I did my first maternity session this weekend and I can't lie, I was a little worried that I had no idea what I was doing.
At the end of the day I was really happy with the results. Here's one of my favorites from the session, that came out of an idea my wife Carrie suggested. She makes a great creative director!
Strobist:
- Lastolite Ezybox in front of subject w/ SB-26 on 1/16
- Bare SB-26 behind subject on the left. 1/32 power
- Triggered with skyports
Shot in my house...converted to a "studio" with blankets and lightstands. The vignetting is all natural here too.

Jon Ovington, Power_Unit, Melle Bé, Pisara Photography, and 85 other people added this photo to their favorites.
