louise+kyle: maternity shoot

This was actually  my first attempt doing a maternity shoot (except for the one I did for my wife). I didn’t know what to expect and was quite nervous about doing it. The overall session was a breeze and nothing different from when I shot Louise & Kyle’s wedding back in April.
