Laurie + Joe: Maternity

I went a month without using the camera so when Laurie wanted to do a maternity shoot, i was so happy to be back in the game! I asked Laurie if she had any antique chairs lying around her parents home.    It was funny seeing Laurie and Joe pull up into Fishcreek Park parking lot with a rocking chair stuffed in their little honda!

Joe’s childhood teddy bear.  Cute!

Mommy-to-be looking all cute and chic.  It was a cold afternoon so good on Laurie for braving it.    

Nice thing about having a longer lens is that the couple totally relaxes because I’m SO FAR AWAY.   I love walking shots.  Don’t know why.  Clara hates it when we attempt these because often times they don’t work out, but i think L&J look super good!

Joe seeing if baby has anything to say…

He likes what he hears! (Which is the absence of crying.  FOR NOW!)

The precarious rocking chair.  Remember the 80′s woven ratten look?  It works well in this field!        

The preggo mommy giving up the chair for the tired doctor, who came straight down to Calgary after his shift in Edmonton!   

Happy Joe.  Or deliriously sleepy Joe!

I know i’ve said this before but i love this size of the baby bump!

Laurie’s skin seems to glow.  I envy her milky complexion. =)

Thank you to the lovely couple for obliging to sit on the thorny grass.  And Laurie was in tights!

It was a cloudy day with no sun but i love how the grass kind of makes the image seem golden…

Laurie is blessed to have daddy-to-be as a doctor as well – so well taken care of!

Laurie was frozen by the end of the shoot, i always forget how it’s cold for them!  Thanks for posing sans jacket!  I’m glad we still caught some dry weather in November before it snowed.  Loved the textures and the contrast between the dress and the natural surroundings.  Shows off the bump so beautifully.  I’m eagerly awaiting your January due date.  Can’t wait to meet Joe Jr!
