Two Peas in a Pod

Heather had her twins in June (see post below) but I never posted her beautiful belly; I photographed Mama Heather in May.  We had a great time in my studio coming up with various poses to show off her growing belly.  Hard to believe two little peanuts are in there!  

Bellies R Us

I come from a family of photographers...which comes in really handy when you need stuff.  Today, it was a studio. Yup, an actual studio.  Of course, I had to do a little borrowing first... A backdrop from my sister, lights and umbrellas from my dad and Voila - Welcome to Tricia's [temporary] Home Studio!

The really cool thing about being a photographer is meeting people. I know it's cliche, but it's true. I was blessed to have met Samantha a year ago at a playgroup photoshoot and was honored when she thought of me to do her maternity portraits. Earlier in the week I captured her with her family and today it was just the two of us in "my studio" (love saying that!).  

Samantha's daughter is due any second now so we were thankful to successfully make it through both photoshoots.  And by successful, I mean I'm pretty sure Sam's water breaking all over the backdrop would be a deal-breaker with my sister ;)  

Check out this cute baby belly....  

        

Having a little fun in Photoshop... What do you think? 

Meetup: Maternity Photoshoot

On Sunday I met up with four other photographers at Blush Boudoir in Old Town Sacramento for a maternity photoshoot.  They provided us with a very lovely, very pregnant model and time to complete a full session shoot.  I rarely photograph indoors (I some day hope to have the luxury of my own studio) so this was a treat!

Here are some shots from the day...
