These are actually test shots for a maternity photoshoot that I stood in for to check the light. My friend (of the baby shower) asked me for some artsy black and white photos. So I needed to scout locations for privacy and test the light beforehand. I think I found some lovely options.
I wore black and white because my friend has paler skin than I do and will be wearing black. I wanted as close to possible as that so I could get a more accurate idea of how the contrast will turn out once I black and white the photos. A really good back and white photograph is much more than just applying a filter. Location also matters.
These photos make me realize how much I need my hair cut. The last time I went to the salon was February… I think? I’m definitely going to call for an appointment!
These are the best photos ever! They look really good. Do lots of your friends ask you to shoot photos of them?
It has been way too long since I’ve had a haircut too! Love your dress!
That was nice of you to test it out for her- I think the photos look really lovely. Also, I love the belted cardigan look! =)
I wanted to make the shoot as easy as possible for her because she’s due in less than a month, so picking a few locations first was crucial, no time for too many experimental photos!
I think you’ve found some pretty light, have fun with the shoot! Can’t wait to see the photos!
I probably won’t post any but I could set a few to different permissions on flickr (I have you on the friends list).
