Rockin' the Bump! | Mission Maternity Photographer

I have so much admiration for my Maternity Session clients - they are proud of their blooming tums, and they have every reason to be. They are creating an exciting new chapter in their lives, as well as a little slice of cuteness. I was so uncomfortable in my skin during my pregnancies that I almost completely hid from cameras!

Now that I am older and wiser, I sadly can't turn the clock back... but this gorgeous Mama-to-be was the latest lady to be smarter than I was, with a visit to the studio to capture this exciting stage in her life! She was so awesome to work with... and brought a very excited Grandma-to-be for encouragement. Looking forward to working with "Team Awesome" , this Spring, after bump has emerged!

Technically , this is the second time that this little lady has rocked a photo session with me... although her first time, she was still hiding in Momma's tummy!

Well, her second session was definitely not a disappointment... and although she didn't want to go into the complete deep "milk coma" that we usually like newborn babies to be in, she was still so well behaved that we had a great gallery's-worth of images in no time. I actually found it hard to stop shooting! (She was also so well behaved that I didn't even get chance to have a lot of snuggles... one of my favourite perks of the job! Oh well...)

Here are a few of my favourite shots from her newborn session...

And Baby Makes 4... | Chilliwack Newborn Baby Photographer

I met this little chap's family at last year's Baby & Tot Show. (Fantastic event for anyone with little people, or expecting. You can catch this year's show at the Abbotsford Tradex in October.)  He was my second teeny-toed visitor of 2015, and brought his big sister with him... who just happens to be an adorable red-haired little lass! Here is just a little taster of our morning together...

First Baby of 2015 | Chilliwack Newborn Baby Photographer

This little guy became my first studio visitor of 2015... and he was a joy to photograph - so cute and so well behaved!

Because I have limited Newborn spots available each month (to cater for the craziness of unknown arrival dates and diary juggling!), parents usually contact me to book during the last few months of pregnancy. However, with the chaos of Christmas approaching etc, his session ended up being quite a last minute booking. I am SO glad I was able to squeeze him, as I honestly couldn't have asked for a lovelier family to work with!

Ending 2014 With More Cuteness! | Chilliwack Newborn Baby Photographer

December 2014 was insanely busy for me, and whilst many got to take a week off between Christmas & New Year, my camera was as busy as ever! (I'm not complaining though.. it meant I wasn't stuffing my face with seasonal naughty treats and listening to my kids fighting over whoever was cheating at their new Hungry Hippos game!)

It was in that week, that my studio welcomed this brand new family, as my last Newborn Session of 2014. I have to say that this new Momma looked amazing (you would never know she had just had a baby!), and her little man was just a delight to shoot.
