I have spent the weekend in #banff spoiling & photographing many gorgeous mamas with @s.kaymakeupartistry and it was glorious. The weather kept me on my toes but that’s part of the fun Hair & Makeup @s.kaymakeupartistry Gown - @chicaboo_

Spring IS here. It may not feel like it all the time but it is. The trees are budding. The grass is green now, thanks to the snow. And the babies are coming full tilt it’s pretty perfect.

I’m still here, I swear. But I stepped away a bit so I can continue to still be here, because the world is heavy and carrying the weight of a full time working full time mom in a full time pandemic is a heavy load. Thanks for being here with me, though ... Shoutout to this absolute babe who let me work my artistic ideas out on her the other night. I have the best clients ever.

Really feeling the dark gowns lately I guess. Wonder what’s up with that? Gown by @kartay_photographyprops (you’ll have so much content when you’re back from Mat leave ) Hair & Makeup by none other than the incredibly talented @s.kaymakeupartistry

So this darling from last week stole my heart, obvs. Could she BE any cuter? I love her and her this matching footie sleeper + bonnet

As if she could look anymore like a real life doll just all wrapped up so sweet. Wrap by @oliveandlaceprops

In case no one has told you today, you are strong. You are capable. You CAN do hard things, because here you are, doing them despite it all. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Don’t let you tell you otherwise.

So obviously I couldn’t not use that blue floral mattress & MATCHING PILLOW with this beyond perfect little darling today. Dudes. I. HAVE. THE. BEST. JOB. EVARR. Mattress + Pillow Set & Tieback - @oliveandlaceprops Wrap - @sugarbabyphotoprops

I have an update for SPRING & SUMMER availability but the ‘gram doesn’t like those words and won’t show my post to anyone so I’m going to use CODE TERMS instead so best of luck MAY - 3 rendezvous JUNE - 2 trysts JULY - 2 blind dates AUGUST - 2 scheduled encounters ... Let’s hope this doesn’t go over like a lead balloon

This babe was an absolute dreamboat. So was his sister. The irony is all the babies and siblings are absolute dreamboats. Even the toddlers.

Hi, friends. I’m feeling called to share this tool today. It’s a hotline for pregnancy and infant loss support. It’s an inclusive centre for support through your journey. You’re never as alone as you may sometimes feel.

I went to bed at 7 last night and can’t tell if it’s a good or bad thing but I woke up 12 hours later after sleeping like this adorable little dude here. Still though, send coffee. Always.

Last one, I promise. No I don’t. Just want to sing the praises of this incredible makeup artist who makes my clients feel like a million bucks, when I hear so often once I meet with them how GOOD it feels to get done up after a year of being home with nothing to get done up for. She does a stunning job, she’s a lovely human on top of that, and she knows the struggles of motherhood so she makes a good ear to listen. @s.kaymakeupartistry you are AWESOME. ... Custom made gown - @kartay_photographyprops

These colours make me swoon but not as hard as this sweet little doll. She was so cuddly and precious. I know I say that every time but honestly. It’s true!

So I got to try out that new red dress with this stunning human being.... the top can be worn a bunch of ways and I’m beyond in love. HMU - @s.kaymakeupartistry Gown - @kartay_photographyprops

Today is my daughter’s birthday! I’m officially out of the office and on holidays until the 29th so will return any messages then. Have a happy holiday and make the most of the ones you’re with

Look at this adorable little micro human in my new hammock prop. Is there even anything more adorable? I’m not sure. I can’t even handle it.

This Goddess, standing in her light. Full of strength. Brimming with power. Surrounded in love. ... HMU- @s.kaymakeupartistry Custom Gown - @kartay_photographyprops

Spring due date people, this is what you have to look forward to. I’ve been saving this one for a snowy day and it’s snowing here now so I’m using it.

Hello, friends. I’ll be out of the office for a few days on a personal matter. Thank you for your understanding.Hello, friends. I’ll be out of the office for a few days on a personal matter. Thank you for your understanding.

I’ve been waiting to use this colour for so long, and he even gave me a half smile because he was so jazzed about it himself

So I know I’ve been sharing a lot of maternity lately......... But it’s just so goooood. This girl was stunning last weekend in the water in DECEMBER

I have quite a few of these sessions in the next little bit and I’m so over the top excited to create. Till then Ill swoon over this beauty Hair & Makeup - @s.kaymakeupartistry Hair Magic - @vennahair_marla

Who remembers the original? Well... I recreated it purely by accident and it was a glorious oopsie. Makeup - @s.kaymakeupartistry

I wanted to say T H A N K Y O U with this post. I’m so grateful for the folks who book me, the businesses who trust me to spoil their employees (and their employees babies), the folks who trust me with their firstborns (in a pandemic) and the folks who love my photos and show it even when they’re not going to have any more babies I am so grateful for the love, support, trust and joy that you give me every single day. October I had nothing but bookings of repeat clients bringing me their second and third babies and it made my heart explode. Thank you for trusting me with your most precious joys.

Only going to talk about the C word right here and that’s it so bear with me.....A question I’m getting lately is what happens if someone books a session & we go into another lockdown, super valid in these upside down times. So simply put, nothing! We go with the flow. What else is there? Last time we locked down clients brought me their sweet darlings who were anywhere between 1-2 months old after it was lifted and we just did the session then. It’s not the prime window; i...t makes me have to work to get babe to sleep more, the session might take a little longer because of that but that’s it. Safety protocol is always in place. Newborn safety & studio cleanliness were paramount before the Covid-19 pandemic and they’ll remain that way long after this is ends. That being said, here’s my availability for the next few months December - 1 spot January - 1 spot February - 2 spots March - 1 spot April - 3 spots

These cool kids were an absolute blast to hang out with right before the snow hit! They brought more outfits to the session than I did I C A N N O T wait to meet their sweet little Light in a few weeks

UPDATE - there are only 2 spots left for this event http://www.laceandlocketphoto.com/mountain-limited-sessions Reserve one of them today and this could be you, a kick ass mama treating herself to feeling I N C R E D I B L E before babe arrives

Is anyone else getting whip lash from the weather? No? Just me....cool cool cool cool cool. This darling is not bothered by it.

Oldest Child came downstairs and told me she found my business on Google and wanted to support me so she left me a 5 star review under her dad’s name so that looks great but it’s SOOOO cute I can’t even handle it. The fact she knows how to support local business at 8 years old means I must be doing SOMETHING right, right?! I had to push out an 8lb baby on Christmas, drug-free for this review
