Photo Recipe for a Pregnancy Shoot – 11 poses to try!

Me Ra Koh

BONUS:ย  When you think ALL your natural light is gone, and you simply don’t have enough light to work with–consider what story is waiting to be told.ย  This was our last shot, long after the sun had set.ย  I didn’t think I had enough available light to pull it off, but I thought about the story being more about the quiet, almost covered, innocent moment then simply getting a photo that has enough brightness.ย  Sometimes we are so focused on having bright enough photos, we can miss the beauty of photos that hold their story in the fading light.

With her blue top, argyle socks, and low-low lighting…this is my favorite of the day!
