Harper's Studio Newborn Session
Maternity & Newborn Photographer in Calgary, Alberta

It's been a while since I have blogged! I've been busy with some big and exciting changes this year! Many of you who had maternity sessions and/or newborn sessions with me over the course of 2021 probably heard me commenting (or complaining - haha!) about how I felt I had outgrown my newborn photography studio. Well, the universe opened its doors and presented me and my family with an unexpected move, which I can only say is a huge blessing as it's allowed my studio space to grow into a more spacious, more efficient, more comfortable and more beautiful space for me to continue growing my newborn photography business.
This Maternity Session was one of the last ones that I shot in my old studio. I always reminded myself to stay thankful that I had a studio in my home and was able to create beautiful portraits of families and the exciting milestones they were experiencing in their lives. It took a little extra work with changing sets during a session. A bit cumbersome, but doable.
As my business continued to grow, so did my studio. What used to be a neatly-contained workspace in a 290 sq ft bonus room in my home slowly turned into different rooms serving different purposes. All three of my kids shared a room so that I could use one of the bedrooms as a client nursery, and also use the closet to store my 50+ Maternity Gowns and overflow of props! My home that once had a studio was slowly turning into a studio that had a family living in it and it was a clear sign that Hocus Focus Photography was thriving SO much that she was outgrowing her environment!
I knew that if I wanted to be able to continue to improve my business and serve my clients, something was going to have to change. So, I put it out into the universe for a sign on what to do and shortly after (within days) we were presented with the perfect opportunity to move. It was unexpected, it was fast, and over the course of a couple of weeks my studio doubled.. no.. TRIPLED in size!
Now that I have all of this new and glorious space in my new studio, my sessions have become so refreshingly efficient. I am re-inspired by the new workspace and my clients have fallen in love with it, as well!
I was excited to have this family come to my NEW studio after having shot their Maternity Session in my old one. The session went so smoothly, and it was so nice to have room to work, as well as have several setups all ready to go to make the session flow more smoothly.
Baby girl, Harper, has been lovingly welcomed into the family by her older brothers and I loved all of the enthusiastic expressions they gave me through the session. Harper made me work for a portion of the session, but as always, it's the cute ones who make you work for it. I am happy with how her portraits turned out. With gentle finessing, I was able to present Mom & Dad with a beautiful gallery with adorable images of their newest family member.
My clients have been so understanding with my move. Some of my things were still packed away, and I am thankful that Mom had remembered to bring along her little mini crown. I had one somewhere in my stash of props, but it was a relief that Mom made it easy and brought her own along. Little Harper looks so cute with the little crown on her head!
I loved working with this family and I know that these memories will only grow more precious as the years carry on, and (I sound like a broken record, but...) I am always so thankful and appreciative of my clients. I hope you enjoyed these beautiful galleries as much as we enjoyed capturing them together. :)
