{maternity} Christy+Jonas+1

The challenge with creative photography, is how to remain creative with each shoot.

While many photographers are perfectly happy to use the same location, same setup, the same props since the couples ARE different, I like to mix it up every single time – which is a heckuva lot more work and time for me for each shoot, but that’s me. I just can’t do the exact same thing twice.

After all, many of my clients are referrals and know each other. I know I won’t like my photos to be the same as my best friend’s or a colleague’s.

In this aspect, it’s easier to shoot a wedding differently because so many of the details differ. When you’re the one setting up the details – the clothes, the props, creative as well as the general direction of the shoot – keeping it fresh is not an easy task.

I guess this is why the great photographers get paid big bucks (and I’m not one of them!)

Anyway, I present to you the lovely Christy+Jonas+1, the couple with the best looking bump at 37 weeks, hands down. I mean, just look at her. No swollen feet, no swollen face. Just a nice round bump for a baby girl who kicked her momma quite a few times during the shoot!
