second shoot

This morning I had the pleasure of shooting a lovely family who is expecting a baby girl in just two short weeks.  I could get used to this maternity shoot thing....  How fun to capture these moments before a new life enters a family.

This is one of my faves so far....

ISO 800 f/3.5, 1/200, 28mm

At this shoot I learned: not to be afraid to pose my models and rearrange all of their furniture so I can create the shot I see in my head.  

I still desperately need to figure out what to do with sunlight streaming in through the windows.  Put subjects right in the light?  To side of light? across the room from the light? Meter for the light, meter for the subject .. ahh all still a guessing game for me..
