Magical Milky Way Mountain Maternity | Lace & Locket Photo | Banff, Alberta

Ok, listen.
This session was literal magic. I don’t know what else to say.
Brianne had her makeup done by none other than S.Kay Makeup Artistry and she looked STUNNING.

It was a moderately cold day, of course and the snow just didn’t know what it wanted to. Homegirl came out to Banff and she brought the HEAT with her.

She picked stunning dresses from my Client Closet, and we kept her warm with Hubby standing just out of frame with a nice warm coat and a blanket. She wore maternity leggings underneath with a black spaghetti strap tank top.

The most magical part was at the end, when I wanted to add a touch of magic, milky way magic. The moon was shining so bright and clear that night but, of course, the moon is so small through the lens of my camera. I wanted to have the moon in her photos, even a couple, but it just wouldn’t work with a true moon. So I used an artificial one, a vector. It didn’t do the trick. I didn’t like it….till I found an overlay that was the Milky Way.

MAGICAL.
It was so stunning. I made a reel about this photo on my Lace & Locket Photo Instagram and you can watch that here.

All the gowns in this beautiful individual’s Banff Mountain Maternity Photo Session are available for booked clients in the Lace & Locket Photo Client Closet.

Hair and Makeup is provided by S.Kay Makeup Artistry for Mountain Maternity Portrait Sessions, and can be added on to Local YYC Maternity Sessions.

Gorgeous February Maternity | Lace & Locket Photo | Mountain Maternity | Banff, Alberta

This Banff Mountain Maternity Session took place in the DEAD of winter, February. Every February in Calgary, Alberta, the weather is brutally frigid, temps are generally 30 below for almost the entire month and of course this mama’s session date was no exception. When she booked in December, we didn’t know the temperatures and of course the weekend before her session it was gross.

We had to plough ahead though as mama is a nurse and her schedule wasn’t able to flex so I went to work telling the weather it needed to chill out with it’s chills. It listened. I‘m not saying I’m magic but…..this sounds like magic to me :)

This mama booked me all the way from EDMONTON, Alberta. I am always so honoured to have clients who choose to travel to come have me take their mountain maternity portraits, it makes my heart explode. She came down in time to have my makeup artist pamper her right up with hair & makeup. Sarah, of S.Kay Makeup Artistry, did an incredible job. Mama had such stunning eyes and Sarah truly made them POP.
