Waiting for baby....

One of my friends bought her girlfriend my newborn/ maternity package for her as a shower gift,  and I met her and the hubby in Vancouver over the weekend. From the first moment I met them, I could literally feel their love and excitement radiating through them. They were so down to Earth, and I just thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. I can't wait to hear what baby is ( I think girl ;) and take their newborn pictures for them. 

Not much longer till there is a baby in your arms G and K!! 

  K had a great idea to do some nude belly shots, as I was editing them I kicked myself for not doing some myself during my pregnancies ( there's always next time right? ) 

To me, it is the definition of beauty; your body expanding to grow, nurture and house your unborn. 

Your body that gives your baby life.

How beautiful is that?

I only posted two, as the others are too revealing for the blog World. But I could have done this entire post of just them.

K, Thank-you for you confidence and natural beauty. You will make amazing parents to one lucky little boy or girl :)

Before we even met you, you were loved...

I photographed my Brother and Sister - in laws maternity photos at the beginning of this week. Although I really do hate to add the " in - law" to sister and brother because we are family now and nothing about our relationship spells out" in - law."

Anywho, we worked together - well me and Jess did;) thinking of some ideas, trying to find the right props and outfits that would fit both their style and personality, I think we succeeded!

And let me tell you, these two have chemistry!!! They have been together for  12 years now ( yes, high school sweethearts ) and with a little one on the way they are in LOVE more than ever!

But I don't really need to spell it out, or even use CAPS to proclaim their love because the pictures reveal it all...........

Tim, you still make me laugh by not saying anything at all, Jess you are a beautiful Mama and you both will only shine when you become parents.

I cannot wait to meet this little one and spoil them with love just as you have with mine. 

Enjoy these last weeks of just the " two of you" but it really only gets better.

LOVE LOVE LOVE you both.

Field of dreams...

I had many visions for this maternity shoot and I had fun planning it with my Mom to be girlfriend. 

I am so happy with how they turned out and I hope she is too! 

These two are gonna be wonderful parents and I can't wait to find out what this baby finally is!

J and K thank -you for being such troopers and for being " perfect" models.

We had quite the experience in this field. While laying in the tall grass, trying to get that " perfect" shot. I looked down and saw spiders. Not just a few, but thousands ( seriously ) black ones, some with silver backs. I tried not to freak out. ( Joni at this time was sitting in the chair - thank - goodness ) So I got -up thinking I would find another spot. But no. The field was infested. It was arachnophobia all over again. We pursued for a couple of more shots, Kevin being our own personal spider coach, ensuring us they couldn't get inside our shoes,...they were harmless... But I had the heeby- jeebies so bad that I could barely concentrate. Miraculously Joni who was just as freaked out as I was pulled it together and gave me some awesome shots. But neither of us could calm down. So we finally travelled to my favourite field where I live.

Kevin, you are a trooper! Never have a met a man be so patient and easy - going in a photo shoot. Just adds another to my " favourite " list ;)
Joni, not much longer Mama! You look beautiful and you have provided a lovely home for your unborn these last months.
Looking forward to exciting times to come!
I heart you both.

J&K sneak peek

MANY Many more to come!...........

What dreams are made of...

This is my beautiful girlfriend who  is expecting baby # 1 this summer, and I couldn't be happier for her.

 I know she will make an  amazing Mommy to one lucky boy or girl ( I think boy )

We recently went to Hawaii together , and on the last night as I was randomly taking photos of the boys ( pics coming soon ) in the yard,  she asked if I would snap a few of her as well. 

We were about to get ready to go out for our last dinner together, she was boarding a plane that night. But like most un - planned things in life, when you have no expectations, and when you least expect it, that's when good things happen.

I just love these photos, and I hope she does too!

I would like to say it was all my great photography  skills, but truthfully -

 This Mama can pose!

 It also doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous 

 She just has the " pregnancy glow" you can just feel her radiating with joy

J and K, we are so excited for you to join the  club. 

Enjoy, and treasure these last weeks full of wonder and excitement. 

This is gonna be one very loved baby.

Some oldies but goodies.. ( My favorite work thus far )
