Kirstin: Belly Pics

Everything about this couple was fab......from their spunky personalities, great sense of style and just how much they adore their

little nephew; these are going to be two amazing parents. Brooke and I headed out to Keremeous as it was one of the only spots I

knew of which offered any sort of privacy. Kirsten was wanting some "classy" nudes, but not in a nature setting....well, as you can

see the location we ended up in is definately green.....but I think they turned out beautifully. Kirsten, I'm sorry we couldn't find

anything more urban for you, but I'm afraid I would have been ticketed!!! And I have to say....you really are INSANELY gorgeous

...pregnant or not!


Please be forewarned there is partial nudity in this post......and stay tuned in the coming weeks from some brand new baby pics

of what is sure to be a gorgeous little bundle!


We had a wonderful time working with all of you.....

My fave of the day....








Seriously....what I wouldn't give to look this this!

Candice + Chris: Expecting

This weekend was a busy one; we packed up the family and headed to Vernon for 2 nights, not only so I could photograph a

wedding but also to have a long-awaited visit with our great friends Candice & Chris. My hubby Mike and Candice have been

friends for many years, which is how I first met Candice; she actually told me that I should "stay away" from Mike as he wasn't in

commitment mode! I guess I had something he just couldn't stay away from! Candice & Chris are expecting their first child, a

little girl in just 6 short weeks and if I'm lucky I'll be photographing their big day; it would be such an honor so I am hoping

everything comes together! This shoot was a bit of a challenge for me, as I'm a wee bit shorter than Miss C. Put it this

way...she calls my hubby who's 6'1 "small fry". I definately needed to take advantage of anything I could climb on as this

gorgeous Mum-to-be is 6'3....more than a foot taller than me! The weather was scorching and the sun was blazing...we also

shot at high noon, which all photographers know is less than ideal. Lucky me though...even with all those obstacles I had a

gorgeous model who has a perfect little bump and man oh man, could she work the camera. I was loving every minute of it!

Thank you so much both of you, and I simply cannot wait to see just who this brand new little person is going to be.


Lots and lots of love,

Mish

Lindsay:: Belly

Lucky, lucky me:) I had such a fantastic time photographing the gorgeous Lindsay of Heiress Salon & Boutique. Not only does

she have a fabulous personality, she's got kickin' style and is up for whatever we ask of her! Everything seemed to come

together....the sun was shining, Linds was still preggo, and Baby Eve was a doll, letting us drag her around on the shoot:)

Thanks again to Brooke for coming...it's always more fun

working together:)

Hope you love 'em Linds!

West Coast Belly

I truly do love doing photo shoots on the Island; there is always somewhere fantastic to go outdoors, but of course there is the

ever- constant drawback of the RAIN! I was in Victoria for 5 days, and it literally poured rain ( and even snowed at times) my

entire trip. Except for this little window of about an hour when I managed to get 3 minishoots done...I had Lisa, Mel and her son

Mr. R in front of my camera; we had to be QUICK! This gorgeous Mama-to-be is Lisa....she was a trooper out in the cold and

even managed to put up with me bossing her around for the 15 measly minutes I had with her. Aside from the challenges, we did

manage to capture a few images that I hope she'll love:)


Thanks again, and I can't wait to photograph your new bundle next time I'm down:)

Wiggly Bump

I know you're all used to me posting a tonne of pics from each shoot; but this one just didn't go as planned:( I headed to the

Island with the girls a few weeks ago ( hence the lack of blogging) and while there had a few shoots booked with Mums-to-be.

Well, the weather did it's typical "West-Coast" thing and decided to rain NON-STOP the entire week I was there. Thankfully the

sky cleared for about an hour this one day and we squeezed in pics of BOTH Mum's bumps as well as a few with M's very

adorable son.

Thanks so much for all your patience, and I can't wait to "finish" these shoots once the babe are here:)

Mish

The countdown is ON!!!!

First and foremost I would like to thank Brooke for taking the

time away from her crazy-hectic life to get some shots of my belly; I couldn't be happier with them ( but am still anxious to

see the rest...LOL)! Although it was freezing outside, we were in a city we'd never shot in before AND the types of locations

were new territory to both of us, together we came up with some fun images:) And the fact that B's talent behind the camera,

as well as her Photoshop skills made me actually enjoy looking at my much-bigger-bod....made it well worth freezing my

booty off!


Now that the photos are out of the way I just need to get this baby HERE; I'm ALMOST 37 weeks here, so it could be soon.....we

are VERY excited ( and impatient) to have a "fresh" new model on our hands!

near future (and remember to click on these images to see them in full size:)

Last Days of Summer....

Brooke and I headed out for a shoot the other evening with a past client of mine & her Mum; well, Mum-to-be again, that is! Mum is due with #2 in a couple more weeks, and I am thrilled that she thought of me to take these images. Her daughter "A" is 5 years old, and is absolutely one of my favourite little models...blonde hair,huge blue eyes and the sweetest disposition. They were both so easy to work with. We photographed at the end of the day, so the Little Miss was a bit hungry, had the sniffles and was getting chilly...thank you so, SO much for being such a trooper (both of you)! And for those of you wondering, no.....Mum's belly has not been touched up AT ALL!!!! I am not kidding you; it's that perfect. I just can't wait to see the new bundle:) Stay tuned for their newest family member in the weeks to come.

And Baby (will soon)! Make 4!

I had yet another opportunity to photograph my sister-in-law's beautiful belly and their growing family. The first time around was in a studio 2 years back when she was preggers with their son, and I had yet to venture outdoors into natural light photography. I have to say that I enjoyed this time around much more! Baby #2 is due in a few weeks when I'm sure my blog will be bombarded with teensy newborn photos.

Thanks again to all 3 of you for coming out, it was a lot of fun!!
