Nude Pregnancy Photography

Hello,

Although I read a lot of the post here this is actually me first question so

please forgive me if I get it in the wrong area or something.

I have an upcoming nude shoot with a pregnant model which I am very excited

about shooting because I have looked for a long time trying to find a model who

wanted to be photographed nude while she was pregnant. Anyway, I would like for

the images to be very artistic and classy in nature and most of them will

probably be finished in B&W. A few months ago when I decided I wanted to do a

shoot like this I found some very nice images done is a very artistic manner and

I thought they were fabulous. Now that I am looking for them to show my client

it seems all I can find are just the ones where a pregnant lady is either lying

on her back with her tummy sticking straight up or standing and showing the

profile of her tummy. I guess these are OK if this is what the photographer and

client was looking for but to me most of them just look like snapshots

highlighting the woman's tummy. I would like to do something much more

artistically than this. My client is very petite and in very good athletic

health and is still very active in her fitness routine so I would like to get

some images of her in various poses taking advantage of her athletic ability and

flexibility rather than just shoot her lying flat on her back or standing up

showing her tummy. Although I have exactly in my mind the type of shots I would

like to do with her I would really like to have some images to show her to give

her a better idea what I am looking for and also showing her how artistic and

classy they can turn out when done correctly. I wish I could find the website

where I seen the ones before which really caught my attention but I cannot seem

to locate them now and I was wondering if anyone has any links or knows of any

where I could find some very classy, artistic nude images of pregnant women to

show my client what I have in mind for her shoot. She also has another young

child I would like to incorporate in some of her images so I would also like to

find some of these images as well if anyone has any links to these.

Sorry for making this so long and I really appreciate any links or images you

may have which will help me show my client what I have in mind. This is also

her first nude work as well so I really want it to turn out just right so she is

very happy and will also be proud to use the images we get for her.

Thanks very much,

Bryant

Hey Forrest and Kenneth,

Thanks very much for the links! These will give me some good examples to show my client and also gave me some more ideas of some things I would like to do. If anyone else has others I would greatly appreciate them as well.

Thanks Again,
