Smoky Calgary Summer Maternity Session

Calgary Maternity Photography

I’ve been lucky to photograph mothers to be in Calgary for almost a decade. Maternity sessions have always been my absolute favourite. I love being able to document the way women’s bodies change and those last days of anticipation before baby arrives. Women are so strong but also a little bit vulnerable as their body changes and gets ready to welcome their baby, it brings me so much joy to deliver photos that show them how I see them, beautiful and powerful.

The Perfect Evening

We were debating if we should reschedule Melinda’s summer maternity session because it was a very smoky day in Calgary. After a lot of back and forth we decided to just go for it. Thankfully we did because their sweet baby arrived early, not long after our shoot. It’s sad of course, because climate change, but I kind of love the way the smoke comes out in photos. It was such a gorgeous summer night in the trees and Melinda absolutely nailed her outfit choice. I love the photos that we were able to capture of this beautiful time in her life and the location we chose complimented our vision for the shoot perfectly. The greens accentuated Melina’s gorgeous dress and olive skin and the creek that we found really added to the romance of the setting.

Why Book a Maternity Session?

Pregnancy is such a different time for each woman that experiences it and truthfully, its’ not always sunshine and rainbows. But, given that it’s something you’ll like only do a few times in your life I believe it deserves to be documented. How wild and amazing what women’s bodies can do. Whether you’re feeling amazing or not, I will make you feel beautiful in front of my lens. I promise that one day you’ll be so glad you have the photos to remind you of such a fleeting time and to show your baby when they’re older.
