p.1 #1 · My very own Maternity Shoot!


My wife and I are expecting our first child... Charlotte Olivia Bibler is due January 4th, and my wife and I are extremely excited.
So, Saturday afternoon I asked my business partner, Dan Minor, to take some shots of us.

Images processed by myself, and posted with Dan's permission obviously.


1. My favorite I think... processing on this one inspired by Gabe McClintock

i liked the one with baby blocks.

but your post processing on #1 and #8 have the same texture (as you mentioned in #8 comment), but i would modifty the texture, or move it around, or change it up.

that paint chip in the texture just glares at you, and when you see the first image, it looks ok, but if you see it again, it just takes away from the 2nd, 3rd, etc picture. it makes the 1st picture post processing un unique.

just my thoughts, cheers

Thanks peoples

DPT, point taken on the texture... I processed them at different times, and the uploaded them at seperate times, so it didn't seem that bad.
But, it's definately super noticable when viewing them together... I'll mix it up a little tonight.

Thanks for taking the time.

I really like 1 and 4. I don't know if the texture works on the last one.

I would make the light a lot softer in 5 as it is a maternity shoot, so you want to have a gentle fill, not harsh strobing. But great work!

Thanks Deb

Thanks

I've updated the 8th shot with a different, slightly less intrusive texture.

I really like #4, may not have been your original idea, but very well executed.

I also like #8. Nice job.
