Come along with us as we take you through beautiful Mama Mika’s maternity session, and her adorable baby newborn session a few weeks later! It was such an honour for us to meet Mika’s little one after photographing her mama’s gorgeous belly earlier this year.

We started building our custom maternity gown closet several years ago, and have slowly added to the collection, bringing on different designers ranging from local designers to international brands. In the maternity session that Mika chose, we were able to include a few outfit changes and offered her our exclusive gown collection, including designers Katharina Hakaj Couture, Annahandbridal, Amy Corneau Couture. On top of that, Mika also brought a couple of her very own hand-made creations!
This gorgeous pink dress is Mika’s very own creation! She made these matching pink ‘mommy and me’ dresses for herself and her daughter. We love watching clients incorporate their own personal touches in their portrait sessions.


This beautiful black sheer ruffle dress is by designer Katharina Hakaj Couture, a brand known for their unique handcrafted gowns for Maternity, Mommy & Me, and other milestone occasions.


This lovely ruffled creamy peach dress is by Annahandbridal who has a stunning collection featured on Etsy. We love choosing different designers who come from all over the globe, to ensure that we are capturing a multitude of style options for all of our expecting mothers.



If you’re looking for something unique, don’t worry! We are always adding new styles to our collection, including bodysuits, fitted dresses, and infinity-style dresses that range in a variety of colours, lengths, and sizes. Our main goal is to ensure that we have a full range of outfit options, so that there is something beautiful for every mama and mama-to-be! We want the experience to be as effortless as possible for our clients.

For more looks and inspiration for your upcoming shoot, you can check out our custom maternity gown closet here. We currently have over fifty – yes fifty! – different maternity gowns, tutus, and outfits in a variety of colours, fabrics, and sizes for our client’s to use in their maternity or newborn sessions.

A few weeks after Mika’s maternity session, she booked her newborn session and included the whole family! How special! For added convenience, all of our newborn sessions include feeding time, changing, and rocking your baby to sleep. They also include at least one setup and use of studio props.



Mika was even able to choose another gown for this session. As Mika wanted to include her other children, husband, and even her doggies, she chose one of our ‘Baby’s First Year’ packages, which included all of this! These inclusive sessions allow you to bring multiple subjects, incorporating siblings, grandparents, first time parents and other family members, and of course your furry friends!



It is always such a joy to see our lovely clients come back for different sessions and to watch their little families grow!
