Virgos ~ Montreal Maternity Photographer

mell — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 14:16:33 +0000

So as soon as I met this couple and B starting helping me “place” his beautiful wife to perfect the shot and follow through on obtaining my vision, I had to ask him….

“What zodiac sign are you???”

and– as I thought…he responded: VIRGO.

Oh, the sweet, obsessive, crazy traits of a virgo only another virgo can recognize and appreciate. So I told B…. he was hired as my assistant.

But seriously, I loved this couple, they have the perfect combination of personalities. They just mesh into this perfect weave, complimenting one another so sweetly.

Can’t wait till we get together again!

Pregnancy ~ Montreal Maternity Photographer

“You’re gonna miss this, you’re gonna want this back.

You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast.

These are some good times, so take a good look around.

You may not know it now, but you’re gonna miss this.”

If anyone would have ever told me I would miss pregnancy, I would have told them they are crazy. Honestly, I love seeing pregnant woman, I think they emit beauty in a way nothing else does but ask me if I enjoy my pregnancies and I will tell you…no way! Yes, it is miraculous, yes it is amazing, but feeling sick, uncomfortable and huge for 9 months is not my cup of tea. So when I came across this little quote on pregnancy, and really took it in…now that I know we are completely done with babies, now that I know for sure we will never be pregnant again…I have to say…YES… I will miss it. When will my body ever do anything so amazing again. never. not ever. When will my body ever look like that again. When will I ever experience those first little signs of a baby growing inside of me. So trust me, if you have questioned doing a maternity session… feel you don’t look as cute as the pregnant woman next door…I can bet that you do, and I can bet that if you don’t capture this time, the way your body just amazingly makes room to grow an actual living being, you will regret it. You will indeed actually miss being pregnant!

To the beautiful couple in these images…I can’t wait to meet your baby, and how lucky the baby will be with so much love between her parents.

“The best and most beautiful things can not be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.”

A loving heart makes for a beautiful home for baby to grow. Keep loving one another,

keep smiling,

keep laughing,

and your beauty will constantly blossom.

“People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.”

As someone who struggled as a child/teen/young woman with seeing any beauty in myself, I now make it a point to make every one of my clients feel as beautiful as they are.

And I really do see beauty in everything and everyone,

and I have been so blessed to be able to give this gift of mine to the world (ok well my little world and those who choose to be a part of it).

This couple is just so sweet… with so much love for one another, and so eager for this new phase of their life’s. I am so thrilled to be able to be part of it, and to be able to capture it this way.

Congrats to you both and I can’t wait to meet the baby.

Baby on the way ~ Montreal Family Photographer

mell — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:16:37 +0000

These blue eyed boys were just gorgeous and so fun to work with. Mommy is expecting her third now … but doesn’t know if she is having a girl or a boy! We will need to wait until the newborn session to find out. Now I know hoe everyone felt when I didn’t know the sex of our baby!!

D- It was such a pleasure getting to know your little family, there is so much love between you and your hubby— it really was so touching!

They say:

The best thing a father can do for his children is love their mother!

This without a doubt is true and your sweet boys obviously sense this!

Fun Contest ~ Montreal Family Photographer

mell — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:48:58 +0000

In light of my upcoming birth I thought I would have a fun contest for all my fans and previous clients.

It is simple….just guess when the baby will be born in the comment field below.

You *must* enter a date and time.

A little background:

This is my third child.

My first son was late, and I was induced 2 days after my due date. I was in labor for 18 hours and had him at 3:41 AM.

My second son came 10 days early. I was in labor for 6 hours and had him at 12:05 pm.

During my 20 week Ultrasound the Doctor said he/she (it is a surprise) was measuring small.

At my Obgyn appointment last week she said the baby was neither small nor big and should be the same size as my last baby which was 7lbs 8oz.

I am now 28 weeks pregnant and my estimated due date is July 23rd.

Good LUCK and the winner will receive 50% off a fall session with me when I resume working.

Feel Free to ask any questions in the comments below..I will gladly answer. This contest will be open until further notice.

Mothers Day Mini’s ~ Montreal Baby, Child & Family Photographer

mell — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:05:05 +0000

I am so excited to offer these limited edition Mothers day Mini Sessions. But it isn’t limited only to mothers…good for so many occasions, maybe to celebrate a child’s age, how about for some engagement shots, bridals, siblings, oh the possiblities!!

Everyone must know by now that I am expecting our 5th child (yes FIVE!!) and with that I want to squeeze in as many sessions with you as possible before it becomes impossible So what better way to honour motherhood and the miracle of birth by giving all of you a great opportunity!

Of course I do have limited space. The all inclusive fee does need to be paid in full in order for me to secure your spot for that day. I still haven’t decided where I will be shooting, but I do have a few favourite places in mind!

Please read the details below.

Love is in the air ~ Montreal Maternity Photographer

mell — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:25:06 +0000

It is so touching to see a couple so in love, and so sweet to see a man be able to show his affection to his wife. This couple was just wonderful, seriously there is no doubt the love that bonds them together!

I can only imagine how much closer their baby boy will bring them. You are both beautiful inside and out, and I am sure you will make incrediable parents. There is no sweeter gift you can give a child than true love between their parents.

I can’t wait to meet the little one!

Little Muffin in the oven ~ Montreal Maternity Photographer

mell — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 23:59:00 +0000

What a fun session this was….I love when my clients tell me they want anything BUT traditional. It pushes me to see beyond the four walls and really come up with something fun and spontaneous. I think it was a success.

Plus this was done in Ste. Sauveur….and the first time I shot a session outdoors in the winter…I loved it!

I can’t wait to meet your little muffin and see you again, it was such a pleasure working with you!
