Have you ever felt like you'd died and gone to heaven? That was how it felt late yesterday afternoon to work with this young woman who'd asked me to take portraits of her in her seventh month of pregnancy. Not only is Karoline beautiful but she is an athlete--we'd met at the gym--who feels so good in her skin that she could not have taken an awkward pose if she'd tried. Every move was utter perfection. I've already spent four hours editing a good number of the photos and the only ones that didn't work out were my fault not hers. But many DID turn out and I look forward to posting a gallery of the best of the best within the next couple of days. I'll be giving Karoline CDs with her copies, but she agreed to my posting them here too. Oh, how I LOVE taking photographs of people!

I don't usually say this, but to get the full effect of this photo, I suggest that you look at it in the original.
