Maternity Sessions Before The Big Day

When people contact me about documenting their birth, I always suggest we get together! It's good to meet, get to know each other a little bit. We chat about your expectations and desires and chat about my process and the experiences I have had. Then we take a walk around the neighbourhood and snap a few photos.  I think it's nice to get a glimpse of yourself through my eyes and to do a little run through before fully committing to having the biggest day of your life documented. I want you to be sure of your decision, and I want you to feel at ease about me being there, and trust that I am capturing your day perfectly. More or less, I want to make sure we're a good fit. I am 100% there to document your day, but it's not uncommon for me to grab water, or hold a leg, or help put on slippers, or just cheer in the background because with birth, you gotta roll with it! Birth is beautiful and kinda unpredictable. If you have been following me on Facebook or Instagram you'll know that I am pretty passionate about birth. I believe that all women should be given more control and more information about their own birth and more support in their options. I wholeheartedly support all women in their birthing choices, so whatever happens, whatever you decide, I will support you.

These 5 sessions below are people I met with pretty recently. Three of these couples have had their baby already and 2 have not. Jesleen is due over the holiday season, and Sandra and Pawel will be parents any day now!! So send all those birthy vibes their way!

Hermione Granger & Ginny Weasley

This year I was so pumped that my kids wanted to go as Hogwarts students!! (We are about to start book 3 and they are obsessed.) It made me unbelievably excited for Halloween night! This was my 6th year documenting their Halloween adventure. It's my favourite day of the year to photograph. It's really magical! There's so much life and energy! Especially in my neighbourhood! It's so festive!! Mostly everyone gets involved and creates the most epic trick or treating adventure! The kids love it so much. And I really love playing with all the night light!! I love that I have to shoot on manual focus and I really love how unpredictable it all is. There's motion in the images and so many vibrant colours. The contrast is so extreme too making the images so dramatic!

Previous Halloween adventures can be seen HERE!

Vivi Rocks!

Autumn is finally here! The leaves are starting to change and it's warm n' cozy sweater weather! I have officially started the domino effect of fall sessions! With the photogenic scenery and the holidays approaching it's for sure my busiest time of year. I am almost fully booked until January, however I can take one more session in mid to late November if you want late autumn early winter photos. That being said...

This here is Vivi. She rocked her session. She has such a wonderful inviting personality. She wasn't shy. She allowed me to capture her as her real self creating such vibrant and animated images. That evening was just perfect too. It was the peak of Autumn and the light was tremendous. There were a lot of jaw drops as I would occasionally peek at the back of the camera between clicks.  Here's some of my favourites from this day!

PS: I have had several people ask when I was going to offer Autumn Mini Sessions. Well, this year they sold out within 48 hours because my subscribers scooped them up and they are the first people notified of specials. However, stay tuned on Facebook or Instagram in case a mini session spot opens up! And consider signing up for the newsletter (sent out 2 - 4 times a year) to take be the first to take advantage of both Spring and Autumn mini sessions.
