Well looks like I am going to be doing some maternity shoots as the people call me whose weddings that I shot.
This is Suzanna, one of my favorite brides.
And I have decided I like the couples maternity idea better than the naked belly idea :). (The cool tone is on purpose)

Wonderful. This is a shot that will not give the child nightmares in fifteen years.

Great pic!

Why the intentional cool tone?

I agree -- great shot. Very nice moment you caught. But the cool tones are too cool for me -- her hands, in particular, look gray and kind of zombie-like on my monitor, thus negating the anti-nightmare pose :-)

Thanks for the comments.
The cool tone suits the color mix for me.
It looks good in color and black and white also....just like the mood of this one.

Nicely done. The composition is just great as my eyes are locked on their faces and the hands on the belly. I just keep moving on that diagonal that you created. Plus this is so much better than most naked belly shots.

Fine job Zoomer.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clean, natural, color adds to the story.
I honestly like it a lot.
