Nope, I admit it's not my baby... (that I am aware of :p)

I was asked by a friend (not the mum of the baby) to take some "before and after" pics of the Mum to be (and Bub once born) as she wanted to have them printed up on canvas to give to the parents as a gift.

As I mentioned in the original thread - it's the first time I have ever done this sort of photography so I wasn't sure what to expect. Overall I am pretty happy with the results, but after being seletced for POTW, I am estatic :D

I am having another friend of mine give them a touch up in photoshop (I suck at anything serious in photoshop - I can do borders and resizing etc, but leave the rest to the experts) so should hopefully look heaps better once printed up..
