As I drove to this evening maternity session the rain fell and the sky overhead was ominous. I arrived about 15 minutes early and sat staring at the radar app on my phone willing the rain to stop. The day had been gorgeous but the heat meant a brief unexpected storm passed through the city just after dinner. Our session was scheduled to start at 7:30 pm and at 7:28 the rain stopped and the gorgeous sky came into view. I’m so glad we took the chance that we might have to reschedule because the sunset that night was absolutely stunning.
This beautiful location on the Ottawa river has a special meaning to this mom and dad to-be and it made the perfect backdrop for their maternity session. After spending 3 weeks on the ocean, I was happy to be back on the water and loved the challenge of shooting a session as the sun fell quickly behind the skyline. We waited until the last of the light disappeared because of the colours were rich, vibrant, and definitely worth waiting for.
