Maternity Shoot Monica

Just about two weeks ago, we did a maternity photo session with Monica. Some of you may know her, or recognize from a previous shoot about 2 years ago.. Mark, boyfriend at the time, is now her husband, and they're expecting their first baby in June. In the weeks leading to the shoot, we talked a couple of times to discuss what kind of pictures she likes and wanted, which helped a lot when we started taking pictures. It was really cold and rainy that day, so going outside for pictures was out of the question, we kept to the living room, which was transformed into a home studio for part of the session.

We asked Mark to join Monica for some pictures as well, to show their bond.. their being a family already even before the baby is born..With the Canadians being in the play-offs and especially Mark being a fervent Habs fan, the little Habs shoes made their guest appearance..
Now after the shoot, and pictures in hand (and soon on the wall), Monica is continuing the wait.. and I'm sure they're getting impatient to meet their baby.. and from that moment the pregnancy will be as good as forgotten.. except for these pictures...

Published in the National Post

One of my pictures made it in last weekend's National Post, a national newspaper in Canada. The article by Nathalie Atkinson talks about the independent fashion designer Veronica Reis. The pictures we took of Veronica's dresses date back to September, but she has recently received more recognition and exposure on her work in the media, online and this weekend also in print.
The picture that is shown in the article features the dress 'Green apple of my eye' - which was recently also featured on the home page of Etsy. The model is Marie-Eve Lamour and make-up was done by Christma Nathali. You can see more pictures of the shoot in the studio gallery

Some more fashion work is brewing, and hope to share more in the summer!
