Portraits of Pregnancy

Sharon Schuster is a photographer based in New York. One of her specialties is shooting portraits, and many photos feature pregnant women. "Most of the women that come to me want a range of clothed pictures and nude," Schuster said. " It's a very unique time in someone's life. It captures a miraculous stage of life and a miraculous ability of the body to give birth." For more information on Schuster's work, go to http://www.sharonschuster.com/.

"At the Window:" The woman photographed here is named Khara. "I was in the middle of the shoot and there was some noise," Schuster said. "She leaned out the window. I just turned and saw her belly like that and thought it was great -- the silhouette of her body."
