Another wonderful mini workshop and photo session with the pregnant women at Blue Skies Yoga. I just love seeing that warm smile and calm in a pregnant woman as she lays her hands on her stomach and connects with her child, it’s such a tender and precious moment.

August is going to be a busy month so my guess is not much time for blogging (sorry to disappoint), however just wait for September, there will be loads of fun images to browse through not to mention a fab new website launch.

Fall is my favourite time of year, I did get married in October after all. I love the colours, the crunch of leaves under your feet and the warmth of those Indian summer nights in September that lead into the cool days when you can smell that winter is around the corner. Time to bundle up and enjoy a cozy fire with your loved ones. Before that first snow fall comes, because trust me it’s not that far away, be sure to book a fall photo session for a delightfully rich palate of beautiful images to cherish for years.

There is a light within a pregnant women that shines from the inside out. It’s such a beautiful thing, a big round belly cocooning this perfect little person just waiting to come into the world.

Here’s a small glimpse of the light these women exude! The last few shots are of Janine, the owner of Blue Skies and her gorgeous daughter.

Thanks to Blue Skies Yoga and the moms to be for having me, it was a pleasure sharing some tips on capturing a great snapshot.

A relaxing yoga session learning stretches to keep cool over the hot summer months, discussing each mama’s tips and tricks on how they get their wee ones to sleep, followed by my mini workshop and photo session summed up a great Tuesday morning.

Meeting some wonderful moms and their cute babes resulted in some great shots. It was quick but fun and I hope to work with some of these lovelies again.

Next up will be my mini session from the Prenatal Yoga Class.

Thanks to Blue Skies Yoga for having me as a guest speaker for the moms and moms to be yoga classes!

When Em was three months old we joined a baby and me yoga class at Blue Skies Yoga and Eco Store. It was really great! Meeting other new moms, wonderful instructors and the studio is fabulous. That being said it was the first place I thought of to hang some examples of my work. The owners, Janine and Cheong, were happy to oblige. They have two Photo Art canvases up in the studio for people to enjoy.  If you’re a new mom, I would definitely recommend trying one of their classes and while you’re there take a peek at the canvases.

Photo Art is really unique and fun. It’s a one of a kind piece of artwork created from a portrait. It’s the perfect idea for a nursery to give you that personal touch, a kids room to add some colour or the rec room!
