Having a baby…SOON! Maternity photography – Whitby Ontario

Oshawa Maternity Photography LifestyleWell, I know by these pictures, you would never be able to tell that she’s due soon…very SOON! Umm…Andrea, you look like I looked when I was 2 months pregnant the second time around.  I’m serious.  Really.  If you’ve been pregnant more then once, you know that generally speaking, you start showing much sooner then the first time!  But I swear Andrea looks just as gorgeous, as the first time, and I think she tried to tell me she’s gained more weight this time, but I don’t believe it!!!!!

I have to admit there are reasons I do what I do and one of them is capturing moments like this…

You know me, I love shots that are emotional, and although I can’t tell what the parents to be are thinking, I’m sure it’s all wonderful thoughts about their baby on the way.  Scott and I joke around a bit about how I think the baby is going to be another girl, and how he’s “secretly” rooting for a boy.  So every time I see him I spontaneoulsy scream out “girl” as though I have some sort of nervous tick or something.  He gives me an evil eye and says “bite your tongue!”  But deep down I know that Scott and Andrea will love their baby on the way the same, no matter boy or girl.  I will tell you though when I walked into the house and saw Andrea for the first time in months, I immediately thought “boy!”  Don’t tell Scott though!

Their little one gave us a bit of adult alone time while she napped.   I think I laughed a little too loudly and woke her up! (Yes, I make no secret of it, I’m a loud laugher…Did I mention I love to laugh???)

Lifestyle photography right here:

 

You know what I love most about Scott and Andrea…two things, number 1: (ask me about Marco another time! I’ll do a little french transating for you!)

and #2:  the banana & chocolate chip pancakes! You know you’ve arrived when you show up at a session and breakfast is being prepared while you shoot! Love it….

And I think one of my favourite shots of the day has to be this one:

I just have to say a BIG HUGE THANK YOU to Scott and Andrea, seriously, for being huge supporters of me and my career from Day One.  I think next to my mom, Andrea may be my biggest fan, and I want you to know Andrea (and Scott!) that I appreciate it to no end.  Really. It means alot.  Ok enough mushy stuff…now give us some more Banana Chocolate Pancakes and maybe we will let the cat go unharmed and unkissed! 🙂

    Great pics Elaine. Your intensity and desire with photography can be seen by these shots. You always seem to get the best out of every picture.

On the farm…

We’ve been friends for a while now, playing lots…and I mean LOTS, of ball together!  Somehow it makes you family.  We are all fighting for a common goal, rings in Niaraga Falls.  At the start of the year we play tournaments and if we win, great, if we lose, not so great, but ok, we had fun, we socialized, we laughed, we had some pops by the car…but Niagara, well let’s just say what happens in Niagara stays in Niagara!!  Except if we win a ring, then everyone will know about Niagara!  But back to the family session I did today.  Kate and I have become friends and family through ball.  We have our “dynasty” moments, our “let-your-hair-down” fun moments, sad moments, happy moments…and through it all, we’ve remained friends.  I guess that’s what friendship is, going through things, and coming out on the other side, still friends…I know Kate has my back, and I hope she knows I have hers too! 🙂

When Kate asked me to photograph her and her family, of course I said “Heck YA!”  Kate is gorgeous and so is her family…

See, told you they’re gorgeous!

Kate and Jay, they look so happy.  Seriously, I love pictures that evoke an emotion, and for me when I saw the above picture, I smiled.  The picture to me says happiness…

The girls and one of the horses (who insisted on being in almost all the pictures! He gave new meaning to the term “Camera Hog”) .

The boys GQing it out for the camera, again with the “Camera Hog”.

The kids with Kate’s dog…I say Kate’s dog because quite frankly, if you know Kate you would say she is THEE Dog Whisperer!  Any dog she owns is completely and totally in love with her…Eyes only for her…in fact I think Harris has his eyes closed right now because he’s dreaming about Kate!  You think I joke…I’m serious! 😉

 

Anyways, Kate and family, thank you for letting me into your beautiful home and spending a couple hours with you doing my thing!

    Through my tears I can only say that Elaine has brought our inner beauty out and I cannot thank her enough for her patience and ability to make us feel as beautiful as we look.
    Thank you
