Lynsey’s Maternity Shoot – 28 Weeks

Posted by James - Friday, 1st May 2009

My wife, Lynsey and I wanted some maternity shots before the birth of our first baby. We’ll probably do another shoot nearer the birth date, but we wanted to try one now in case we left it too late! :)

All of these shots, except the last one, were taken with one strobe to the left of camera at various heights. I set up a black muslin behind and over our bed to give Lynsey a comfortable place to pose. Here are the results of my first attempt at maternity photography:

Lynsey Maternity - Bump

Lynsey Maternity - Bump

Lynsey Maternity - Top Down

Lynsey Maternity - Tape Measure

Lynsey Maternity - Rim Lighting

    These are great, she is very brave to let you post them! Love the one with the tape measure, and the lighting on the last one is stunning. What wonderful curves.

    These are wonderful, James. I think number 3 is particularly beautiful.
    These are going to be so precious when your baby is all grown up :)

    These are stunning. You should be very proud – as a photographer and as a dad-to-be. More please! There’s a few weeks left to do some more…

    Thanks to everyone for the really nice comments. I truly love the photos – I’m so lucky to have such a talented husband! (Oh my god, I’m naked.)

    The perfect example of how to look good naked!

    Well done both of you, Diane wishes she had some shots of her big boobs when she was pregnant.
