wasn't really a critique, just a pointer for your next maternity shoot. If you were to look at image #2 and #4 just by themselves, you would wonder if she is pregnant. Maybe just a slight turn to one side or the other to help accentuate her bump. Other than that, very nice images and thanks for sharing. Also, if you are looking for CC, you need to edit your post to CC instead of NC.

Thanks for the input :) I wasn't looking for critique but I don't think people should have to shy away from sharing their opinion either so I put that in the post that anyone can post their thoughts. Also, as a woman who has been pregnant before (bleh) I try to not focus only on the tummy in a maternity session, especially when it's a couples shoot...because us ladies already feel rather unattractive due otoour expanding waistline. I prefer to focus on the interaction and chemistry of the couple, which clearly got them in this state in the first place ;) so I like to make it more of a couples shoot than a maternity shoot per say.

Gorgeous! I love the flare on the first one. It's very sensual and connected. Great job!
