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.

Well this was about two weeks ago now.
We took a week off to visit friends in Mobile so I had not had a chance to work on these images.
This was one of those sessions ware I thought it would go great or really bad no in between.
Moniqua wanted some implied nude images to go with the belly cast that she was planning to do.
We’ll to say the least I was a bit nervous and I did not that make my subject any more uncomfortable than I imagined she would be being nude in front of some one she had never met before.
Not to mention in talking to Moniquia before the session I learned she had gained 60 lbs during he pregnancy so posing would be an issue.
Things turned out great and all my wory was for not.
Moniqua was so calm and genuinely happy to be documenting this stage in her life that she calmed me down!
I think we got some excellent images.
If your interested in booking a session just drop me a note to don@donsmithpics.com
I’ve added a video at the bottom of the post in case you want to do a belly cast of your own.






Well I’ve been a little lazy on the blogging the last couple of weeks I’ve been staying plenty occupied with shoots and I figured I better start sharing.
I did a beach maternity shoot this week with Xanka who moved to Sarasota from Belarus Russia. She is a model and art teacher and already has two lovely girls.
The shoot was on Long boat Key just south of Coquina beach.
It really was a great day light breeze and blue sky’s hard to ask for anything more.
If your interested in booking a photo shoot just send me an email







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 .






Barbie and I had a wonderful maternity shoot with Kumiko on Thursday.
Kumi is 7 months pregnant with her first child. She was such a contagious fun person to be around.
Kumi does wild animal rehab, you can check out her website for more info on what she does and make a donation to help the animals .
