Capturing the Journey from Bump to Baby: Cherishing Growing Families
Maternity & Newborn Photography in Airdrie & Calgary, Alberta
Hello, my dear readers!
Today, I'm excited to share with you a beautiful gallery from one of my recent Bump To Baby Plan clients. This is my most popular session combo, and it's the perfect way to capture the incredible journey from pregnancy to parenthood!
It feels like just yesterday when I had the honour of capturing their maternity portraits for their first little guy. They were brimming with excitement! I couldn't wait to have them in my studio again for baby number two.
Fast forward to the present, this beautiful family, now with an adorable addition, trusted me yet again with capturing their maternity and newborn portraits. This time, baby Morgan took centre stage, stealing hearts with his grumpy expressions and delicious rolls!
I couldn't help but notice the strong resemblance to his older brother. It gave me a bit of deja vu. He was a smidge heavier and a little rollier than his brother, but the faces looked oh-so-familiar.
These fleeting moments are a beautiful reminder of how much life can change in just a couple of short years. A Bump to Baby Plan is a perfect way to capture all of the excitement as your family grows.
As I jot down my thoughts, I can't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for being trusted over again to capture these beautiful memories for these wonderful families, and to be given the privilege of watching these families grow.
Behind the scenes of bring a professional family, maternity and newborn photographer lies a world of dedication and little details that might not always be apparent at first glance. One thing that people might not know is the extent to which I prioritize the safety and comfort of my clients during their sessions with me.
Making sure that my newborn clients are safe is always priority number one. That adorable pose where a baby is nestled into a prop or posed in a creative way? It's typically achieved with careful editing or angles that 'trick' the eye to look a certain way. Understanding infant anatomy and behaviour while also having the know-how on lighting and posing to create visually appealing images is something that I have worked very hard to master.
A massive effort goes into preparing for each session, as well. The seemingly effortless setups you see I usually spend hours preparing for, and considering backup plans in case plans don't go as we thought they would. From selecting props and backgrounds before the session, to adjusting lights and posing during the session, every element is carefully considered to creative your beautiful, professional images.
In the case of maternity photography, making expectant mothers feel beautiful and confident during their sessions is important! Understanding how to pose these mamas-to-be in flattering ways that accentuate those wonderful curving and capture that pregnancy glow is the key element to any maternity session.
Ultimately, the journey of being a maternity and newborn photographer extends far beyond the click of the camera. It's a delicate balance of artistic skill, creativity, safety measures, patience, and a deep passion for preserving the unique journey into parenthood.
