I was in Vancouver last week and while there I met up with Melissa and Chris for a maternity session. We hit one of my all-time favorite places Granville Island  - the colors and shapes give you so much to work with.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to photograph these two. They had a maternity session scheduled with us and  had to cancel as they needed to be near Children's Hospital to have their baby. So when I was in Vancouver I was happy we were able to connect.  They are a loving, kind, couple who despite the stress they are facing have maintained incredible grace and a sense of humour.

Melissa and Chris, you are amazing, you are are reminder to me of how amazing my job is.

As for the photos, they are a stunning couple and were super comfortable in front of the camera. Melissa skin is just radiant (photographers notice these type of things,) and her belly bump is beautiful.

Melissa and Chris are another example of how Y.A.N.A. continues to support the people in our community.

 Next year when I am in Vancouver I am thinking of booking a few Granville Island Sessions - it is a really inspired place to shoot!
