calgary premier maternity photographer
This was SUCH a fun session! We shot just before sunset at Fish Creek Park in Calgary and it was a gorgeous night. J brought a dress of her own to start and it was mustard coloured and gorgeous! The pink, sequin and black gowns are in the Lace & Locket Client Closet which you can visit here.
I can’t wait to Photograph this stunning couple’s adorable babe in September, it’s sure to be as fun and gorgeous as these folks were at their maternity session!
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 & 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!
I met this lovely little 3-pack of awesome at the Mommylicious show in Airdrie back in March. As I talked to mama she told me about how she had a less than spectacular experience with her first babe but was very interested in my work. I immediately started thinking of ways I could make her experience with me a special one, before she had even booked! I was delighted when a few weeks later she wanted to book both a mountain maternity and a newborn session as well as some additional sessions later on after babe #2 was born.
She was barely pregnant when we met so we had a long time to wait which I usually enjoy as it gives me a good amount of time to come up with a unique vision and style of imagery I think would look stunning for her.
These images were the fruits of my creative imagination and I was so pleased to have a client who was willing to do things like get in the water and on the dock for some outstanding images. It was incredible.

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.
Melyssa's makeup was done by Makeup Mel, located in Canmore.
