POTD Catchlights

This is my beautiful SIL. She is a few months pregnant and was gracious enough to sit for me for a few shots. She's only mid-way thru her pregnancy and so not quite ready for big beautiful belly shots. But she lives across the country from us, I had to seize the moment. Even then, isn't that little belly aborable? And so is her son who's 2 1/2. He'll be a great big brother.

I seem to be awful at getting good catchlights, but she does have some nice light in her eyes in this one. Does anyone have tips on getting better catchlights?

And here are some other pregnancy shots. I was trying to get a nice belly silhouette. Unfortunately in the last 2, my nephew was right up against the window and the sill runs right behind his head.

She IS beautiful! I really like the silhouette shot. I think that if you had turned her just a little more towards the light in the first shot her catchlights would have been better. But it's still a nice shot of her!

Lovin' that cute little belly. And, yes for catchlights just get the eyes aimed towards the light source.

Awww, her belly i so cute. I love how sweet that last picture is! Jess gave you some great tips! I just really studied eyes for awhile and paid close attention to all the times I got the best catchlights-windows make great catchlights.
