F5.6 1/125 fill flash This is a good friend who is soon to be a mother and I used photoshop to give me the High Key look that would express the glow that expectant mothers seem to have.

Wow! I absolutely love this shot. I wish that I would have had that "glow" when I was pregnant...LOL. #233664

Beautiful job LaRae, love the glow effect you added it really makes the lovely skin tones pop out on her face, she is a beautiful Mother-to-Be :) #1236597

This is a beautiful photo! I love that you highlighted her face and everything around her is white/whitened! This is very flattering for her! Great job! #1236681

Thank you for you comments. I photographed her for her wedding a little over a year ago and I have to admit, she is a natural beauty that doesn't seem to be able to look bad. #1237442

LaRae, What effects did you use in PS to give you this high key look? #1238698

Lori,
The intial photo was already a little bit lighter but then I used shadows and hightlights in Elements 3.0 and cropped the piture to get the high key effect. #1239040
