incredibly beautiful shot – magnificent in her pregnancy – you have done a superb job in capturing all the beauty and power of woman and baby.

definitely one of, if not the most beautiful pregnancy shots i’ve ever seen

Thank you all so much… I’ve been completely bowled over by all the great comments on this series.. :-)

stunning

Love it! Beautiful!

Another wonderful image Paul – well done!

Life IS beautiful & so is this image. Well done

Brilliant shot. True portraiture.

sure is a fantastic photo…

This is the one. What a beautiful gift Paul. Stunning timeless image

Wow! What a beautiful photo. I would have loved one like that when I was carrying my children! Superb!

Perfect

Stunning work Paul – this one blows me away!

It’s perfect. And her expression! This is gorgeous, Paul.
You did this photoshoot justice!!

This is really great.. I Love it..

I love the composition, awesome, but the PS work is a bit heavy handed. It LOOKs llike you cut her out and pasted her image onto an out of focus sand dune. Her feet and the bottom of her dress are cut off – why?

Sooo close to being fantastic.

Beautifully created!

Love this.. how beautiful.. great colors, beautiful composition. I love how you have placed her out doors where miracles take place everyday .. just as with a child.

Such a great shot. You really are surpassing yourself Mr Tupman. When do you publish the first book?

She’s looking great ! Nice graphics and colors. Well done !

Incredible – such a beautuful piece, im blown away!

Absolutely fantastic images. Well done.

Gorgeous!:)

A well done image. Excellent comp and color. There is a wonderful sense of anticipation and care. A unique and wonderful way of photographing pregnancy.

absolutely gorgeous! so heartfelt.

The black dress make this for me. You could have put her in white and made it angelic but I think the black gives off a rather nurturing highness and majesty instead of a fantasy appeal. I love these shots of her. Absolute beauty!

This is the most stunning and genuine portrait I have ever seen! She breathes, contemplates, and embodies the full experience within without applying “lenses” of sweet marshmallow peep colors.
What an extraordinary mother she will undoubtedly be! What stellar photography.
