A few weeks ago, I shot their maternity session and I really loved it.  I loved creating these personal images for them to remember this special time in their lives by.  It was a big step for me to shoot because before this session, I didn’t really know how I wanted to approach the idea of maternity photos.  In the weeks leading up to the session, Trione and I discussed what was important to her and it very quickly became clear on the direction I needed to take with this shoot.  The answer: make it personal and not trendy.

We were originally going to have their session at Hayward Lake, which is a spot they like to go with their dogs. However, the days-upon-days of rain made this almost impossible, so I decided that using their home was a perfect spot. It’s familiar and personal, warm and inviting, and it’s a great start to the memories that will be made in years to come.  We started the session off slow, took our time and even had a snack break!

Their dogs, Rolen and Bella, love them to pieces!  They followed them around everywhere and made themselves at home anywhere they could!

I also brought along my Rolleicord that day.  I was nervous using it because I had only ever used it once – and it was close to 20 years ago!  I took my time with it, I was patient and trusted my abilities as a photographer.  The waiting time to get the negatives back was excruciating!  I had even forgotten what shots I took!  It was definitely worth the wait, because after seeing the results from it, I will be using it a lot more   The evening that I went to deliver Trione & Pat their images, I said to Nick, “If these were the only images I took that day, I would be totally and 100% satisfied with them.”

We can’t wait to meet our new nephew and luckily we won’t have to wait much longer!

Jack’s not shy, he’s just a typical two-and-a-half-year-old!

Such a glowing mama-to-be (again)!

Jack is Mr. Personality

A big thank you to Lori, Steve & Jacksen for giving me the honours!  It was really awesome and Nick and I can’t wait to meet your little girl when she arrives into this world!
