IVF Baby Boy | Airdrie Newborn Photographer | Lace & Locket Photo

This sweet, sweet little dude came in late November. I always have a Black Friday sale and mama snagged one of the deals when babe was already a month old. I wasn’t worried about his newborn portraits because sometimes “elder newborns” are the best newborns.

He was such a good little one the entire session, not a single peep from him and he was down for every pose. He even laid in my moon pillow and held a tiny teddy bear and he’s so cute. His Airdrie newborn portraits are likely one of my favourite sessions I’ve done this season! Mama even let me do a couple Christmas themed photos!

If you’d like to schedule a newborn portrait session at my studio in Airdrie, you can reach me by emailing me here.

Little Sisters' Newborn Portraits | Airdrie Newborn Photographer | Lace & Locket Photo

My, house newborn portrait sessions change when you’re not in the middle of a pandemic. When this sweet girl’s big sister came to the studio in 2021, things were a little different. That being said, I was so happy to have her parents back because they are just absolute gems of people.

When a big sibling comes for sibling portraits, it can be daunting. There is a window of time where they want to participate but are too young to actually HOLD baby, and then the window after that is that they want nothing to do with listening or sitting or cooperating in any capacity at all.

This sweet girl was all ready to be in photos with her baby sister and I was here for it. This has got to be the cutest sibling photo I have ever photographed in my studio. Usually I have to photoshop this one.

Airdrie Sunflower Sessions | Lace & Locket Photo | Airdrie, AB

These sessions were so fun! They take place at Peony & Pine Photography Landscapes in south Airdrie. They bloom around late August-September depending on the year. These were done in early to mid September. I did a maternity, some families and a couple when we did this in September 2021.

Because we can’t anticipate when or how long these flowers last, I have created a pre-book list for clients who would like to book a spot when they come available. They will be offered to who is on this list first, and then to the general public You can add your name to the Sunflower Sessions waitlist here.

Do you have questions about these sessions? Send me an email below, and I’d be happy to chat!

Handsome Baby J | Airdrie Area Newborn Photographer | Airdrie, Alberta

This gorgeous lady came to me for her Mountain Maternity Images, and she has been SO lovely about letting me make videos so she’s like my unofficial Spokeswoman for Lace & Locket Photo. Her session took place on a December day when it wasn’t even cold, and there was barely any snow. I know, that’s unbelievable for being Alberta.

You can check out the video I made of C’s maternity session last winter here. It’s super catchy and C is such a stunner, so beware haha!

Naturally I had to make a little video for this Mister’s newborn session, and make Mama tear up when I did it too. You can check that out here.

It's always Sunny in Calgary | Lace & Locket Photo - Calgary Maternity Photographer | Pearce Estate Park, YYC

When Miss J booked her maternity session for the end of June, we were battling rain. Yes it’s true, the weather here in Alberta is unpredictable & can be downright nasty, sunny, beautiful, terrifying and everything else, all in one day. I know, it’s so hard to believe. Anyways.

Back in 2016 it was the same. During July, it rained I think 21 out of the 31 days of the entire month and those other 10 days were hardly filled with warmth and sun. I remember distinctly because back then I was shooting weddings and I had about 3 including a week long Indian wedding and the weather was not nice to any of us. One day, we got rained out during the wedding formals and we headed to the SAIT parking lot where we found about 20 other wedding photographers and their bridal parties, all trying to find refuge from the downpour.

I’ve gotten pretty good at deciphering The Weather Network and it’s reports on what the forecast is supposed to look like. I’ve found that there’s never a 50% chance of rain, it’s either 40% or less, or 60% and higher. 40% and less, generally it might do anything from sprinkle to downpour for 5 minutes and then it ends. 60% -80% Im still pretty skeptical. 90% chance of rain, I look to see how much because it could still be a liar and be so super nice, sometimes it rains the entire day. Sometimes.

On the afternoon leading up to J’s session it was super dark in Calgary, which is south of me ( Im located in Airdrie) and super dark to the north of me, and super bright and sunny north of that. She was nervous. I reassured her that we still had a few hours and I had a feeling it was about to dump and then the skies would open and leave a beauty sunset for us just in time for her session. She was skeptical, haha. We waited, it rained. But then it got sunny. And sunny enough that it dried by the time our session started, which was located at Pearce Estate Park, also home of the Bow Habitat Station - you can take your kids there to fish! (it backs onto the river, and the Deerfoot, take the 17th & Blackfoot Exist west, first right and you’re there).

The Tree of Life Maternity Session | Calgary Maternity Photographer | South Glenmore Park | Lace & Locket Photography

Brianna's session was done in late October at South Glenmore Park. I had no idea this park existed and I sure didn't know there was access to water and I loved the different options for this session. I arrived early to scout the location and found this stunning tree where it branched out right from the base and it just spoke to me so I knew that I wanted this stunning mama to pose in it. The shots turned out perfect and I later found out that the "Tree of Life" was her family crest and it just seemed meant to be! 

I can't wait for their little miss to come into the world so that I can cuddle her and put her in the cutest little custom outfit I had made by Kartay Photography Props just for her newborn session! 

Morgan's Breezy Mountain Maternity Session | Calgary Maternity Photographer | Lace & Locket Photography

Morgan & Matt have got to be the most beautiful, funny, hilarious couple I've ever worked with. Actually all my clients are all of those things and that's why they're my clients. IT'S AMAZING. But we're talking about these fabulous folks. 

This session was scheduled back when it was +30 outside and we planned for smack in the middle of October with the hopes it would surely still be decent outside. Last year it was! Last year at this time it was +20! Well....this year it was windy. So very windy and chilly. The wind bit. Which was perfect for dress flow but not so much for anything else like us, freezing in an open area unsheltered by trees.

Every time this happens, I always feel awful for my clients out there in these dresses, but they always say the same thing when they get their sneak peeks and their galleries - it was so worth it! And that fills my heart and keeps me going! 

Morgan's makeup was done by the lovely Preet of Studio 150 makeup Artistry who has her own studio (but also travels!) located in Airdrie! All dresses in this gallery are owned by me & available free of charge to be used in your own booked maternity session!
