Roni-Lee and Brian Maternity Shoot, Anchor Park, Holland Landing.

To say we were excited to shoot this maternity session is severely understated. We were absolutely ecstatic and that for very good reasons. Roni-Lee and Brian are one of those very special couples to us, the kind of people who kept in touch, refered other couples and generally spread a lot of good vibe not only around us and our business but around everybody. We knew early on, since their engagement and their wedding that spending an afternoon shooting with them would be a fun experience so we were looking forward to see how the bump shoot will turn out. This year the weather has been rather uncooperative so finding a fair day was not easy and with the delivery closing fast swiftness was imperative. In the end we decided home and a park close to home (if God forbid rain starts) would work best so Anchor Park in Holland Landing it was. For the uninitiated (like we were as well, so don’t feel bad) the name comes from the large anchor on display there, an old British made one, which was abandoned on it’s way to an unnamed Great Lake ship at the end of the 1812 War. Funny how history pokes up from the most unexpected places!

Without further ado, here’s a snippet of how ous shoot went. Enjoy!

Amanda and Neil Maternity, Richmond Green Park, Richmond Hill.

You might remember this lovely couple from their 5 year anniversary shoot we had at Richmond Green Park in Richmond Hill. Well, with a new addition to their family coming soon Amanda wanted to have a few maternity photos taken and for the sake of symmetry, we went exploring the same spots we went to last time. I’m not sure how anyone else feels about this, but welcoming new life on this world makes me really happy and it makes me remember my own experience as an expectant parent which was, well, also pretty happy.

It was a pretty hot and humid day and we had to dodge quite a few wedding parties shooting in all the good spots in the park but, despite all the agitation we managed to have quite a bit of fun and shoot a few photos. Here’s a few of them. Enjoy!
