Beautiful Baby R | Airdrie Newborn Photographer | Airdrie, AB | Lace & Locket Photography

This is such a sweet family! This mama has got to have the most amazing, supportive, incredible parents who gifted her a maternity session + newborn session from me for her very first little baby who was coming in December. I was so honoured they chose me when I know there's so much amazing talent & options around for maternity and newborn photographers and yet they chose me so I wanted to provide an exceptional experience for them. 

Mama had her maternity session back in October and you can see that session here. She wore a red maternity gown from my collection and I wanted to tie the sessions together somehow - coordinate them - so I got one my favourite prop suppliers (check her Etsy page out here) to custom create a little romper + tieback set specifically for this baby before she was born. 

Sweet Baby R was the only baby in December that was born after her due date. She was also the ONLY baby that did not need to have her session reshot due to fuss or lack of cooperation. She was an absolute dream which I was so relieved about after a month of babies who didn't want to be wrapped, didn't want to sleep or settle or have me in their face with my big black camera. Her session was shot in her own home where I travelled to, in her bay window with stunningly natural, beautiful light. LOVED IT. 



Melyssa's Stunning Lake Session | Calgary Premier Maternity Photographer | Spray Lakes, Alberta | Lace & Locket Photography

I am IN LOVE. with this session. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. This mama was having her third, last babe & wanted to feel like  a goddess but when she showed up ready to shoot I knew she already was one. She totally rocked this session, she got into one gown and it's like it was made for her. She got all dolled up for this session -  hair & makeup and she added the final touches with flower crowns and dresses for the girls. 

This was exactly how I want these mountain sessions to go.I want you to, with my help, to pull all the stops and feel empowered and godly and amazing. You should be, you're creating life! 

We did this session on May Long weekend. I don't know why it didn't dawn on me that it would be so crazy busy in the mountains and I went to 3 different places to scope out for our shoot and every single one you couldn't' even park let alone find a place to shoot that wasn't covered with folks. Lucky for me these clients used to live in the Canmore area and they knew all the good spots. This location had maybe 7 other people and none of them were really even near us, and so we proceeded to make this magic.
