I’m happy to say that over the years I have been a photog­rapher many of my clients have become friends. One such couple is Caroline and Tom. I first met these two about four years ago when I photographed their wedding and since then we’ve spent many the evening huddled over one board game or another.

When they let it slip that they were preggers, I talked them into doing a time-lapse shoot. Nine months later, little Vanessa popped out and we had some neat photos to work with. Here are three of the collages that are my faves.

The first is a rotation, and even though I got the angle slightly wrong in month three, it’s still pretty neat-o.

Here’s a close-up of month one vs month 9

Good thing we picked a stretchy top. It also matches my blog colours nicely  :)

This next one worked out aces. My fave single image is the second to last one. It’s also really clear which image was taken right after they returned from 2 weeks in the Caribbean :)

Congrats guys, and thanks for indulging me

This was a quick maternity session with Harkiran and Todd…and Tika, who tried to eat the lens right off my camera!

Erika and Michael will be familiar to you if you have poked around here before, and I was very happy to hear that these two wonderful people were expecting their second child. Their previous maternity session was done in and around their home, so we put a more urban flair to their maternity session this time around. Between Majors Hill Park and the National Art Gallery, we had a blast and created some great imagery too. She was just about ready to pop, so it won’t be much longer now!

Remember these guys? Baby number 2 is on the way now…

“I don’t want anything boring.”

I love it when I hear someone say that. This is what Bronwyn told me when she called me up asking about a maternity session. She and Shawn were married a few years ago and now that they are expecting, they decided to get some maternity photos done. “But nothing boring. I want them to be interesting.”

Excellent. Now as it happens there is a tree that I have had my eye on for a few years, and I decided this was the session to put it to use. It’s a huge tree that is still alive even though it has split down the middle, and I have been saving this for an outdoor maternity session. So off we went.

Once we were done in the tree, we took advantage of the field nearby…

Sometimes, in order for me to get across what I have in my head…

…I have to just get down and demon­strate (thanks for this Shawn!

Then it was time for one last image, and we were done. …Mike
