Luckily though, a friend was willing to let me capture her a few weeks before she was due, and then of course once little baby P was born, I did her newborn shots too. This shot is a composite of two images - a nice close up of the bump, with the mum's arms cradling it, and a curled up newborn shot. Getting it into position with the baby in proportion to the bump was quite tricky, but I'm pleased with the result. I've always struggled to relate pregnancy with a baby - part of me still believes my Ob/Gyn was a master magician, who magic'd my babies from thin air! This image kind of lets us imagine that there really is a baby inside there.
