I am on call for so many births this spring and summer, I am really excited! I have started the domino effect of maternity sessions, and you know that I looooove maternity sessions. My last two birth meetings and maternity sessions were with couples who are expecting twins!! So special! scroll down to look at my favourite photos from both those sessions!

DENISE & BENTLEY
When most people think of an early spring photo session they think dreary and cold because it's the end of winter. Quite honestly, there is some real beauty in the bare trees and yellow grass and shrubs. Just check out this session from just the other day! I adore that barely frozen pond mixed with the autumn colours and the warm glow of the late afternoon sun hiding behind the clouds. And of course this mama's radiant dress is the perfect pop of colour. Hanging out with this couple for the afternoon was just wonderful. They certainly rocked their session. I am very much looking forward to being there to document the birth day of their babies!

TWO PLUS TWO
End of winter is also a perfect time for an in home session. Especially with little kids. It gave us time and space to chat about birth and documenting their birth day while the kids played. They later joined us for some photos. It couldn't have been more perfect that they came down the stairs with a heart balloon!! I can't wait for the day they meet their new babies!! Those pictures will be so so precious!

Thanks for stopping by!

{birth story}

I have had two babies of my own, so for the most part I know what birthing mothers are going through. But when I document a birth and I watch these women bring life in to the world, I am still always in awe at how instinctual women become and so incredibly amazed at the strength of women. There really is nothing in this world like watching life begin.

This mama had been practicing hypnobirthing techniques, so I watched her just riding the waves as they came. One contraction at a time. Staying calm even when her birth plan changed. You see, when you go a ways past your estimated due date, you run a higher risk of getting meconium in the womb. If that happens, It's usually fine, but advised that you head to the hospital just for precaution. She made the transition and stayed focused and stayed calm and after many hours of breathing, baby Juniper entered the world. She's so bright eyed and beautiful and very interested in her new world already! Scroll down to see some of my favourite images and at the bottom of this post you can watch the whole birth story, which as always, will probably make your cry.
