Megan and Chris | Expecting Sunset Maternity Portraits in Ottawa

This maternity session was special to me because Chris is my cousin! He married Megan last spring, are they’re expecting their first baby this month. I photographed these two for their engagement portraits a couple years ago as well, and I enjoyed their wedding as a guest. It’s been a busy couple years for them as they bought their first house in that time, too!

Early spring is a tricky time of year to take portraits. The leaves haven’t come in yet and if you want a natural location the scenery can look a little dreary. The key is having great light, so I suggested doing sunset maternity portraits on a day when we were sure the skies would be clear. This spring has been wet and cold! It took us a few weekends to get a good forecast, but Chris and Megan were flexible. Wow did we luck out! I’d done some scouting a few days prior and found a spot with great evening light. I am absolutely in love with these maternity pictures.

Chris and Megan, I’m so looking forward to meeting your little boy in a few weeks! Thank you for asking me to be part of capturing this special time in your lives.
