Two weeks to go...

One of the most challenging things I have done as a photographer is to photograph women in the final stages of pregnancy. This is a time when to us they look beautiful, but to them they are feeling fat, uncomfortable and ready for the whole experience to be over. To get them to relax enough to capture this special moment in their lives can be a real challenge.

Today's model is Elyse and she is two weeks away from giving birth to her daughter. With her mother to keep a check on how she was looking (and to provide the clothing) we managed to achieve some stunning images of Elyse that I hope she will enjoy for many years to come.

New Beginings

I photographed Haidee and Mark's wedding a few years back so when the opportunity came about to do some pregnancy photography with them I jumped at it. They are a fun couple to work with and I enjoyed the morning we spent together.


This is only the second preggy shoot that I have done so I did some research on the web prior to them arriving. I find the internet a fantastic place to get ideas from and while we might copy some of the ideas we find, we do put our own spin on them. After looking at the images I found, Haidee bought along the appropriate props to achieve the look we wanted.



Hopefully in a month or so I will get to photograph their wee baby boy. It's an awesome thing to be able to photograph the different milestones of their lives together - I feel very privilaged.
