Some images I never got around to post before. It’s a mix from different maternity portrait sessions… I have many more waiting to be edited and maybe some day I will update the bellies section on my website as well!

Last week I got my new piece of studio equipment, a beauty dish reflector that I just can’t wait to use for my upcoming model shoots. Incredibly enough, I didn’t have time to experiment with it until yesterday afternoon. My days are getting so busy lately I can’t even imagine what it will be like when the baby is here. We are finishing off the last things on the to-do list for baby because the end is near and who knows when this little guy decides to come out (btw, there are only about 6 more weeks left until my due date!).

Back to that reflector, I really like it so far but I have yet to test its full potential with a maybe a little less tired model than my lovely husband, who was not so willing to pose for me yesterday. In fact, he would have rather taken a nap. Anyway, here are a couple of shots:

He was just too tired. Taking a nap in studio…

As a bonus here is a little belly too:

I had promised myself to document this pregnancy extensively but it is easier said than done. As my belly grows, my energy for selfportraits lessens. The heaviness is not very motivating… and I will shortly embark the 9th month, nothing will get any easier for sure.

I shot with Kylie about a month ago but I have been such a procrastinator lately that the only image I posted from the shoot was this one:

On the same day we shot another 4 looks, but I will only show two more today as the rest I have yet to edit.

The colorful series starts with some yellow.

Other two colors coming up next… and maybe some more from these ones.

This is the second time I shoot with Max (maxvangeli.com) and here is a little sneak peek of what we shot today:

Warming up with something soft…

Some action!

After being helpful all along during the shoot, here is Viktor’s turn to be under the spotlight. Viktor is Max’s manager and the session wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without him to set Max straight!

Many thanks to Ema for being my assistant today. I have to say that the four of us really had a great time! We topped the day off with crazy group shots. Some of those may be coming up soon.

This is a fresh sneak peek of today’s photoshoot. I have worked with Tina several times since last year when I first met her. More pictures coming up soon.

Foggy, as in most days…

Why so dressy?

Why not? :)

We are very proud parents-to-be.
By the way, bets are open: will our baby BOY be brown-eyed like myself or rather blue-eyed and blond like daddy? Leave a comment, let me know what you think!

Impressive enough, Markino still fits in the wedding suit! The tie is just the latest crazy one I got him.

Something a little more casual.

All pictures of me are self-portraits and the bump you are seeing is an almost 31weeks pregnant belly (rockin’ the 8th month right now). 9 weeks to go before the baby is here…

Why self-portraits? I hate being photographed by other people. May sound crazy, but I am totally uncomfortable in front of the camera when somebody else is behind it. It’s a little harder and time-consuming but I’ve found that self-portraits are the way to go.
