Still sporting the 'glow'

Beautiful shots of a beautiful woman Brian!! This is kind of "nit picky" but I would take the healing brush to the background to remove some of those wrinkles. Either that or hit it with a steamer... :biggrin:

I really like the 3rd image, but it looks slightly underexposed. A little levels adjustment in PS would really make it pop.

 

That's pretty funny. :biggrin: I just picked up a 5x7 portable background, but while experimenting I found that I need something bigger, unless I'm doing simple headshots.

 

Your wife looks gorgeous in these shots. She definitely has the glow. You might want to try moving her a little further away from the background and then using DOF to throw it slightly out of focus.

 

A beautiful combination of charm and elegance - gorgeous images!

 

Brian, I tweaked the last image a little by moving the right slider in levels until it contacted the data in the your histogram. I then dropped the brightness a little with the Brightness/Contrast slider. See what you think?

 

Her necklace looks like it has turned around with the clasp in front.

As pretty as she is, that's easy to overlook.

 

Brian beautiful shots of your beautiful wife. I think I prefer the maternity type poses liek yoru avatar where yoru wife is concentrating more on her belly than smiling for you.. just my 2 cents..She might even feel more comfortable that way..

 

I have a few as well, I dont think i have ever seen any thing with more wrinkles than the backdrops from them.... 

 

Oh and nice Job!

 

Great shots, and you're lighting setup is serving you well. nicely done.

 

If you're looking for maternity check out ILP. Its very estrogencentric but a good place for kids portraits and maternity. There's some really talented ladies and some really bad ones.

Brian,
She looks beautiful. I never got a photo of me when I was pregnant years ago. She will love these. I like these better than ones I have seen with the bare belly showing. (Guess I am a bit old fashioned!)

I've got two backdrops coming today. Hope I can get the wrinkles out of mine. I guess that the wrinkled look is in if you keep it really wrinkled. Not sure if I would like that look, though.

I have been using a curtain for my backdrop. It didn't look good, until I tried what Gordon suggested--moving the model further away. Then it worked fine.

 

the first is drop dead beautiful. Great color processing and the pose is so much more telling that she is pregnant. Very nice. I'll buy inbto the advice that the bg looks a little too wrinkled though.

 

That is the way it's suppose to be...the clasp is suppose to be in the front...due to the charm...

Anyway, you need to give us the particulars...how far along...girl or boy...when is the little miracle due?
