December in Ontario is not the best time to photograph an outdoor maternity.  Luckily, I have a studio to work in during the winter and early spring months.  Natalie was looking forward to a more creative studio session, with dramatic lighting to show off her pregnancy.  The dresses that she brought with her were incredibly gorgeous!  What a beautiful way to flatter her growing baby bump.  Tip: Not all maternity wear needs to come from the maternity clothing store!  These dresses were found in the regular women’s department.  Look for stretchy fabrics, and size up to fit.

Sometimes the baby’s father is not interested in being a part of the maternity session- and that’s totally OK!  About half of the time I photograph only the expecting mother, and older children (if there are any).  Thank you Natalie for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your pregnancy.  You are such a beautiful mom-to-be…. I can’t wait to meet your little baby soon!
