Extreme Family Portrait – Gail’s Maternity

Today’s a good day, lots of new folks are coming to this site via Julie Cole’s blog post on YummyMummyClub and if you’re looking for *my* look at Julie’s family – I wrote about it here.

It’s funny how some things lead to others. I was recommended to Julie by-way of a friend of hers who I had photographed here in Ottawa. Similarly, Gail & Andrew (pictured) – who are now very eagerly anticipating their first child – I first met two years ago on the first Scott Kelby photowalk I lead in Ottawa. You can see them at camera left in this post. Who knew that it would lead to a maternity shoot now?

We shot this near sun-set at a hospital stand-in I’m quite fond of, I then found stock photos of an emergency entrance to composite into the shot (I can’t believe, that I worked at a hospital for 3 years and have no photos to use… granted, the Emerg was under construction that entire time). Props to Lee Mousseau for giving up his Saturday afternoon/evening for the shoot and being a great light-stick holder and stand in.

You can also see this photo larger on Flickr.
