BABIES IN BLOOM PHOTOGRAPHY
Why You Should Book an Outdoor Maternity Session
Pregnancy is one of the most incredible seasons of life. It's a chapter filled with anticipation, excitement, and so much love before you've even met your baby. While it may not always feel easy in the moment, it truly is a fleeting season that deserves to be remembered. One of my favourite ways to capture this chapter is with an outdoor maternity session. There is something so timeless and special about being surrounded by nature while celebrating the incredible journey into motherhood.
A Beautiful Natural Backdrop
Ottawa is home to some truly stunning outdoor locations, but the Ornamental Gardens at the Central Experimental Farm will always be one of my favourites. With its winding pathways, beautiful benches, colourful blooms, greenery, and large gardens, it provides a breathtaking setting. It's no surprise the gardens are one of Ottawa's most popular locations for outdoor photography sessions. My favourite part about the Ornamental Gardens is that every visit feels a little different as the gardens change throughout the season with new flowers blooming constantly.
Everything is Prepared for You
One of the best parts of booking your maternity session with me is that you do not have to figure everything out on your own. I have created a simple, stress-free experience so you can feel confident and prepared from start to finish. My client closet is filled with many dreamy dresses, so there is always something that fits every mom’s style and vision. Here, Mama is wearing one of my maternity dresses from my client closet! If you prefer to wear your own outfits, I also provide a preparation guide to help you plan outfits for your family. I also love helping families include meaningful details in their session. I offer recommendations for sentimental baby items you can bring along to make your photos even more personal, such as tiny shoes, ultrasound images, or another keepsake that holds meaning for your family. To add even more variety to your gallery, I bring along a blanket and a few other props that can be incorporated into the images in a natural and beautiful way. Every detail is thoughtfully planned so you can relax and enjoy the experience while I take care of the rest.
The Best Time to Book
Outdoor maternity sessions are typically photographed between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, your bump has a beautiful shape while you're usually still comfortable enough to walk through the gardens and enjoy the experience. Spring, summer, and early fall each offer something unique—from blossoming flowers, falling leaves and vibrant greenery to warm golden sunsets.
Your pregnancy deserves to be captured.
