I know a lot of people on here often look for ideas for Maternity shoots. I thought I would share this image I did. It took 9 months to complete and the client loves it. It should open up some ideas for some of you.

Click on view full-sized image for better detail.

Here is one of the shots from the pre-birth shoot. She was due at this stage.

I then went on to shoot the birth at 2-00 in the morning.

After the shoot I then did babies first shoot.

Thanks everyone. I just uploaded and edited my OP to show and explain what I covered for this client and her baby.

Ohmygosh, Judi! That is BRILLIANT! I'm in awe, and I am definitely going to try that. Was this for someone special that you didn't charge them? If it was a client, how did you charge them for something like this. It is the coolest maternity photography I've ever seen!

You need to work out your costings over the timeframe. Will it be at their place your yours...how much time involved for each shoot. Will you cover a prebirth shoot, a birth shoot and/or an after birth shoot (usually in first 2 weeks). Then offer them the different services and allow them to pay it over time or if you insist on upfront payment. A lot to take into consideration...but well worth it.

With an off-sider we were able to get in to their place, set up studio, get lighting and pose/costume right, shoot, set down studio and get out in 40 minutes.

With costume you need to make sure the outfit can fit all sizes...they can change their hair but any hair accessories must stay for consistency. Pose the model to allow for best viewing of all changes throughout the time-frame.
