Summer Mountain Maternity Portraits | Kananaskis Country, Calgary Maternity Photographer | Lace & Locket Photo

This girl made her Kananaskis Mountain Maternity photo session one for the books, for real. She was like photographing a Disney princess and I was in my glory. We met at Barrier Lake in Kananskis Country as the sun was starting to set and this girl brought her A-game right off the hop.

We call this the Sunshine dress…..it’s one of my favourites for summer maternity sessions in and around Calgary and Banff.

She brought her tiara she wore on her wedding day to be extra Disney Princessy! What a great addition, if I could bring a whole selection of crowns to photoshoots, I would, because you’re a total princess if you’re growing and sustaining life. I loved this session so much. The above images were mostly taken at Wasootch Creek in Kananaskis.

Have I mentioned I know a beautiful, sandy little beach spot for the perfect beach vibes at your mountain maternity photo session? Oh yeah. Glorious Alberta Landscapes.

Golden Hour Mountain Maternity | Banff Maternity Photographer | Lace & Locket Photo

This gorgeous human being decided that on her way to come meet me in Banff for her Mountain Maternity session, it would be a good time to take a tumble down a stair or three……..Right after S.Kay Makeup Artist left, after dolling up this beauty, she tripped and smacked her face. She showed up with a sore ankle, and a swollen eye!! Obviously I was more concerned about if she was ok, and had she not even told me her eye was swollen I don’t think I would have even noticed!

She didn’t even care that she was bumped and a little bruised, she just wanted to do her photos, and she ABSOLUTELY NAILED THEM. LOOK AT THIS STUNNER. She brought this gown with her, and the colour was stunning. Between the sky and the water, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

From our starting place, where we shot the blue dress, we went up the mountain to a field and did an outfit change. When E picked this dress, she wasn’t sure it would go with her skin tone but asked me to bring it anyways so she could at least look at it.

I’d say it’s her colour. In fact, it’s SO her colour that we chose to use it for some of her sweet baby’s newborn portraits, that I’ll show in a later post. Can’t wait!

We then went to the top of the mountain for some extra sexy maternity portraits, won’t be including those in this post, haha!

Rainy Mountain Session | Banff Mountain Maternity Photographer | Lace & Locket Photo

This beautiful human booked me for her maternity session in early summer July. She actually travelled from Vancouver for a little baby moon with her hubby before baby was born and she wanted to book a mountain maternity session in Banff. It always rains in Vancouver, she wanted something different.

Naturally, it rained the day of her session. Poured.
Our session was supposed to start at 7 pm, and we met at our agreed upon spot in Cascade Ponds, Banff National Park. The mosquitoes and the rain seemed to be competing on which would be the heaviest thing in the air that night. I was panicky. These people came all the way from Vancouver for me and these mountains and it was just GREY and wet.

The weather network told me that it would stop raining at 8 pm, so I asked them if they wanted to go get a coffee or a tea in Banff and we could re-convene at 8 pm and see what it would be like then. It worked! The sun came out! It was actually a stunning night after that, except for the company we kept with the mosquitoes…

This beautiful mama wore gowns available in my client closet and her hair and makeup were provided by S. Kay Makeup Artistry.
