Hiba and Peter are expecting their first baby in November, and they wanted to have some photographs to remember this point in their lives, but didn’t want them to be your “typical” maternity photos. They decided that a chic portrait session in downtown Ottawa — that just happened to include a baby bump — was the way to go.

We met on a weeknight and timed our photos with the sunset, which didn’t disappoint. Together, the two of them laughed and hugged through the whole session, but man can these two pull out the sultry model expressions when asked! Hiba is a photographer too, but it had been a while since she’d been in front of the camera. Like many pregnant women, she was a little self-conscious about her changing body. Hiba, I hope these photos prove to you that you are rockin’ the pregnancy look! I can’t wait to meet your new family member, but until then, enjoy the rest of your time just the two of you!

See what I meant about the sultry? Man! Love this one.
