36 Weeks - We're in for double trouble

In March, (after the bumps seminar I attended a few weeks earlier), I tried something outside of my confort zone. I photographed a pregnant lady for the first time.

I really didn't know what to expect or how to go about it, so I enlisted some advice from my good friend Nikki Hill (who's somewhat of an expert in this field). Armed with all the knowledge that she imparted in me the night before, I felt ready to try anything.

I have to give all credit to my client/model (whose name I won't mention here for privacy reasons) for being up for trying most of the poses I suggested although it must have been fairly difficult to achieve them - she was within days of the end after all (with TWINS, did I mention that??). Everytime I suggested that we could stop now for she must be tired by now, she replied that she only needed 5 minutes to stretch her legs and then we could get going again.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and look forward to meeting the little ones once she's ready to receive visitors.

Here is a little panel I put together from the day...
