When I met Annik & Chris in January it was for the second of a planned three maternity shoots to show the progression of Annik’s long-awaited belly baby (see previously: 21 weeks).We hung out at their house, took some shots of the nursery, just relaxed and captured some images of the happiness, the distinct… dare I call it a glow, that Annik had. It was a mini-session, and as I said, we figured we had one more session to go.

These pictures were taken at 32 weeks. Alexis was born 12 days later.

So have you all gotten your flu shots? I did! And I think I’m glad, because I’m just coming off a week of some crazy wannabe-swine-flu… thing. I’m not saying it was or wasn’t swine flu, I’m just saying that I got the H1N1 and seasonal shots but all my symptoms matched up with swine flu and it was not. pretty. Um, anyway.

Point is, Annik has had to wait longer than usual to get the first sneak peek from her session. The wait is over!

I have more surprises coming soon, so stay tuned :)

Kelli is my Giving Is Awesome winner! Nominated by her mother, Kelli is herself a mom to be (and the bump you see here is the tiniest little 7 month belly you’ll ever see), and the whole family is excited to meet the new addition, Madison. (And me, too!) During our session (on a brutally cold and windy day!) Kelli’s mom and sister joined in the action, too. I really love these photos. Merry Christmas, Kelli!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a photographer in possession of a wide angle lens should not point it at their subject’s face. Distortion and blah blah blah.

Whatever, this is awesome!

Annik and I met up a few weeks ago for the first of three planned maternity shoots that will be tracking the progress of her little belly these coming months. It was a brisk day, but with fall colours in full effect, and Annik was up for anything. I love that.

Enjoy your pictures, Annik, and I will see you again soon!

He’s here! The much-anticipated little one. He burst onto the scene a bit early in fact, and if I recall correctly he is now, at a month old, a heavyweight champion of 7lbs and change. So wee! So charming! So adored!

What a weekend! (I think I need a recovery nap.) I ended up doing three sessions, and the happy result is that I have a lot of stuff to share here in the coming days. The first image is of Annik, and be prepared to see a lot of her over the next few months. We’ve put together a little maternity progression package that will chart her growth at 20, 30, and 40 weeks, so Annik is going to be a blog staple until March!

Rob, Annie & I met up on a perfectly sunny Halifax evening back in August. It was a beautiful day! And then 45 minutes into our photo session, the skies opened up and everything came screeching to a halt. Fortunately we got a shot or two before that happened, because Claire was born less than two weeks later! Annie & Rob, you probably already can’t remember the time before she was part of your lives. I hope these photos serve as happy reminders, and I can’t wait to meet the newest member of your family. xoxo.

Alright. I’m cracking my knuckles and getting down to business. You’ve seen her twice already, but this is the big one.

Sam and I met up for her maternity session on a sweltering (but sunny!) evening at the end of July for what has turned out to be one of my highest yielding portrait sessions ever. Typically a photographer will deliver 20-30 choice shots to a client after a session like this. I got… well let’s just say more than that. Thank you Sam for being such a willing model! I really love what we came up with, and I hope you do too. See you in October? ;)

We started things off at home in the nursery, which is absolutely adorable, and I had opportunity to learn about all the hot new baby toys. ;)

The Mr. wasn’t too enthused about getting his picture taken but I think this is pretty cute.

SHOES!!

As previously mentioned, I was in Halifax this past weekend and met up with my friends Rob & Annie. We only had about a half hour to work, but I got some nice shots off. Here’s a sneak peek, as little C may well be here by the time I get the rest finished. Congratulations you guys! Eieeeeexoxoxoxoxo.
