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! 

Melyssa's Stunning Lake Session | Calgary Premier Maternity Photographer | Spray Lakes, Alberta | Lace & Locket Photography

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.
Her & her girls' floral crowns by Willow Flower Co. located in Canmore at 104 - 602 Bow Valley Trail

April Mountain Maternity Session | Lake Minnewanka | Mountain Maternity | Calgary Maternity & Newborn Photographer | Lace & Locket Photography

This was such a fun session! I have never met such a fun family! Ty messaged me only a couple weeks before her session was to take place and originally she wanted to just have a maternity session done in her home but soon changed her mind once she saw the mountain maternity sessions on my website. When we met in the mountains on this exceptional April day, it was love at first sight and magic was made! She was stunning in every dress I put her in and we laughed so much as she changed and the love between her and Jason was pure magic. I didnt have to tell them what to do or how to pose, they just set the stage with their emotions and it was amazing! 

At the end of the session Ty had such a great time she asked me to shoot her baby's newborn session when she arrived and we did it just last weekend. Like baby B was absolutely perfect. Watch for her session on the blog in a couple weeks !
 

Samantha's Winter Maternity Session | Calgary Maternity & Newborn Photographer | Mountain Maternity Session | Lace & Locket Photography

This session I had waited for since before Christmas. I was so excited and so pumped. I had planned out the locations ahead of time & figured out the poses I wanted to. This is why I always recommend booking your sessions with me as early as you can so that I have time to think about every aspect of creativity I can. 

The forecast called for -26 the day we were supposed to shoot but THANKFULLY it was warmer than that. NOT BY MUCH, but it was bearable, except for while we were on the lake, unprotected by a town or trees. But the images we caught were so stunningly gorgeous, it was well worth it! I ALWAYS bring an assistant with me to mountain maternity sessions to hold blankets, boots, jackets and anything else the client will need to stay warm, comfortable and dry, even cool if it's in the summer months! 

Sam got her hair & makeup done for this session by the lovely Artistry by Bobi. 
Her dress is from Pink Blush Maternity.
