Today was my first ever maternity photoshoot.  I'm trying something a little more commercial.   I'm hoping it brings in a few commercial shoots.  This shoot was with Amber at Saguaro Ranch Park in Glendale, Arizona. It was a really cool location. At some point in the past it used to be a dairy farm so they still have a lot of old buildings there.  The first time I shot there was 11 or 12 years ago when I was a senior in high school.  I liked the location, but wanted to shoot people there instead of just buildings.  I shot there again two years ago.  It's a great spot, but they did remove this really cool water fountain.  It would have been perfect, we were really sweating out there today.  It would have been great to have a fountain to dip our feet into.  There's also a bunch of peacocks and roosters all over the place.  It was so hot the peacocks mostly stayed inside and the roosters were crowing the entire day.  It would have gotten annoying if it weren't for the fact that whenever a rooster crows it just sounds silly somehow.  Especially when they do it in the middle of the day.  There's a certain ambiance when they crow at sunrise, but after that, they just sound silly.

 Anyways, here are a few of the photos of my photoshoot with Amber. 

I tried really bold colors with this shot.

 

I tried to keep the photoshop work to a minimum on these.  I'll prob mostly keep these in standard color or convert to black and white.  Not sure if I'll use my cross processing. I think it's just because the colors there were so vivid.
