Wonderful maternity

I just love my job. I love it so much sometimes I want to pop. Do these images rawk, or what? Jane Photo was soooo lucky to be hired to photograph Becky and her upcoming bundle of joy. Becky's babe is due in another month. She doesn't know yet if she's expecting a boy or girl. That's so cool, I think, to have the anticipation. As Becky put it, there aren't many happy surprises left in the world these days, and this is definitely one.

Can't wait to photo your little arrival, Becky, and it was so much fun today.

sweet, sweet mama-to-be

Sam came to Jane Photo as a referral, and we did a June special mini maternity shoot. Sam's about to have her first little munchkin later this summer, and she's just blooming with good health. Being in your last trimester in this heat isn't fun, and we at Jane Photo wish her all the best for the safe delivery of her daughter or son. Can't wait to meet the new little one! We'll get awesome newborn photos.

Remember, everyone! Newborn photos are best taken around day four when your new little gal or guy is still very, very sleepy from the rigours of birth. This is before baby acne starts up, and when the little ones are still wonderfully squishable.

The most sensuous delicious maternity photos

D and M came to see me a couple of weeks ago for their maternity session. D wanted a different kind of maternity photograph: subtle and artistic, merely suggesting the pregnancy rather than having it front and center (as it were). I shot a number of lovely scenarios, but this grouping was by far my favourite. When I saw this one, it made me gasp.

D used to be a photographer herself, so I felt very honoured that of all the photographers she could have chosen, she picked Jane Photo. I know she will love her iimages when she sees them tomorrow.

Good luck, D and M, on the upcoming birth! I know the last trimester seems to just last forever while your ankles swell and pushing yourself up from a chair seems as hard as going after the holy grail, but it will end. It will end, it will end, it will end.

Lovely mom-and-dad-to-be!

I am up to my sorry ways, I'm afraid. I don't make new year resolutions, but if I had, one of them would have been to post more frequently on here. But we're only a few weeks into January and already I am remiss.

Still, I wanted to share the lovely maternity I did on Sunday out in the Fraser Valley...after getting caught in the band of white-out snow on the highway en route (happily to no ill-effect). It's a little wild when one takes studio gear on-location and asks an ordinary house to accommodate it, but S and K were game, and game then for my wacky ideas. They were in the middle, poor things, of selling their house (talk about stressful when you're expecting a baby any week), with people due to look at the house in a short while, so partway through we packed it all up and moved out into the community, returning later for the special bath portrait we'd planned for months.

The photos turned out beautifully, and I can't wait for them to see these sneak peeks and for their ordering appointment next week. It will be so fun to see them all on the big screen with music playing! And I so look forward to photographing their new little arrival in March.

Enjoy, S and K, and everyone else, too--how beautiful these two are.
