Kimberly,

I totally agree with Tim on the outside pictures concerning temperature. I also think that the background is way too busy.

The interior photograph I like: a) the dark shadow on her hair that is hanging down provides a nice contrast to her face b) abstract colors in the background c) like the drapery, it works well with the background.

I don't like, as Tim stated, the belly showing. Could you take another photo (same lighting, pose) but have her belly covered with the drapery and have her hands positioned resting on her belly? This would certainly remove any doubt that she is an expectant mother.
