I was so excited when my hubby's little sis asked me to take some belly photo's for her :D
I'd never done any before so wasn't sure how I'd go but I'm so pleased with how they turned out. They're kinda cliched poses and I did a few with selective colouring but I don't care, lol.
They were a surprise for her partner for Valentines Day so I couldn't share until he'd seen them but he LOVED them, yay!
We did most of them in the kids play room standing against a black backdrop queen sized sheet haha because you get amazing light in there, it has huge glass windows and sliding doors to the back yard :)
I think this one is my favourite :)
This is my little neice :) Isn't she sweet?!
It's a boy! (If not I'll just change them to pink LOL!)
I really wanted to do something with the peacock feather but didn't know what so we just kinda stuck it there haha :D
She loved this one and was very happy to hear no touch ups were required on her legs to look this good, lol!
A special present from Daddy to be :)
I need to pin my backdrop down better so I don't lose toes, oops!
If you look carefully at the top right of her belly (or your left) you can see his foot poking out!!
We tried so hard to get her to kiss Mummy's belly but she wasn't having a bar of it, lol
Another favourite :)
Had enough by this stage, lol
weeeee!
This one was a bit tricky but I did my best! I had to get hubby to hold her scans up to the window and then take a photo of the best one, lol. Whatever happened to getting a picture print out?
All the B&W's were done using Mandy @ A Sorta Fairytale's B&W Fairytale actions in Onyx :)
So there you have it, sorry for the photo dump, lol.
Would love to know what everyone thinks? (bearing in mind I'm a beginner!) I couldn't get much out of hubby, he wasn't a fan of looking at his little sister in her knickers LOL!
Oh my, these are gorgeous! I love the one with the peacock feather and I love the one with your niece sitting astride her... actually, I love the lot of them! :) Great work!
