Friday Foto

Today is Friday, finally. This weekend is going to be great. It is my wife's birthday and we are celebrating. I'm taking her shopping tomorrow (I'll bring a gun for myself) and out to dinner tomorrow night. Tonight we are going out to dinner at the new Cloister. We have a gracious friend who is taking us.

Yesterday afternoon I broadened my photographic horizons. I delved into Maternity Photography. I wanted to try it because there seems to be a market for it down here and I might have a possible in into it with a friend opening up a maternity wear shop.

I haven't processed the photos from last night, but I pulled one out for you guys to see. Let me know what you think, really.... I took a lot more in different posses and with kids and husband. She is a classic pianist, hence the piano. Post your comments. Oh, and the other foto... that is obviously not the same lady... it's just a funny picture.

LOVE the maternity photo... love the black-and-gold of the image. I love that it's not just about the baby, but about the mother's interests, too! That is a really unique approach, and I encourage you to go in that dierection. DEFINITELY capitalize on the friend opening the maternity shop! You could totally take some pictures of women modeling the fashions the store has to offer, then maybe your friend could hang some framed images in the new shop, and it will help you promote your work! I bet you found an untapped market! Just be warned that some people like their maternity photos in the buff! (So be ready for anything!) I say, GO FOR IT!! Good luckity-luck!

Hey Ben.....I was just checking out your website, I like it! And the Picture of Mrs. Michelle (the pregnant woman) is beautiful! You did a good job of capturing her....I know that whole family well. Their new baby - George - is beautiful as well. Anyways, just thought I would tell you what a good job you did with that. Hope you're doing well! Love ya, rachel jones
