mery 0 Posted March 13, 2007 In the Netherlands people always send cards around to realives and friends to announce their baby is born. They then tell info such as the birthdate, -weight en -time. Now there's a trend in using a photograph from their pregnant body (or sometimes from the newborn baby) add text to the photo and print it as a photo and send it as it is. How about you?

michaelhills 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Melanie, we don't do much of the sending pregnancy announcement cards here in Australia. We generally like to shout it from the rooftops ;) I like this capture. I really like the composition and crop. However, do you think the image might look cleaner if some of the bottom frame was cropped? Personally, I find the 'darkness' of the shadow and pubic area does not quite gel with the 'lightness' of the rest of the frame. Just my thoughts... M :) Link to comment
skersell33 0 Posted March 13, 2007 adorable original photo than can only be done when a woman has two babies... one right after the other. i love it! I do agree on trying a crop just below the toes where the underbelly gets darker. baby announcements are very popular here in the states and it is a big part of my photography business. see my samples attached, but having pregnancy pictures on the announcement has not become popular here yet as I find women to be too self concious, but I'm sure it will become more of a trend as prego pics have become over the years. :-) Link to comment
bridgette eshghi 0 Posted March 13, 2007 What a precious and sweet capture. You have done a lovely job here. I agree with the crop idea also. This is still such a beautiful B&W. Keep up the good work. Link to comment
mery 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Hi there, thanx for all the comments, so quickly also! I uploaded a baby-birth-card as well, and yes, it's true that this kind of photography is done pretty often, but not so common for a announcementcard, although here in NL it's more and more done. BTW the line at the bottom had an extra line on the original, which said the address of the family, but I erased this info so I can publish the card. (Ike's card) Link to comment
