Pregnant Women Are Feeling The Glow (NAPSA)—According to a recent survey, one-third of women who’ve been pregnant in the last five years felt they never looked better than while pregnant. Unfortunately, nearly half of the women surveyed regret not having more pictures chronicling their pregnancy. In fact, the majority of women only have 10 or fewer photos of themselves while pregnant. Nikon Coolpix and Liz Lange Maternity want womento step out from behind the camera, and get in front of it. With the use of digital photography, preserving precious moments of both mother and baby will be easier than ever. Here are a few tips to help women get used to the “starring role” and to chronicle this very special time: Track your belly—Once a week, take a profile shot of you and your belly, to chronicle the progression of your pregnancy. Makesureto fill the frame the same wayeach time. Get the light right—Make sure your flash is activated when you need light, so your pictures come out great. An “innie” no more?—Don’t be afraid of an outie. Snap a picture for posterity. Involve the toddler—Make sure you get a shot of your young children kissing your belly—and their new sibling-to-be. Say no to below—Agreat shot is all in the angle. Make sure the photographer is taking your picture straight-on or from an angle slightly above you to get the mostflattering shots. * Up close and personal—Use your zoom lensandfill in the frame. Bare it—You’re pregnant. You’re still sexy. Have alluring photos taken of you—think Demi Moore—and you'll never forget your beautiful glow. \k Let there be light—Use natural light to cast a great glow.
