Ready to Pop

While being inspired in Palm Springs, I sketched out a few photo shoots I wanted to complete this summer. One of them was a character portrait of a very pregnant friend. The idea was to illustrate the old saying “ready to pop” and I had a few different ideas on how I wanted to do this. Once the friend was on board to participate, I chose an all red set and the concept of using popcorn to illustrate the idea. While prepping the shoot, I noticed a friend’s pregnant wife on his instagram and thought, why not use the other idea i sketched out, bubbles! Never thought I’d have two maternity shoots in my portfolio, but I love them both. Hair and Make up by: Kristina Grohs
