Megan’s Maternity Session | Edmonton Maternity Photographer

Megan’s Maternity Session | Edmonton Maternity Photographer

After nine years of working together, I was already pretty excited when my associate photographer Megan told me she was expecting her first baby. But when she asked me to photograph her maternity session, I was completely honoured.

Megan has been such a huge part of RedTree Photography for the past nine years. We have photographed countless weddings together, watched each other’s families grow, survived long wedding days, and shared so many memories along the way. So getting to photograph this completely different and incredibly special season of her life felt pretty amazing.

And can we just talk about how gorgeous she is?!

Megan was absolutely glowing for her Edmonton maternity photography session, and I am completely obsessed with these images. There is something extra special about photographing someone you have known and worked alongside for so many years. I already knew Megan was going to look beautiful, but these photos somehow exceeded everything I had pictured.

The Bokeh Was Actually Aphids

And before anyone asks… no, it wasn’t raining.

Those little floating spots of light and texture in the background?

APHIDS.

Apparently there were a ridiculous number of them floating around during our session, and somehow they ended up creating the most incredible bokeh behind Megan.

Honestly, I could not have planned it if I tried.

They look like tiny little pieces of magic floating through the photographs, and I am completely obsessed with how they turned out. Sometimes the unexpected things end up being the best part of a session.

Photographing Megan’s Maternity Session

Maternity sessions are some of my favourite sessions to photograph because they document such a short and meaningful season of life. Your body is changing, your family is changing, and there is this incredible anticipation of meeting someone you haven’t even met yet.

But this session felt particularly special.

Megan has been working alongside me for nine years, so I have photographed so many chapters of her life. Getting to photograph her as she prepares to become a mom is something I won’t take for granted.

And she made my job ridiculously easy.

She was glowing, the light was beautiful, the setting was perfect, and apparently the aphids decided to join us and provide their own little special-effects department.

I am so, so obsessed with these photos.

Edmonton Maternity Photography

If you’re looking for an Edmonton maternity photographer for natural, timeless maternity photos, I’d love to photograph this season for you. I love creating maternity images that feel beautiful and genuine without feeling overly posed or forced.

RedTree Photography is based just outside Sherwood Park, Alberta, and I photograph maternity, newborn, family, and wedding sessions throughout Edmonton and the surrounding Alberta area.

Megan, I cannot wait to meet that sweet baby. You are going to be the most incredible mama.

And yes, I am absolutely going to keep calling these the aphid photos forever.
