How to shadow/black out photos?

I don't even know the correct terminology for what I am wanting to do. My best friend is wanting me to take some maternity photos of her tomorrow and this is an idea I am going with… (see links).
I don't know how to get this effect for the pictures, where everything else is blacked out, and her belly and body are shadowed.

I am shooting with a Nikon D5100. Thanks!
