 I am honored Maria asked me to photograph her in her last weeks of pregnancy. Photographing a pregnant woman is truly a magical experience as it changes the feeling studio has for sometimes.
In this shoot I have slightly adjusted the red tones.

Technically seems pretty good, I like the lighting and the choice of backdrop. Good composition.

Ohhh if only the model was further away from the background so it would blur. Really nice photo. Oops just noticed the undies near her bottom showing that could easily have been covered as well.

i like the idea of this picture, but i think the background should have been more tone down to match her body and facial expressions.
