Well, details... Nigel rented a house wit...Hey Liz!<br />Well, details... Nigel rented a house with his family near the beach. About 6 women came in and out to get their photos taken throughout the afternoon. One he said approached him at Whole Foods the day before just to say hi, when he noticed that she was pregnant... he asked if she would be up for some photos. The other women found out through word of mouth (he posted about it on his blog and I blabbed to my prego friends).<br /><br />Hair and makeup guys... how cool. He had them wear robes too so that they wouldn't have any lines from their clothes (ah, saves in post processing). <br /><br />The whole shoot lasted maybe 20 minutes or so. He took each woman into a kind of a studio he created in the small backyard...not like the fancy studio he has in NY I'm sure. My friend Danielle let me watch her session (thanks!!)... he gave her a posing suggestion and then would tell her to turn her head one way, look that way, okay, now put your head back a bit more... and he'd snap a few shots here and there. So unlike my spazziness shooting 2 year olds. lol. It was very relaxed and I think even Danielle felt at ease even though she was 38 weeks pregnant and naked. <br /><br />Nigel was very passionate when talking about this book he wants to put together, but also very understanding to each woman's comfort level. All the photos are very tasteful...and I can't wait to see how he captures Danielle and Alyssa (especially Alyssa's awesome tatoos!).umami photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03911522648800989813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339824008557884660.post-56035144677143609172009-05-28T05:50:38.916-07:002009-05-28T05:50:38.916-07:00Heather that's amazing!
