Hocus Focus Photography specializes in Family, Maternity & Newborn Photography in Calgary & Airdrie, Alberta.
I'm always thrilled to welcome clients who travel a bit to join me for sessions—it's truly one of the best compliments! And when they keep coming back for more, it's the cherry on top!
I had the pleasure of capturing beautiful moments with this lovely mama during her maternity and newborn sessions with her first son just a year ago. Imagine my excitement when her name popped up in my emails, eager to book another Bump To Baby Plan for her second little one! Her first STUDIO MATERNITY SESSION with me was stunning and I couldn't wait to create more beautiful memories with her and her wonderful family.
Like her previous maternity photoshoot, Mama has chosen to centre her maternity session around herself, celebrating the beauty of her baby bump. She radiates sweetness, speaking with a gentle and friendly tone that makes each session a joy. I always enjoy our time together, appreciating the moments when she shares heartfelt stories about her babies and loving husband. These connections make my role truly special and rewarding.
I got my hands on some beautiful new fabrics and thought, why not play around with them during the session? Added a bit of fabric to the background of a simple photo, and it turned out gorgeous! I love how it brought some visual interest without going overboard on the simplicity.
I enjoy flexing my creative muscles during sessions, especially when clients trust me to do my thing. It makes sessions all the more fun. Getting creative and keeping each session different is my jam—it turns the routine into something less blah and adds a bit of spice to every gallery!
Given that her maternity session took place in the spring, I wanted to throw a mix of vibrant colours into her photos. With the baby's gender kept a surprise (like last time!), we embraced the spring vibes by incorporating May flowers into her gallery and the results were perfection!
To add further variety, I introduced my lovely yellow tulle gown. Doesn't she look gorgeous? I could have kept her in my studio all day long!
After exploring different colours, we shifted gears to embrace the timeless elegance of white on white. Transitioning to a more simplistic setup with a white gown and backdrop, I find joy in the art of simplicity. Harnessing the magic of studio lighting, I aim to add interest to the photos while maintaining a clean and polished aesthetic for the gallery.
One of the highlights of my studio is the accessibility to everything needed for a session. With a variety of backdrops, props, and gowns within arm's reach, we can seamlessly explore different directions. The abundance of choices adds a sense of variety to the session, making the photoshoot both enjoyable and exciting! Witnessing the delight in my clients' reactions when they see their photos for the first time is always a cherished moment of every experience.
I couldn't wait to meet the little one snug inside that gorgeous baby bump! Since I'd worked with this awesome family before, we had a good vibe going. I knew the kind of shots they loved, and our relationship was something special. We were ready to continue capturing more precious moments and memories—this time, with Big Brother joining in for the newborn session!
Working with my clients is an absolute joy. I'm lucky to collaborate with incredible families, whether they're just around the corner or from a bit farther away. The best part is when they keep coming back for more—that's the ultimate compliment! It gives me a ton of motivation and so much joy. Plus, witnessing their smiling faces and watching their families grow is just priceless. Big thank you to all!
