 From my first 'maternity shoot' that I just did for my nephew and his lovely wife. I thought the shoot went very well, and I got some great shots. In fact, I had a real hard time deciding what to enter :-)
I used a bright lit window behind them with a white curtain on it for the backlighting, then my jury rigged light set up with a white umbrella as a soft box from the front right, and diffused flash for fill, and a silver reflector on the floor in front of them. This is my most aggressive lighting endeavor to date, and would welcome any comments as to what I did right or wrong :-)

In ps- cropped, levels, curves, channel mixer to go b/w, curves again, resize, sharpen, border, sfw

Great warmth in this image, the lighting is good too, the focus seems to be a lil soft on the faces which ar an integral part of the feeling. Nice composition though

I always hate to see those pregnancy shots when the couple is looking at the camera smiling as they're touching the belly. This is much more genuine and sincere. Nicely done.

Nice depiction of love... The background it just a tad too bright for me since you're losing parts of the shoulders and her hips into the white, and it's also very contrasty (is that a word?) compared to the shadows of her face.
