This the prettiest expectant mommy I photographed all summer. I love her confidence and beauty. Can you believe she had her baby boy the very next week? This pose was definitely a collaboration with the subject. I was thinking more vertical in composition, and she asked to "recline like a Nubian queen". It's always a joy to improvise like this on a shoot. Kinda like playing jazz.The other unexpected thing was how much I liked the color images. We had agreed to "think black and white" going into the session, since that's what she was really aiming for: an elegant black and white portrait of her with her 2-year old son. This is image she chose to have us print for her home.
