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.

Summer Mountain Maternity Portraits | Mountain Maternity Photographer, Banff Alberta | Lace & Locket Photo

Luba booked me in April for her mountain maternity session and she seemed so sweet that I felt like I could feel it through my phone screen when I read her messages, that was the first thing that stuck out me about her. She was so much fun to work with, and her husband Frank. It was BRUTALLY hot in Banff that weekend when we did her session and the mosquitoes were vicious but they made it so, so fun and we laughed the entire time. Luba knocked her whole session right out of the park and it is one of my favourite sessions from 2021.

Luba’s hair and makeup was done by S.Kay Makeup Artistry, you can check out her work here.
All gowns that Luba wore are in the Lace & Locket Photo Client Closet and are available to use in your booked session.
