{Bump} The Adventurous Claire

A few weeks ago I photographed a very heavily pregnant Claire with just over a week to go before DUE-day. She was very relaxed and laid back and that was probably due to the fact that she's done it all before...

She has had 3 boys already (2 being twins) and guess what, the bump is another boy. I take my hat off to her, as I don't know how she does it. I only have one boy (and a girl) and he keeps me on my toes all the time.

I wanted to experiment with a couple of new ideas, so when I met Claire at a local toddler group I thought this was the perfect opportunity! I approached her and asked if she would consider having some maternity images done (and letting me experiment) in exchange for some photos. She jumped at the chance.

I think with Bump photos women tend to be divided into two camps:

"YES, I would quite like that" and they have maybe never thought about it

or "ABSOLUTELY NOT, I don't want a camera anywhere near me when I look like THIS!"

In both cases the reaction is very understandable. With my first pregnancy I loved being pregnant and I had a breeze. With my second (and last) he threw everything in the book at me and if somebody floated the idea of photos, I would have laughed at them. ;-)

Luckily Claire wanted some and here are just a couple from the day
(the rest were a bit too intimate to fit comfortably on this blog).

So what do you think? Would you, or did you have some done? Leave a comment and let me know...







This is my absolute favourite image from the day!! ;-)
