Tanya – Maternity
I don’t know about you, but I have never been a fan of maternity photography. It seemed like someone set down some ground rules and everyone just followed them. Personal I hate (strong word I know but…) the “Heart Hands” over the stomach, the block letters, the kissing of the belly and I can’t even look at Tulle any more!
But not all is lost! I have run across a few photographers that have taken the whole maternity session and gone lifestyle/editorial. It’s these photographers I have taken after when I have done my (very few) maternity sessions and Tanya is my latest.
Tanya is a natural at this whole picture taking thing, I hardly had to give her much direction which is a huge plus for me and the images. I am always worry about dealing with expecting mothers, with Tanya I was constantly asking “You OK?”, “How you doing”, “You getting tired?”. I actually think it may have been a little annoying for her lol. All things turned out and Tanya put up with me and my worrying long enough to get some killer shots, I’m really starting to enjoy this maternity thing!

David,
You really nailed it here. Well done! It's so refreshing to see a completely different take on the maternity sub-genre. Keep up the good work.

Really nice shots David. How long was the shoot? Looks like a couple of locations?

Yes it was three locations, here home, a park I use a lot and a farmers field. All in all the shoot was about 2 hours long.

Beautiful work! Love the cozy pj's and the nursery shots, and also adore the colours and compositions of your outdoor work
