Rewind to autumn with this Canadian engagement-meets-family-meets-maternity session

All photos by Samantha Clarke Photography.

Not so long ago, temperatures were significantly warmer in much of the Northern hemisphere. Like, warm enough to wear a dress WITHOUT A COAT, if that’s your thing. Since those days are gone and it sometimes seems like winter will never release its icy grip (see also: I live in the Pacific Northwest), this sunny family portrait session from Samantha Clarke Photography seems like just the thing to warm your cold, bitter bones. PLUS: the photos are doubling (tripling?) as a maternity AND engagement session, since this family is getting ready to welcome a new member and planning a wedding this year!

Steve and Traceen are waiting until the birth to find out the sex of their baby, and are super duper smiley about it. Yay, surprises!

I have to say FIVE STARS to the digital fam. Also, lookit: the subjects become the photographers… of themselves!

  1. So cute! I think it’s funny that photographers/websites will tell you not to wear patterns for portraits, but often it actually ends up looking so good! The stripes on beautiful mama here look especially great.

    • DUDE! Totally agree with this! As a photographer, I tell people to wear clothes they love, because they know how they look and feel on their body. I am a big fan of patterns personally. 🙂
