Maternity Portraits on the Beach [Rf Photo of the Day]
July 13, 2018
Iowa-based photographer Missie Lafrenz wanted to take advantage of the sunset during this maternity shoot, so as the sun made its way behind the trees on the other side of the lake, she asked her couple to simply lounge by the water.
“The hardest part about getting this image was managing the direct light and the direction it was coming in at,” Lafrenz says. “I chose this angle, which ended up lighting her belly beautifully.”
