Maternity shots
I've done my general Google search and forum search, but can't come up with anything decent. Does anyone have any instructions/suggestions for maternity photos at home. I tried some shots with directional lighting, but other than that I'm lost.

If by "maternity" you mean pregnancy,
and not afterward, I have several rules
to avoid unpardonable cliché:
1. No touching the belly.
2. No gazes down at the belly.
3. No gazes off into the future.
4. No soft focus.
I just shot my wife through her pregnancy
and you can find the gallery here:

I'll take a look once I leave work. I can manage most websites here, but it seems to hate flickr.com/signup
I just looked at your gallery for some reference. Thanks for the info.

Although this breaks a number of Sander's rules, I've always liked the following picture Nicole made...

I'm not sure the approach needs to be any different than any other portrait. (I just realized the link goes to a page of thumbnails, the one I'm referring to is in the third row down. all the way to the right.)

I like that one as well. It may not need to be any different than any other portrait, but I have a ways to go before I can consider my stuff with the general population. Plus it's about -10 outside so I need all the ideas I can get to shoot inside. I guess you wouldn't notice the blue lips in b&w.

That about covers it, Sanders. Thanks for taking the pressure off my otherwise un-silenceable inner curmudgeon.
Yours are the first maternity images I didn't loathe. They were beautiful.

done a few...
slightly different than most; I think...

I generally agree---like any other portrait, you try either to avoid the cliches or to subvert them from within.
This won't work for everyone, but I can't resist tooting my own horn about the one photo from my wife's pregnancy that I really like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ntenny/...7605957020849/
I think there's a lot of potential in IR film for maternity shots and parent/baby portraits, but obviously it's something of a special effect to be used with care.

All the old timers have showed up to work now. I'll have to wait to look until I get home to see "those nasty pictures"
People crack me up.
