Spring in Edmonton, over the last few years, has been extremely windy. 2020 has been no different. It’s sad because the crab apple tree blossoms (or cherry blossoms as most people call them) blow off the trees after only a short few days. The morning of my maternity photography session with Salem was cold and the wind gusting to 50km/h. Not ideal for photos. As I was prepping to leave a storm starting rolling through. Double not ideal for photos! However, as I drove to the location in the Edmonton river valley, the clouds moved off and the sun came out. It was an absolutely beautiful evening! Salem was joined by her beautiful children, her sister and her parents. Please enjoy these maternity photos at one of Edmonton’s hidden gems for blossoms!

I’d like to thank all my clients who have willingly come outside with me in the winter for their photography sessions! I loved this snowy maternity session in Edmonton’s Millcreek Ravine with Ashley and her husband! Last time I photographed them and their puppies it was summertime. Looks different!

Book your newborn and maternity sessions here.

I was welcomed into Ana’s beautiful rural home for maternity photos.

After several family sessions with Stacey, I was super excited when she contacted me to book maternity and newborn photos! The light and the people in this field are beautiful!

I had the most amazing maternity session with Shu Shu and her family before baby Alex arrived. Edmonton has such a beautiful river valley in the summertime!

Edmonton’s river valley system is amazing! You can walk, run, bike, skate, or whatever for hours and see something new every time. Connecting to the North Saskatchewan River is a series of small streams and their ravines are like an oasis in the busy city. I follow many photographers and I am always envious of photos they share of sessions done in beautiful ankle-deep streams. We just don’t have anything like that in Edmonton or close by. Or so I thought! One day, while out for a walk with my family, we took a different path and discovered this beautiful stream! Thank you to all my clients who have splashed in the (cold) water with me!

Another beautiful summer maternity photo session in Edmonton! Mosquito free as well! I love the colours of the evening sun filtering through the trees. Aly is a stunning mom to be!

I was so excited to hear that Amanda was expecting again! I photographed her first baby a few years ago and she’s grown up to be such a little cutie. We did a combination of indoor studio maternity photos and then took a quick trip to the Lois Hole Centennial Park. Have to take advantage of Spring in Edmonton when there are no mosquitoes!

This was a fun maternity session at Enjoy Centre and the frozen Sturgeon river valley with Abby! I love it when my clients are up for something different! We were just heading out the door when we came across these glowing planters tucked away in the corner. I can’t wait until her newborn baby arrives!
