Edwin & Holly's Maternity Session
Or 'bump shoot' as we photographers like to call them. :)
I think these are my favourite kinds of photo sessions. I love weddings for similar reasons: people are in love and happy and there's a great sense of entering into a new phase in their lives. But weddings also have lots of drunk people dancing really badly and maternity sessions don't. Score one for maternity sessions. ;)
Seriously, there's just something really touching about a maternity session—the couple in love and already in love with a baby that hasn't even yet made an appearance. They are quite intimate and exciting, especially when it's the first child.
You may notice that I haven't said much about Edwin and Holly yet. That's just because, while I found the time I spent with them doing the photos to be fun, it was also private in that I shared a special insight into their lives as parents-to-be; and so I'll just let the images speak for themselves.
