On Saturday May 14 I photographed Sheron , a mother-to-be in her 27th week of pregnancy, and Charlie- her husband. This is just the second session in what will hopefully be a 3-4 part collection tracking her pregnancy up until the baby is born.

She’s The baby’s much bigger this time around, naturally. But mommy is still  just a tiny bit herself, having only what might be anyone’s guess as just a basketball – in her pouch.

We wanted to keep some things similar-ish this time around, such as the scene , and her wardrobe — as much as could be anyway. Carrying a baby inside can make it difficult to fit into old clothing, they tell me. But we managed to keep up some consistency.  The reason it matters is that I’d like to have a record that we can easily look at and tell how much the baby has grown , as compared to Sheron herself; and having the same clothing helps make that delineation.

I hoped to get outdoors to take advantage of natural light, but the weather wasn’t favorable enough. Next time , we’ll definitely plan according to the weather so we can work outdoors.

My personal assistant in-training came along this time– to help me keep track of equipment, and to take note of details that I might miss as we were shooting.

The opportunity was also taken to introduce Michele to Sheron, my long-time friend whom she ought to have met long ago at her and Charlie’s wedding , but ….details…details.

So that was nice.

This time around , since the baby was much bigger, I felt more conceptual and creative freedom to express the theme of the session.

These are just a few frames from our most recent session:

This lil guy is her 2-month old nephew.

GOOD TIMES! Can’t wait til the next time I get to see em. Stay tuned.
