Technically, we've got 9 days left, but he could really show up about any time now. I've had this picture in mind for a little while. Shortly after finding out Paige was pregnant, I did a few searches on-line for maternity pictures and this was one of the first ones I saw that I really liked. I saved the picture in a file of 'maternity pictures to take' and stored it away until Paige was pregnant enough to actually ge it.
Finally, her belly was big enough to get the picture I had in mind, so we set up the other night and went about trying to capture it. It was really a pretty simple picture to take. We used her 'Moby' wrap as the cloth wrapped around her. While the wrap is designed to hold a baby, it works pretty well as a body wrap too.
The set up for this picture is pretty similar to many of the other ones I've done. After capturing the image, I brought it into Photoshop, adjusted it a bit, then extended the background to make it look like she's standing in a much larger room than she actually was.
We've decided on a name for our little guy and I wanted to incorporate it into the image. Isaac is my middle name, which I've always really liked and have always wanted to name my child. David is a pretty regular name between both of our families and I thought that it flowed really well with Isaac. I like the way the two names sound together and can't wait to actually use it to him in person.
Let me know what you think:
Update:
I found a couple flaws with the photo above and tweaked it a little more. I cropped in a bit, centered the text properly, brightened Paige and edited out a white line in the top middle of the photo. Also added a signature. I like this version better.
