List Of 33 Must Take Photos During Your Pregnancy

With this pregnancy being the last pregnancy I plan on having, I wanted to cherish each and every moment. I am lucky enough to have connections with many wonderful photographers and took the opportunity to make a business deal with a close photographer friend of mine. I gave him a great deal on a hand painted outdoor mural and he returned the favor by spending one day a week helping me document my baby bump. I spent time on Pinterest making an inspiration board. I didn't get in every single idea I thought of but here are my favorites from week 19-36. Our daughter and final piece to our family was born right on the 37 week mark! So here is my list of must take pics during your pregnancy.

I Beg To Differ...Color Contrast 101

COLOR CONTRAST

You always want it whether you are painting or photographing.

Why?

When done correctly, it makes the subject matter POP!

So your subject matter doesn’t fade indistinctly into the background, from a distance.

I have made this rookie mistake myself. Sometimes you can play it to your advantage and swing it as a unique look.

Lets Look At Some Examples:

See how the filter I added to this photo changed the wall color to a minty green and makes the picture so much more interesting and adds so much character...   it starts to tell a story..

In this painting of mine, in my early stages of being a professional artist, I made a bo boo…not enough contrast between my subject matter and my background. This is a small painting as well, so when viewing from a distance the bulb of the sun flower stands out beautifully but seems to be just floating because the stem and leaves are camouflaged into the background L

There you have it freebie artistic tip O’ the day.
