KATELYN – Maternity

By

I think it’s about time I posted Katelyn’s maternity session as we’ve got some serious reason to celebrate! Katelyn and her hubby, Sean, have officially had their third little princess join their family!! They welcomed a teeny, tiny baby girl on Sept 30, and she weighed in at 4 pounds 14 ounces. Congrats you two!!

I had the privilege of photographing Katelyn for her maternity session back in August (oops… just a wee bit behind on this! 🙂 ) and she was just as beautiful as can be. It was a surprisingly chilly day, especially for the end of summer, but Katelyn looked beautiful and her dress was super cute! I love how it hugged to her tiny baby belly.

Boho Chic – MADDY

By

I had the most amazing session with this beautiful girl. Maddy and I worked together on what we wanted for her session, and we both agreed that a boho chic feel would be awesome. I love the details of the lace shirt she wore, simply lovely!

It was the perfect summer night for Maddy’s session. We headed out to Glenbow Ranch near Cochrane and the lighting and location could not have been any better! I have to say how much I absolutely love photographing teenagers! Most are very comfortable in front of a camera and actually enjoy their photo being taken with this beauty being no exception! Thanks for the fabulous night and a huge thanks to my wonderful friend, Caitlin, for doing Maddy’s hair and being the perfect assistant!! If you’re looking to book a summer or fall session shoot me an email – spots are filling up!

8 Year Old Baptism Portrait Session

By

Spring in Calgary came early and I couldn’t be happier!! It was the perfect time for Georgia’s baptism portrait session as she is about to turn 8, so we went down to Edworthy Park while the blossoms were out. We couldn’t have picked a better day either as the snow hit a few days later! I am so excited for Georgia and her decision to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Congrats Georgia!!

Doesn’t she look darling in her baptism dress?! Georgia is a kind and sweet girl, and full of spunk. Quick story… Georgia and my son, Will, have been buddies since they were itty bitty and they play like brother and sister. We’ve always taught Will to treat girls with kindness and respect. Well, a few years ago while Will and Georgia are playing I get a text from Georgia’s mom with a video of the two of them. What it looks like to me is a video of Will attacking Georgia! I was mortified and responded quickly with apologies and “there will be consequences” and “I’ll be having a talk with him” to which she replied “don’t worry. Georgia round house kicked him!! She’s totally holding her own and loving it!” haha. Thankfully the wrestling matches between the two have come to an end, but I hope they stay buddies forever!

Here are a few from Georgia’s baptism portrait session.  Enjoy!

Mother’s Day was just around the corner from our session date so we thought it would be nice to add mom to the photos. Everyone should have photos with their mom! Such beautiful ladies. Can you believe this mama has FOUR girls! LDS baptism portrait session, Edworthy Park, Spring mini session, 8 year old girl in white dress, mom and daughter LDS baptism portrait session, Edworthy Park, Spring mini session, 8 year old girl in white dress, mom and daughter Georgia_baptism-0237_WEB Georgia_baptism-0244_WEB LDS baptism portrait session, Edworthy Park, Spring mini session, 8 year old girl in white dress, mom and daughter

Winter Maternity

By

I had the most wonderful winter maternity session with this lovely lady. Maren and her hubby are officially expecting a little lady to join their family of 6! Yup, this is baby number 5! Doesn’t she look amazing! This little bundle of cuteness is set to arrive in February and mom and dad cannot wait for her arrival. So far, Maren has had a somewhat tough pregnancy, but things are looking up in the last trimester and she is counting down the days until little miss is welcomed to the world.

I’m so glad Maren decided to brave the snow!  We met in Red Deer at the Kerry Wood Nature Center and it was the perfect winter wonderland for her winter maternity photo session.

JOANNA | Maternity Photos

By

Check out this beautiful mom’s maternity photos!! Joanna and her hubby are expecting baby number 6. That’s right, SIX! Can you believe it?? Even though she expressed she was somewhat (read extremely) concerned about having maternity photos done,  she honestly looked gorgeous!! I photographed the birth of her last baby and she joked she was more comfortable with those than with maternity photos. I hope I helped ease her nervousness, as any photographer would be lucky to photograph her. And that baby bump couldn’t get any cuter!!

I’m lucky to have awesome photographer friends who are willing to let me borrow their outfits and props. Laura Taylor has an amazing stash of stunning maternity gowns and let us borrow a few for the shoot. I love the white lace maternity gown Joanna chose from the few that I gathered. Thank you Laura!! The dress worked PERFECT!

Oh, and if you’re wondering if Joanna’s having a boy or girl, you’ll have to wait a few more weeks – with mom and dad – to find out what the sex is! Until then, take a look at this beautiful mom of soon to be 6!
