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

CAPTURE:  You can experiment with your focus as you capture a mom-to-be.  If she is looking down at her tummy, focus on her belly button.  If she is looking at you, focus on her eyes.  If she is looking up to the sky with her eyes closed, I would still focus on her eyes.  And if she is looking out to the city, full of expectation of what is to come, I would focus on her face and all the peace it holds.

Me Ra Koh, The Photo Mom, shares her photo recipe for a pregnancy shoot with 11 poses to try

My DSLR Setting: Aperture was f/2.8, 1/100th of a second Shutter Speed and 40o ISO
