Tara’s Maternity Session

Laura — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 23:47:36 +0000

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to do a maternity session for one of my favourite wedding vendors, Tara Lasko, makeup artist extraordinaire. Tara is the talent behind creating all those sexy looks for our Boudoir Marathon ladies, and I’ve also had the pleasure of working with her at lots of weddings. Tara, husband Joey, and big sister Amara were eagerly anticipating the arrival of baby Micah, and I could sense their excitement throughout the shoot! Tara looked fabulous (as always) and truly glowed with happiness in all the photos. I’m pleased to say that little Micah has made his big debut, and I’ll be blogging his newborn photos soon – so stay tuned!

Reina’s Maternity Session

Reina is expecting her second child very soon, and wanted to record her pregnancy with some professional maternity photos. Of course I was happy to oblige, and even happier to meet Reina and her family, who were an absolute delight! Little sister Kaya is pretty excited about her new brother, but also seemed equally interested in my camera – when not actually the subject of my photos, she watched my every click! I am now quite convinced she will grow up to be a superb professional photographer! Reina has also booked a baby session for the new addition, and I can’t wait to see the family again with their beautiful baby boy!

Rebecca’s Maternity Photo Session

I was so excited to do Rebecca’s maternity session – not just because I love maternity sessions, but also because Rebecca and husband Kairns are past clients! We had the honour of shooting their wedding back in 2007, and it was so neat to document this next big milestone in their lives. For this session, I had the opportunity to shoot both at Rebecca and Kairns’ home, and just outside their place near the river. Inside, Rebecca has decorated their home beautifully – she truly has a flair for design and it made my job easy! Outside, we had luscious evening light, the kind photographers dream about – that golden, warm light complimented Rebecca’s “glow” perfectly! I’m happy to say that Rebecca and Kairns are now the proud parents of a wonderful baby girl – congrats!

Liza’s Maternity Photo Session

My wonderful friend Liza is expecting her second child this July, and I was honoured do her maternity photos. While father Shaun was at work, we used some different spots around her Vancouver home as well as a really cool brick wall just outside. Most importantly, we had (soon-to-be) big brother Cohen along for the photos. The photo above is probably the cutest photo I have ever taken – little Cohen seems to think he has a baby too, and in that photo he’s showing me where it is (as is mommy!) Seriously – how adorable is that?! I saw Cohen for the first time just 11 hours after he was born, and I can’t express what a special experience that was, and how great it’s been to watch him grow and change. I’m so looking forward to meeting the new little guy, and experiencing those feelings all over again!

Lily’s Maternity Photo Session

Lily is expecting her second little girl in April, and decided to mark the event with a maternity photo session. I really enjoyed working with Lily and her beautiful family. It’s always neat to see the anticipation in the faces of the parents, but adding soon-to-be big sister Elissa made it extra special. I love that sense of wonderment that surrounds a maternity session – what will the baby look like, what day will it be born? So much excitement! Thanks to Lily and congrats on the upcoming new addition to your family!

Jian’s Vancouver Maternity Portraits

Jian and Scott are expecting their first child in February, and I was so excited to document this special time for them! The session was shot in the comfort of their home – I personally enjoy shooting in a home environment because it lends itself well to the warmth and feeling evoked in maternity session images. Makeup artist Tara Lasko was also on hand to enhance Jian’s already glowing look. Jian and Scott are such a sweet couple, and I can’t wait to see their new little baby!
