    Did you know the art of studying the human form has been around for centuries? Artists have always been intrigued with creating beautiful art out of the simplicity of the human form, the shapes, the lines, the way the light hits it. All forms of media have been used; oils, watercolour, sculptures etc…

    So it is no surprise that today we continue this study with photography. I am an artist. I love studying the light and creating images from little more that just the subject and some gorgeous light. Maternity photography is one of my favourite genres, and I absolutely love creating simple, classic, timeless images of the nude pregnant form…Gasp! Nude? Yes

    So many women these days are feeling so empowered by their pregnancies and growing their child within them. They are proud of their bodies and they want to capture and remember this fleeting time in their lives. Many women will only experience this once or twice in their lifetime.

    For me as an artist it is empowering to see the light and how it it’s their newly shaped form…any human form is beautiful and worthy of creating art from, but the pregnant form is extra special! The lines and shapes of the belly capture the light so beautifully.

    I was about to upload the 2017 Maternity retreat when I saw this...is this the entire retreat or just Shelly Ferguson's class?

    I'm not sure. I thought I saw it before, but I've tried searching and this was all I found. I have the 2017 maternity, 2017 newborn, 2017 family, and 2018 maternity and newborn retreats, and I'd love to share them if they haven't already been shared
