After spending the afternoon doing headshots for Malynda’s upcoming CD release, we spent the evening at a more casual pace doing portraits of her family as well as maternity photos.  It made for a fun day in that I had the opportunity to try out so many different feels, backgrounds, and lighting techniques all in the same shoot – from “fashiony” headshots, to capturing her boys bounding around the studio, to creating a moody feel for the maternity shots.  One of the more interesting challenges was making the transition from avoiding Malynda’s belly at the start of the day to making the belly the central focus of the images by the end.  What was also remarkable was how well Malynda – being 7+ months pregnant – pulled off the entire shoot.  Some faves from Part II:
