K - Expecting] Ottawa Maternity Photographer

K was referred to me at her 36th week- and you may find it hard to believe that she was 37 weeks when we took these photos. I don't recommend getting images this late, but K was just a stunner on the eve of her 37th week as was little miss M. Thank you K and family for a lovely evening...I can't wait to meet your new addition!

C - Contemporary Maternity Portrait] Ottawa Maternity Photographer

We spent a lovely afternoon at C's home taking her maternity portrait here in Ottawa, Ontario. She had a very natural beauty and was totally at ease with the camera. Using primarily natural lighting and a reflector, I also employed on camera flash dialed down for fill. She gave birth four days later! Four weeks early! Stay tuned for the newborn shoot!

Y and J- Maternity] Ottawa Fine Art Maternity Photographer

This hip couple was amazing to photograph. While initially a bit nervous, we settled into a rhythm that produced these contemporary maternity portraits. For the most part these images have gone through a light conversion, but no retouching yet. Check my web site to see the final versions, I will surely be adding them shortly. Enjoy!

S- Maternity] Ottawa Maternity Photographer

I was so pleased with the elegant images that came from the maternity portrait session with S. We incorporated her personal contemporary style to create some lovely images in my signature "boudoir maternity portrait". I loved her amazing reclinign leather chair and couldn't resist her model in it. I am looking forward to meeting her little one in a few weeks. Stay tuned.

Maternity Portrait] Ottawa Maternity Photographer

It was a beautiful sunny morning today when we headed out with M and her two little ones for a maternity portrait session in a secret garden in Ottawa. M was looking for a maternity portrait that was natural, down to earth and simple. These are some of my favorites. Thank you to Alea Cardarelli for lending her wonderful eye and personality as a second shooter today.

It was an absolute gift that all of these daffodils had just bloomed and the children could not get enough of them! Spring is a beautiful time to be born ;)

The most beautiful maternity clothes Ever!] Ottawa Maternity Photographer

I don't normally feature clothes on my blog, but when Isabella Olivier followed me on Twiter this morning I was struck- Wow. These could be the all time most beautiful clothes for pregnant women ever! Isabella Olivier gets 2 thumbs up for her beautfil Spring collection. These are magnificent and I totally recommend them for maternity portraits in the capital this Spring.

Not just for Pregnant ladies Isabella Olivier also carries a stunning line of clothes for the everyday lady. My two favorites are the new waited pencil skirt and the hooded tank.

I had an amazing afternoon photographing this beautiful lady. We had such a great time and even got hubby in a few pics as well. It is always a challenge when you are working on location to minimize the background and make everything work. I had some wonderful lighting and did not even need to bring out reflectors or on-camera flash.
