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.
The Tree of Life Maternity Session | Calgary Maternity Photographer | South Glenmore Park | Lace & Locket Photography
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!
