My wife is now over 7 month pregnant and soon I will be a dad again. Because I still have a cast on my foot it makes taking photos a little hard but we figured we better get started taking photos. I did my first maturity photo shoot with my wife the other night. My small (or should I say tiny) photography budget allowed me to purchase a $20 worklamp (500 watt ) which we angled upwards using the ceiling as a deflector. For about $25 we got about 7 meters of black cloth for a back drop.

I hope to do at least one more formal setting and then a couple of more creative style photo shoots, but that all depends how my hot maturity model feels. Two see these photos please visit my photography site: www.orlund.com.
