So I've been trying to figure out my new camera. It is fabulous, by the way. I really wanted to get some professional photos of Jeff and I this summer, but after finding out I was pregnant (and checking out the costs), I decided against it. For now. We never even got engagement photos taken, so we've been wanting to get some pro photos. I guess we will just have to do so after our little one gets here! Of course I can't wait to do some newborn photos of him myself... :)
I have also been on the fence about getting maternity photos done. I've seen some really classy ones and some just plain awkward ones. There were some cute ones on Pinterest (see the name tag photo) and I also combined some ideas from the internet. My favorite is the Christmas tree photo. I saw one of two little kids standing in front of a lit up tree online and thought it would look cool to get a shot of my pregnant silhouette in front of the tree. In order to capture that shot the recommendation was to put the ISO on the camera as high as possible (mine went up to 6400), change the shutter speed to 1/30, and set the f-stop to 1.8 (mine would only go down to 4). The results turned out awesome! I plan to try this out in the future with my kiddos. I just wish my tree wasn't crammed in a corner with crap all around it. Any who... enjoy the photos!
PS... the doc put me on early maternity leave due to high blood pressure. Baby is looking great and his estimated weight is almost six pounds, but mommy is getting more uncomfortable by the day and now has lots more free time. This gives me more time to get my baking done and get the house ready for his arrival... at least after Christmas I'm hoping. I'll have to take some photos of the many different cookie recipes I tried out this year!
