I thought about entering this one for "touch", but since it's so close to other entries I've done, I decided not to.

My friend saw my first set of maternity portraits I did for a coworker and asked if I would do some for her as well. I would change the hand placement just a bit, but I think this one is probably the best of the bunch this time. I would appreciate some critiquing.

I keep asking my pregnant models if they would be comfortable with some more "belly" shots...something that shows more skin and would be less of this "soft" look. So far, neither has been comfortable enough to do that.
Thanks!

Judy, very nice... good lighting and there is good seperation from her and the background material. I like that you have that material all around.

My first thought is that it doesn't stand out maternity because she is pretty well covered up; but her left hand placement does help. Ultimately it does come down to what the model is comfortable with and I think you created a beautiful image for her.

Yep...she'll know she was pregnant, but I wish I had placed her hands more obviously - perhaps pulling the material a bit tighter over the baby bump! Thanks for your comments.
