I noticed all of these places around my house that I wanted to take pictures of someone in front of. I immediately thought of Courtney, my roommate from when I first met and started dating Jaren in March of 2006. She is expecting her first, a little boy early this fall.
This was my first "real" photoshoot and I enjoyed every second of it. Her husband Jordan came and I am so glad because some of these smiles wouldn't have happened without him there. And we got some sweet shots with him in there, too.
I like so many of them I am having a hard time choosing what to put up. So here are a whole lot.
There you have it. What do you think?

They are all great...
That last one is AWESOME...
but I also really love the second one!
Wow, those are awesome! I am very impressed!! They look great!
Awesome Whitney! You have a natural talent. Aren't DSLR's fun? I can't wait until I can get one! Keep up the good work :)
I am so in love with these photos Whitney! To everyone else.. if you are considering having some photos taken, whether it be maternity, infant photos, engagement photos, bridals.. you would be very wise to have Whitney photograph for you! She'll put you right at ease, and make you feel beautiful! She has a really good eye for interesting backgrounds, and amazing composition!!
great photos! I think waiting and learning certainly paid off :) I would take the last photo and have it done on canvas - I love it!
These pictures make me SOOO excited for when you take Payton's. Oh I can't wait. You are awesome!!
That last one just takes my breath away!
Nice job on your pictures! I found your blog by doing a search online for Teton Dam Marathon Pictures and your blog came up so I checked it out…good job on the run! I actually just ran my first marathon last fall when my baby was 10 months and my second marathon was the Teton Dam run. I love photography and if you're interested, I have a photography blog: lacyjohnsonphotography.blogspot.com feel free to check it out (I'm like you, I have no formal training!)
Love that last one, the waves of sand look beautiful behind her. Very middle eastern-ish.
Are you interested in tips? I'm going to offer them until you tell me to back off. :)
Study up on composition a bit more, and learn when and where you should be cutting people off. The second to last shot is really nice, but it's a little tight. I imagine you were trying to keep the background uncluttered, but I think it would have been better to expose a bit more of the world around her instead of cutting off her hands and feet.
Some REALLy good advice I can give? Learn to be super selective and critical of your own work, and weed out photos you aren't in love with. Less is so so so much more, and I really regret choosing so many photos sometimes in an effort to have more to show the client.
