I ♥ my Baby Bump

We had a great maternity photoshoot today with one of my good friends. It was her birthday a couple days ago and she is 7 months pregnant and absolutely in love with her baby bump. She was so happy and excited, she kept saying that she felt like a movie star.

Here are some of her best baby glow photos:


Elbow Falls

Elbow Falls is a small set of waterfalls along the Elbow River, west of the hamlet of Bragg Creek within Kananaskis Country, Alberta. They are located along Highway 66, 20 km (12 mi) west of the Bragg Creek turnoff on Highway 22X. Elbow Falls is a great place to go if you want to get out of the city.  There are picnic tables and fire pits all over.

My boyfriend and I headed west of Calgary today to get some fresh air and take some photos at Elbow Falls. it is a very popular place during all seasons.  It was a beautiful day and there were a lot of photographers out shooting. After getting our shots and chatting with a few friendly people, then headed into Bragg Creek for some amazing pizza from Dave’s Pizza. If you are in the area and craving pizza, you should definitely check it out.

P.S. – this is my first real outdoor shoot with the new 50D and I still love it!!

Alberta Sunset

In Calgary you can head west and be in the mountains in an hour or you can head east and be in the prairies. I headed a few minutes East out of the city to get this shot.  During winter time in Alberta there are a lot of people who suffer from seasonal depression.  It is always great to have a bright sunny day and the opportunity to wear your sunglasses.
