I just love taking photos. The shoot involved two people I work with. I was thrilled that I got to shoot Doreen who happened to be pregnant because Susie volunteered me to it. I was thrilled! I don’t want to call it a maternity shoot. That will make it sound like I am a pro. I’m not.  I simply love capturing images. We only had an hour, before work officially starts. So we met at the garden right across our office. The light was great, though it could have been better had we started earlier.

After a while we moved inside our office. We went to a spot where morning sunlight is abundant. Here, I took a couple of shots with just ambient light illuminating Doreen.

Then we moved downstairs into a meeting room. Ambient light is a bit limited here so I brought in my off-camera flash.

I had fun shooting Doreen. Just a few weeks after this, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I’m just glad we were able to document this milestone in her life. I think I want to do it again.
