This last week the Hubby was out of town on a business trip and as the week went on I got bored enough to try and take my own Maternity Photos! ha! I had seen a couple pictures on Pinterest that were just done in the bedroom and I really loved them! So I just set my camera up on a tripod and went at it! And somehow they didn't turn out that bad... ;) I recently acquired Photoshop and Lightroom but I don't really know what I am doing, so I am sure my editing could use some help! But here are some pictures for you to see! With these window pictures I didn't really even edit them--the natural light coming in from the window behind me created a beautiful silhoutte. I love that they look soft and natural!
