I've been eagerly waiting to share this gorgeous maternity session on the blog! It feels like it happened just yesterday—it was truly a memorable experience. This lovely couple was excitedly anticipating the arrival of their twin girls, and Mom-to-be looked absolutely stunning! We explored a variety of setups, outfits, and poses, even adding a touch of boudoir and implied nude, to celebrate the incredible journey of pregnancy and the beauty of a body in full bloom.
For this session, I wanted to try something new and capture some shots on a bed. Well, things didn’t exactly go as planned—haha! It’s a funny story. I had an air mattress all set up, excited to experiment with some fresh poses and setups. But as we started, Mom mentioned that she felt like she was slowly sinking into the bed. Oh no! Turns out there was a hole in the air mattress (thanks to one of my kids' fun jumping sessions), so after a few shots, we decided to switch gears.
We transitioned to some classy and elegant "boudoir-inspired" and implied-nude shots to capture the beauty of pregnancy. The all-white setup really added a simple, timeless feel to these images, and I’m thrilled with how they turned out! They were some of Mom’s favorites too—I’ll never forget her excitedly saying, "Oh my goodness! Just LOOK at how good I look!" when she saw her gallery for the first time.
Dads are absolutely welcome—and encouraged!—to join in on Maternity Sessions. I always plan poses that feature just Mom, as well as those that bring both Mom and Dad together. Including both parents creates a wonderful flow in the gallery, and I love capturing the shared excitement on their faces.
Some of my favorite images are the ones where the couple has their arms wrapped around the baby bump. The "intertwined" look is so meaningful to me; it symbolizes the protection of the little ones inside while also beautifully capturing the bond between Mom and Dad. It adds a special layer of emotion to the photos that makes them truly unforgettable.
Nothing beats the classy, high-end, and timeless feel of backlit images. These photos are breathtaking in both colour and black-and-white, creating truly stunning keepsakes. I love how the light outlines the body, adding a touch of complexity and elegance to a photo, even with such a simple concept. Beautiful!
As I was shooting, I noticed this couple had some serious "Vogue" vibes, so I leaned into that style, and the results were stunning! These magazine-worthy shots quickly became some of my favourites, and they got a lot of attention when I shared them on Instagram and Facebook.
I have to say, it was such a joy working with this beautiful Mama! She was up for anything and embraced all of my ideas. From implied nude to flowing gowns and stylish bodysuits—she rocked every look, and I absolutely loved it! Talk about a gallery with variety! I’m completely obsessed.
As I look back on this session, I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to capture these special moments. This session was truly a celebration of love, anticipation, and the beauty of new beginnings. To this wonderful couple, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with such an important chapter in your lives. It was an absolute honor to be part of your journey and to create these memories that you’ll cherish forever.
