CO-ORDINATING MATERNITY & BABY PHOTOS

Connecting with mamas at the stage when their family is just starting or continuing to expand is wonderful for many reasons!! I get to meet them at such an exciting time as they are embarking on a new journey. Expectant moms come to see me when they are between 34-36 weeks. The wardrobe at the studio has been curated to allow us to co-ordinate maternity sessions, so they flow well when moms come in a few weeks later with their gorgeous baby for their newborn session. Keeping items neutral with soft colours really helps to unify a gallery and then allow parents the flexibility to display all their photos together in their homes or create a beautiful album where all the images work together to showcase the most important part of their images….them!!! Here are a few images from Chrissy’s stunning maternity session as well as her beautiful baby boy Ashton.

Book early! To reserve your date for maternity and baby pictures please call Amanda at 250-885-6860.

MATERNITY SESSION – A Westcoast Backdrop

I sometimes wondered how the changeover would go from sunset sessions in the heat of the desert to the rugged Westcoast with a reputation for rain more days of the year than not. I was pleasantly surprised when the month of August gave us more sunny days than rain. For this maternity photo session I met Meghan & Sean at the Esquimalt Lagoon. We had a lovely evening together chatting and walking along the lagoon, casually taking pictures along the way. It was a perfect pace to observe where the sun sets at this time of the year and to talk about the exciting time ahead for them both.

Recently I was reading Daniela Ingals blog post about finding the “perfect” backdrop. She is a lovely newborn and family photographer in Munich, Germany. What we both realized is that there really isn’t a “perfect” backdrop for pictures. It is so much more about the journey of the couples or family we are photographing and about their story in whatever beautiful location we’re able to find along the way. Trees and general greenery provide a perfect filter for the sun here so I’m excited to explore as I go and meet all sorts of wonderful people along the way!

Victoria Newborn Photography – A Rainbow of Hope

As a newborn photographer I have the privilege of capturing precious memories with parents holding their brand new babies. Happy, joyful memories. However, whether a part of our own journey to motherhood or a dear friend we know, there are many who have been affected by the loss of a baby in their lives. For this couple their journey to parenthood was a bumpy one. There have been times of sorrow and of pain. They were so kind to share their story with me and allow me to share it with you. This little darling arrived to show her mom and dad joy. Introducing gorgeous little Ruby <3

Victoria Newborn Baby Photographer

I get asked so many times how we’re able to get images with baby sleeping the whole session!! Truth is, some sessions little ones sleep for a very short amount of time;). We try our best to have parents follow a few helpful hints prior to the session to increase the chances of baby being as sleepy as possible when they arrive to the studio. Bathing baby, having sibling time, tickling toes are just a few but of course keeping a newborn awake can sometimes be a challenge! We also make sure that Mom avoids gassy foods & caffeine if she is breastfeeding (I get it, this is plain mean for a sleep-deprived mama!!). Sometimes she follows all these notes and her little one just wants to party at the studio;). Either way, we make sure that everything is ready to go before our clients arrive. If babe arrives asleep, we can start the session right away which will increase the number of set-ups we’re able to complete. This little guy only had brief sleepy times but we were still able to get a full gallery. Mom chose a white-on-white set up, so perfect to contrast with his beautiful head of hair. And of course a cheeky awake one just for fun!

Beautiful baby Isaac

This gorgeous baby boy!! He was honestly so very good for us and proud big sis made an appearance too. I love how these dreamy colors that mom chose just flow together, neutral with a little splash of baby blue. Scroll a little further down to play his birth announcement, one of the options you can add on to your newborn session. Beautiful baby Isaac ♥

The Haddows have moved!!

Call us crazy, but a few weeks ago we made the move all the way across the world from Abu Dhabi to Victoria, BC, Canada!! I have to admit there’s a little culture shock going on for us all, it will take some getting used to but baby steps…. One of our major concerns was for me to find a studio space in Victoria. The search began a few weeks back with little success and then as fate, luck, kismet (you decide;) would have it I was introduced online through a mutual friend to another photographer here in Victoria! Long story short but she has invited me to share a really fabulous studio space on Yates & Government (you know the corner, it’s right above the Starbucks). Exciting, right?!! A little sooner than anticipated so things will get set up over the course of the summer but I have started booking  clients in from mid-August onwards. If you are interested in booking a maternity, newborn or family photography session with Amanda Haddow Photography please contact for details at 250-885-6860 or email at amandahaddow@gmail.com. Can’t wait to meet you, let this new adventure begin!
