London Ontario Winter Maternity Session
With maternity sessions, I love starting with cozy photos at home before heading outdoors, especially in the winter! It was freezing cold on the day of this January maternity shoot, but starting inside gave us an opportunity to take some bare belly photos, as well as photos with the dogs, before heading out in the snow. One of my favourite detail about this shoot is that the gorgeous rocking chair was HANDMADE by dad. Can you believe that? It was even more stunning in person!
Here are some favourites from the shoot!
London Ontario Maternity Photographer | In Home Lifestyle & Forest Maternity Session
I absolutely loved Jacky & Brad’s maternity session. I really enjoy splitting a session between in-home and outdoor. For this shoot, we got to cozy up for some lifestyle shots indoors before heading out for some woodsy outdoor photos (featuring Jacky’s stunning yellow dress). Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Maternity Photographer | Woodsy Winter Maternity Session
I absolutely loved meeting this beautiful family on this sunny, snowy evening for their maternity/family session. Spoiler alert: the baby boys this gorgeous mama was carrying in these photos are cute as can be, and lucky me - I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them twice since!
London Ontario Maternity Photographer | Greenhouse + Snowy Winter Maternity Session
This session is making me nostalgic for Winter sessions as I await the go-ahead to start shooting again. This maternity session was split between a sun-soaked greenhouse and a snow covered forest, which provided lots of variety, not to mention a break from the cold! Jennifer wore her beautiful gown for the outdoor portion of the session and didn’t complain once about the cold (and it was COLD) - what a rockstar! Here are some favourites.
London Ontario Maternity Photographer | Woodsy Fall Maternity Session
This was my first session with Melissa and Michael, shooting on their beautiful property. After their maternity session, we went on to photograph a hospital newborn mini, an in-home newborn lifestyle session, and multiple family minis. It’s so wonderful to get to work with clients over the years and document those special life milestones. Here are some favourites from their woodsy Fall maternity session.
London Ontario Photographer | 2019 Spring Blossom Minis
Ahhh, Spring Blossoms. The thing we photographers look forward to and dread, fawn over and despise. We love them, they are gorgeous and make for the dreamiest backdrop. They are also fickle, unpredictable, fragile and in high demand (picture 5 photographers huddling around the same Magnolia tree). But at the end of the day, we just can’t get enough of these beautiful blooms.
Today I’m looking back on last year’s Spring Minis, which coincided with the Magnolia blooms. (They don’t always, sometimes our date coincides with crabapple blossoms or redbuds - also gorgeous!)
I’ll be emailing everyone on my Mini Session Advance Notice List this afternoon (to get on the list, email sophie@rawfootagephotos.com, subject line: Mini Session Advance Notice) with info on the upcoming 2020 Spring Minis. Once the advance notice list gets first dibs, any remaining spots will be released over on the booking page until they are sold out.
It might be -15 degrees and snowy outside today, but Spring is right around the corner, pals! :)
London Ontario Family Photographer | Fall Woods Minis
Fall Minis are officially open for booking, which means it’s time to look bak on last years Fall sessions in the woods. I don’t specifically plan my Fall minis around trees with changing leaves (They’re either way up high in a mature tree or on the ground, which means that anything other than a wide shot gives me a tree bark background - not my favourite ;) ). Instead I am a sucker for golden, overgrown grasses and Autumn wildflowers. I loves these sessions and cannot wait to be back in this same location for Fall Minis again this year.
