Mother

We were at the mall today and I bravely went up to two complete strangers, briefly explained my 365 project and asked if I could take a photo of their baby bump... and they both graciously acquiesced! After I had taken the first one, I was walking past a maternity store and glanced in and saw this young mom-to-be put her hand on her baby and it was so touching that I went in and asked her if I could take a photo of that. I didn't take as much time as I would have liked to get a better shot because I felt I was already imposing enough, so I did quite a bit of editing out of extraneous stuff in the shot. I am pretty pleased with the finished product... and I would like to think "mom" would be, too! :)
Great job on going out of your comfort zone! I'm such a chicken with "street photography"....
That's a BIG baby bump! Woo!

Thanks, Robyn... It was a bit of a stretch for me, but I think it was worth it and maybe it will be easier the next time... :)

@digitalrn Thanks so much, Rick... It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be... maybe because mommies-to-be are just so happy! :)

@grammyn Thanks! I thought of you and how you can talk to any stranger and decided to just go for it... and I'm glad I did it because i do like the shot! :)
