It is their first child together. They were both pretty excited for this event and asked me to come take some pregnancy photos of her. I showed up with camera and speedlights ready to shoot. I saw a big open window and decided to use this for the lighting so we hung a huge sheet over it. The room didn't provide the ambiance I wanted so I decided to make this a backlit photo. This way, she would be the main focus. I asked her to put on some white clothes so her skin would really pop and be the main focal point of the photo. After all, it's her belly we wanted everyone to focus on.
I took a few test shots and immediately knew I'd need some more light. I took out my larger reflector and propped it against the couch to shoot some light back at her. This lit her up beautifully. We were in business.
Her husband soon arrived home and we asked him to join her. He was a bit hesitant but after a few minutes of uneasiness, he finally relaxed and we got some great tender moments between him and his soon-to-be child.
