Tealyn came to me with her first babe back in 2018 when we did her first maternity session at the gorgeous Saskatoon Farm just south of Calgary. I try to plan Spring garden greenhouse maternity specials each year if it works out and these were the first ones that I had done! It was hot, beautiful and so much fun! I had hired a makeup artist to work with that day and do these ladies’ makeup and make them feel like queens! It was such a perfect day.
Right off the bat we did a set of photos with their sweet toddler because as we all know, they don’t like to hang out for long! She was shy at first but warmed right up!
Two years later we chose to do Tealyn’s session in the mountains and I had a very specific vision for it. Tealyn got her hair & makeup done by the incredible Sarah with S.Kay Makeup Artistry. As if her first session wasn’t perfect enough we created some absolute magic that day as well. We did two locations close together because if you’re driving an hour out, I want to make sure that you are having an incredible experience AND a good variety in your maternity session.
Next we focused on Mama and made her feel like a Q U E E N . The contrast of her gorgeous red hair against a white gown and the gorgeous mountain backdrop was exactly what I had envisioned when I was thinking up her session. Tealyn gave both the makeup artist and myself full creative reign which is always so much fun!
Next we went just up the road for a little bit of a change in scenery. When choosing locations for maternity sessions I make sure of two things : It’s easy terrain for a pregnant person and not far from where we park so that if a client needs to take a break, warm up, cool down, sit for a few minutes, EAT A SNACK, we are not far from all of those things; AND TWO there is another view or element close by to be able to give a good set of variety in the client’s gallery. This is definitely one of those spots.
