My first Maternity Photo shoot in Goa, India

Hello everyone!

How are you all doing?
I have been pretty busy these couple of days, so couldn't blog, my apologies.

I have been experimenting lately with different types of photography and I have been very blessed to shoot a very young and bubbly couple who are expecting their first child.

I just told them about my new venture on Sunday right after the morning church service and told her my idea of dress and location, and this couple were more than happy and obliged to participate.

I was pretty anxious as to how the shoot would progress as this is my first time, I really prayed hard for everything, and I decided to experiment with all the shots I had noted in my Idea book which I keep updating everyday.

I wanted the shoot during the dawn so that I could have those beautiful sunlit pictures of the gorgeous mom-to be, but the day was very over cast and I doubted if I will be able to use just the natural light to brig in the magic.

In-spite of certain difficulties, I got my kiddo ready, and left for my client's place at 4.00, and was pretty happy to see her wearing a dress as I had envisioned, and my floral headbands which I fixed very urgently were a hit too, she looked dashing in my blue headband which was in contrast to the pink shades of their dresses.

We thought of a location earlier but due to lack of much light decided to check out a location very close to the client's house, and that was what I exactly wanted and praised God as soon as I saw the place. I had also prayed for pink flowers, cause that was the theme but couldn't find something fitting my imagination. but as soon as I reach the location I see the dry grass lined with wild asteraceae pink flowers everywhere, I grab a few, n viola and my DIY prop is ready. I was very happy and praised God again.

The lady just entered her 8th month, and was very radiant, she does not have any fat at all and I pretty surprised by her posing abilities, on the contrary I was scared and extra careful, but the girl was very enthusiastic and climbed the lil' hillocks with ease. 

She, is a natural poser, and her husband too, they made my work pretty easy, and dressed perfectly too.  
Hope you like my work.
