Found this lovely blond as a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot earlier this year, so offered to do a maternity session with her if she was willing to invest in a long flowing dress. She did that and we just did the session earlier this week.
I used the same pose in all three of these shots as I was just looking for one standalone image to come from this session, and this was the look I wanted. Didn't realize I was going to like three shots equally, so thought I'd hear from you guys what your faves are. Comments always welcome.
I like them all; however, I would have "cloned" out the 2 horizontal lines on her belly in #2. I'm guessing they are from the elastic in her pants/shorts she wore to the shoot?

If I had to choose, I'd say the second, followed by the first (with a different placement of her train). Always nice to see your work, Ron.
Thanks! We had some choices with her dress flowing down and this is the one that spoke to me. Curious to see what she chooses.

Nice catch! Just fixed it in the file the client will see.
These are lovely Ron.
I would Have liked one to be against a sky background and not fauna.
would have really made her stand out with the color of the dress.

Yeah, Bud. So would I. I'm from the southwest USA where we have gorgeous canyons and lots of sky to shoot. But now I'm in the northwest suburbs where we have no such luxuries for our shoot. I actually picked this location because it gave me some space to shoot. So definitely with you, just no options here.
I like #1 and # equally...would be hard to pick one...I like that they are full body shots...#2 seems to be a very good head shot but needs more full length.
edits...#1 remove the fence..#2 fix the skin folds behind her arm (lower shoulder)...#3 slight horizon tilt?
I like the same pose different backgrounds...tough decision
