Late Summer Sunset Maternity Photoshoot at Fish Creek Park • Calgary & Airdrie's Premier Maternity & Newborn Photographer
From April through October, Hocus Focus Photography travels in and around the Calgary area to capture Family and Maternity Sessions outdoors. Amanda's studio in Airdrie, Alberta is fully stocked and specialized towards Studio Maternity & Newborn Photography.
I'm thrilled to be deep into my outdoor season, spending more time outside with wonderful families to capture their cherished moments. While studio maternity sessions remain a favourite, I also get many requests for outdoor maternity sessions during this beautiful time of year.
This special maternity session is filled with stunning golden-hour light and breathtaking colours. I can't wait to share it with you—it's one of my all-time favourites, and I've been eagerly looking forward to showing it off!
I still vividly remember this session. The air was warm and still, and despite the relentless mosquitoes, I was captivated by the beautiful sunset and the wonderful family I was photographing. With their second little one on the way, the excitement between them was palpable (even if their baby boy, barely a year old, didn't quite understand what was happening!).
Summer sunsets can be quite late, making these sessions a race against time as the sun dips below the horizon and little ones stay up past bedtime. However, this sweet little guy was fantastic, with contagious giggles and big grins that spread from ear to ear. He was adorable, and I was completely smitten with him.
The session, set against the beautiful landscapes of Fish Creek Park (an absolute gem within the city of Calgary), was perfect in every way. Paired with his delightful antics and his wonderful parents, I'm obsessed with every image.
The entire gallery turned out beautifully, full of bright and vivid colors, tender moments, an adorable baby boy, and a radiant mother-to-be who made my maternity gowns look custom-made for her. I’m glad I brought a variety of gowns for her to choose from. With my pop-up tent, she could change outfits easily and privately, allowing us to make the most of our session time without running back and forth. It’s like having a studio out in nature!
While Mom was changing, I caught a beautiful moment between Dad and their son. When Mom saw these moments in her gallery, she absolutely loved them and immediately added them to her favorites.
As the session ended, we were all captivated by a herd of deer grazing peacefully near the path—a majestic buck and a group of does. It was a beautiful way to end the evening as the sun dipped below the horizon.
I could hardly contain my excitement on the drive home, eager to get the photos onto my computer. From what I saw on the back of my camera, I knew we had captured some truly stunning moments!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with this beautiful family and capture these precious memories for them. The finer details, like Mom's tattoos, her adorable hat, the family’s perfect outfits, and their happy, bouncing baby boy, made the session perfect.
I am always so grateful to meet wonderful families and see their reactions when they view their galleries and select their favorites. I love offering countless options and a customizable approach to each session so that each family can take home exactly what they love, tell their story the way they want it to be told, and display their photos as stunning professional masterpieces.
I am truly passionate about what I do and have so much fun being a Maternity & Newborn Photographer. I get to meet beautiful people and work with the most wonderful families.
