I don't ever remember being that young!

Seems like I'm a sucker for the emergency portrait these days. The baby is due, right, and the woman wants a picture before its born. Yeah, just drop around to Toms place. He'll do it for nothing. Good thing I leave the backdrop ready. It was fun though. Got a call 2 hours later. She was in hospital looking to have it induced. Some issues with its growth. 34 weeks is OK, isn't it, doc?
I'll keep you posted.

That is not a happy or comfortable looking expectant mother and him claiming innocence in the whole affair....I don't know Tom, I think you've been hoodwinked.

I do think I might have placed the couple in the same pose, but them much further to the left and let her belly "fill" the void.

He's saying, "Tom, I promise, I never touched her!"

You're treading on a mine field, editing one of my pictures, Chris. The last time anyone did that Christine had to lock me in the padded room for a week and the perpetrator has been shifted to a safe house in Siberia. It's almost as bad as editing the bible to include some jokes and sending a copy to John Wolf.
I've upped the dosage of citalopram for the day. That should bring me back to normal.

Here's another shot that will suit your void filling fetish.

I must take this opportunity, though, the teacher that I am, to make comment on placement. These two photos simply show how the emphasis can be shifted by moving the frame. The first photo was to be about the father to be. He was feeling a bit left out, as fathers do on such occasions so I wanted to get a few shots to give him some prominence. After all, it was fun at the time. The second shot needed some more emphasis on the mother to be. A simple shift in framing is all that is needed.
Thanks, Chris, for your suggestion. Now, can you rescue my bit of gray from your cutting room floor and stick it back on?
Cheers
Tom

Maybe justice was served on you, Tom for your disrespect! .............................This time it was just your picture that got re-circumcised! Could have been worse!

I knew I had to tread lightly, Tom...gingerly I floated on a shield of warm air as I prodded them into the correct position (;>} kowing at any moment the wrath of all Australia could come gehawing its way into my computer.

Just seemed like a good idea at the time. I do like the second pose the best. Nice lead-out room to the right, ya know. :)

Fortunately for me, the couple liked the first shot and the second. 2 sales in the one day. Now all I have to do is get paid, which is highly unlikely. They are moving into their new house today and that should take care of any money they have. BAby is still intack, still baking and still well. Mother is equally as well. Father is still recovering from my comments about having his testicles removed if he were my son.
