I really love doing maternity photography as a photographer using light to show the beauty of this completely amazing part of a woman’s life is just so rewarding it’s hard to describe.

I had a fantastic session last weekend with Lisa and Chris who are expecting there first child in about a month.
It’s going to be a boy but they haven’t decided on a name yet and told me it may come down to the wire on a decision .
This session was so much fun they were both truly excited to be recording this time in there lives and clearly love each other a great deal and I think it shows in the pictures .
The funniest part was when I asked Lisa if she wanted some shots with the little blue baby shoes I have as props and she said maybe and Chris chimed in and said “That means YES”
So here are a few shots from the session.
If you would like more information on booking a session send me an email. don@donsmithpics.com

I met Zoya through Xanka form the maternity shoot I posted previously.
Zoya I also from Russia .
We did this shoot in her home in Bradenton because she has two young children to keep up with while he husband was away on business.
I enjoyed getting out of the studio and the lighting challenges that presents .
I tried several lighting setups ffom a single off camera speedlight fired remotely by the Nikon CLS system to a studio strobe setup and some good old window light.








Tianna wanted her maternity images to be glamorous so she suggested that we do a session similar to the one Christina Aguilera did for Marie Clare magazine in January 2008.
I thought it was a great idea and I hope you agree.
We used a very basic HI Key set up for all the images .
