Blog: Newborn, Maternity, & Milestone Photographer in Okotoks AB

I get a lot of last minute newborn bookings and I’m totally fine with that! I always make room in my calendar for those Moms who had no idea they were supposed to book their session “weeks” in advance! Scheduling your babies newborn pictures isn’t exactly covered in your birthing classes, is it? So when...

A couple weeks ago I had Briars Momma in the studio for her Maternity Session and at the time her little one was bottom down and we were crossing our fingers that she would eventually turn around and get ready to make her grand entrance! Thankfully she did turn and was head down just in...

I’ve had so many ‘older’ babies lately! Mom had booked her session well before her little boy was born but because of complications during his delivery we didn’t get him into the studio until he was 4 weeks old! Little Parker didn’t want to miss a moment during his newborn session and was awake most...

Do you guys remember this gorgeous couple? Well, turns out when you’re both gorgeous you make a gorgeous baby! I knew she was going to be cute, but jeez! This was cuteness overload! Georgina and Philip schedule both a Maternity and Newborn Session with me. I love when clients schedule both sessions as it gets...

You guys. I did a thing. This has never happened to me in all my years photographing newborns! Before every session I like to plan ahead and get all my sets together and laid out so I can see what I’m working with and plan for my session flow. I think about what props I’m...

A couple weeks ago I actually photographed this little guys “Big” cousin! And by “Big” cousin I’m talking 3 weeks older! Yep – their Moms are sisters and were due within a couple weeks of each other. I love when I book newborn sessions for the same family because I get to be a large...

One thing I love about being a newborn photographer is seeing family’s grow! The first time I photographed this family was 5 years ago and I was working out of a tiny little room in my home. All 4 of us crammed in there for family pictures and newborn pictures and to say it was...

Little Zoey was one of my favorite newborn sessions! I absolutely love this little girl. She had the most amazing little features. Her parents brought her in for an all swaddle session and add-on parent poses so her session lasted about 1.5 hours and she slept the entire time. During a newborn swaddle session I...

I received a lot of last minute bookings back in June! These were babies that were born either during the pandemic, or right before. These families really wanted newborn pictures but had to wait until it was safe for studios to open up again. When this Mom contacted me about newborn pictures, she had 2...

And then there were two! I remember the first time I photographed this sweet family. They came with their first little one – a boy – and we call crammed into my home studio. While it wasn’t ideal, it was certainly exciting to have them come to my new studio and sit back and relax...

I’d like you to meet little Isla! When your parents brought her into the studio they told me she had just had a bath that morning and her hair was now untamable but I think it’s amazing! I love fuzzy little newborn hair dos! They either have a faux hawk or come in with the...

Little Isaias was full of personality during his newborn session! He was the sweetest little guy and had some amazing little expressions. We started out his session with him wide awake but wrapped so he could get comfortable. Eventually he drifted off into a nice deep sleep. His mom chose a mini swaddle session which...

This baby you guys! She’s such a pretty little baby and every color we set her up in looked amazing with her beautiful skin tones. Her newborn pictures are some of my all time favorites! I feel so blessed that I get to photograph these little newborns within their first couple weeks. Lately I’ve been...

I’m a little bit in love with this guys silly faces! He had a whole gallery of the cutest little smiles and funny looks and I can just imagine how hard it was for his parents to narrow down their favorites at their ordering appointment. His parents chose a mini swaddle session and he was...
