The last trimester: that time when the last few weeks are counting down, and soon you’re going from two to three. There’s a certain excitement, anticipation and wonder that comes with this time. It’s such a joy to capture!
With Kim and Nic, there’s no hiding their absolute love for each other. They are so connected to each other and it’s so beautiful to see their love growing into a new chapter in their life. Their story is building and being there to preserve the feelings and memories for them is such a delight.
We met up at The Leaf at Assiniboine Park, and it is my absolute favourite location to visit in Winnipeg in the middle of the winter! Not only for the warmth, the live plants, and all the lush greenery, but also for the gorgeous backdrops for photo shoots.
We started off in the Tropical Biome then we went to the Mediterranean Biome and Babs Asper Display House. I was so happy to see the sunlight poke through the overcast skies to get that warm, humid glowing light that only a tropical setting can give you. My lenses were fogging up – and for a few shots, I intentionally left the fog on my lens for that extra “mood”. Why not? 🙂
Half a year ago, Lisa & Lyle’s second boy turned one, but life got busy and they never got a chance to do his first birthday cake smash. Shortly after that, they got the exciting news that they were expecting twin girls in the Spring! March rolled around and we finally got the time to meet up and capture this exciting phase in their family’s life. So we combined their maternity session with a family session and a 1st birthday cake smash (at 18 months old, because better late than never, right?!). We met up at CMU’s new building that houses Folio Cafe and we captured all of their fun & energetic family dynamics. The boys loved the pedestrian tunnel (and so do I for all that gorgeous light, clean lines & depth) and they enjoyed a doughnut treat at the end. It’s been so much fun to follow along their life journey ever since their engagement photo session with me in 2009, to now, with twin newborn photos just around the corner. Can’t wait to continue photographing this beautiful journey they’re on!
Meet Marlis, my friend and fellow photographer/coffee enthusiast – she’s expecting her very first baby and I’m so excited for her! Marlis and Ken are just a few days from meeting their first child and as the due date is fast approaching, the maternity session came together on one beautiful sunny evening in Winnipeg a couple of weeks ago. The best part is that these photos were gifted to her from her dear friends back in Vancouver, her former home. This gift card came as a surprise to her and I had so much fun (secretly) bringing it all together for Marlis on behalf of her friends on the West Coast. Marlis is now a Winnipeg photographer and has also become a good friend, so it was such an honour to photograph this amazing journey in her life. Soon I’ll also be taking photos of their newborn, so stay tuned for that! Can’t wait! Congratulations Marlis, you’re absolutely glowing!
