does it for me :)

Can't wait to see the baby shots.

that'son of my favs... she wanted a shot was more of what she generally looks like (hair up and glasses) and after I saw her I made a joke about it turning into a budoir shot of a accountant gone "bad" and she laughed and said...

Yeah! can you make me look sexy, "bad" but maternal... so I told her she was already there.

she was so much fun to work with...I had only been around her once before for a few hours...she's a hoot
