I know that I have been terribly behind with my blogging and so it is time to start catching up! 

One of the fun projects that I was working on in 2010 was a pregnancy progression shoot with Jennifer.  This was shot from 12 weeks until baby arrived!

When we first talked about the idea I thought that it would just be neat to document how a woman’s body changes during pregnancy.   For me, this shoot turned out to be a lot more.  I had the opportunity of getting together with Jennifer every few weeks during her pregnancy, which I looked forward to.  It was interesting to talk about how she was feeling  or what was taking place during the various stages.  I also loved seeing her “glow” get brighter and her beauty magnified as this miracle was taking place. 

As I was putting the finished piece together this week I thought back to this adventure and journey.  To me, this image is captivating and absolutely beautiful.  It speaks of motherhood and the joy and beauty that is. I absolutely love it and hope that it inspires you to take time to see the beauty that is around you. 

Jenn, thank you for being willing to do this and for sharing along the way.  You are inspiring and beautiful.

You know that “look” that two people have when they are in love?  It is often abundantly evident on a wedding day – and hopefully in the years following.  The words that the couple speaks without uttering a single word.  The looks that are exchanged or simply the way they look at each other……the tenderness of a touch and just how they interact with each other.

That was my favorite part of spending time with Allysa & Dorman!  Their love and respect for each other is so evident and they seem like they are each others best friends – which I believe they are.  To top that off, you add a baby into the mix and the excitement that accompanies that and it was beautiful. Truly.

I know without a shadow of a doubt that this baby is going to be loved like crazy!

Just a few of my favorites – and I asbolutely love the shots in the tall grass – my new favorite pregnancy images!

Congratulations you two!

Isn’t she beautiful?  I think that she has the most amazing cheekbones…not to mention gorgeous blue eyes! 

I had the opportunity to photograph this fantastic family of 3 before it becomes a family of 4!  There is a whole series of shots taken in the tall grass which are my absolute favorite and I could have posted them all…however I refrained.  One thing that I need to mention about this shoot – and the tall grass pictures in particular is that there were bugs…and LOTS of them! Angela did an exceptional job posing in what we determined to be the home of the bugs and looking fantastic!  I am sure that there is modelling experience in her background somewhere : ) 

One of the things that was discussed when we met before the shoot was this tire of Kody’s and how it would be great to get some pictures of Jane with/in it during the shoot.  They had the awesome idea of doing baby pictures with Jane inside this tire shortly after she was born.  Talk about a sweet newborn shoot concept!  I love it!  Kody did an amazing job rigging up a support for this tire out of twigs, etc. so that we could use it for the shoot.  Including personal elements such as this makes my job even more fun and also makes the pictures more meaningful.

What an exciting time it is for this family!

What an incredible woman this is!  She is the mother of Colby and Tyler and baby #3 is coming in just a few weeks.  Wow!  She definitely has her hands full with these two little boys, however does it with grace and joy. I think that she deserves a medal…..or at the very least a peaceful day at the spa : )

After photographing Tyler’s school pictures, Maxine asked if I would do this shoot for them. Absolutely!  We had fun playing with paint, bubbles and swatting away our share (and more) of mosquitoes and black flies.  I have a special memory from this session as I also ended up with quite the interesting tan lines! 

This is an absolutely wonderful family and I know that this baby is going to be loved like crazy!

Here are just a few of my favorites….

Now….is it a boy….or a girl?  ; )

Getting together with this great couple was a wonderful way to spend Family Day! 

I loved watching them interact with each other and witnessing the love that they share.  It is so special – and their excitement about this baby is evident. They seem to be all set and are even managing a trip to Vancouver before this baby is born!

Laura is absolutely beautiful and seriously has the most perfect baby belly : )

I can’t wait to photograph this little one in a few weeks!
