This is my best friend and her boyfriend. They are expecting a little boy on July 17th.
The background is a large window with white curtains and a lot of sunshine. I bounced my flash from a wall behind me to light them up.
Post processing included convertion from RAW, gaussian blur, levels, smart sharpening and maybe a couple of other things I cannot remember right now.

totally awesome .. the way the dress follows the lines of her body if she wasnt pregnant and her swollen belly sort'v emerging from it is wonderful .. the skin, the hands, the pose, the expressions totally beautiful .. =10
I generally do not like pregnant woman photos, I don't know why, they just do not appeal to me. I like the softness of this photo, the light is very good. 8 from me.
This is very well done. I often think these poses can be awkward, but you've captured it beautifully. The lighting is very nice here too. It also dosn't hurt to have beautiful subjects!
Very nice! You have a bit of a streak on the background that is a little distracting to me (it's down the left edge), but overall I think you did very well.
Very professional - I like the glow from behind them - nicely highlights the whole "glowing moment" kinda thing for a pregnancy shoot. And strangely, neither looks terrified. :-)
