 This is my sister, Chloe. She is 8 months pregnant with her first child...and my first nephew :)

She had wanted some photos of her 'bump' but didn't want her face in them! So, this was taken whilst she was sitting down 'resting' between shoots...she'll kill me when she finds out I took a sneaky one with her face in! ;)

I'm so glad you snuck this in. I can't imagine why she wouldn't want her face in it. She is so pretty -- and glowing in the anticipation of her new life about to begin.

I'm so sorry she's having such a hard time here at the end. I'm praying for her little family even as I write this.

((( Hugs to Chloe )))

I'm suprised no commenters 'bumped' this up T! I really like this shot and like Rina think it was a creative composition with just enough of the 'Talj' negative space. I didn't vote but would have started with at least a 6.

Nicely done T. Am a bit disappointed to see where this finished up. I feel it is one of the most unique crop/compositions for a maternity shot seen here in a while.

Great expression :-). I also like the way her top is the same colour as the background.
