Last week, my wife finished the first trimester of pregnancy that will mark the birth of our first child. I thought it might be interesting to take some photographs showing the progression of her pregnancy, and after some gentle prodding, she agreed to sit for me.
This is the first time I had ever attempted to take some serious portrait style photographs. And while not perfect, I thought this came out pretty good, all things considered.
To me, this depicts a captured moment of laughter as I managed to produce a little levity during what could have easily been a very akward setting. However, the only person with whom I shared this photograph commented that my wife looks as though she is screaming, not laughing.
I would be interested to know your thoughts and opinions.
I was searching the web to catch up on things I have missed over time. I want to wish you both lots of luck and health during this special time in a couple's lives together. Enjoy every cramp, pain, and happy kick you get. They grow up too fast.
Let me know where you are now.
Regards,
RAF

Thanks for the comment. A new format for a new photographer. I hope to improve my technique in the future, but I am glad to know that I was able to achieve my desired effect to a small degree.
