Kamloops Photographer - XO CAPTURES | Beauty Portraiture 2015 | Model -Ali Hanney

Had a great time adventuring into the snowy wild with Model Ali Hanney - well that might be a bit of an exaggeration as it wasn't really "wild" per say. But we hung out at an icy waterfall took some beautiful photos drinking one of my favourite teas. { Fantasy Island- from David's tea } I have decided that a Thermos of hot tea is a must for all winter shoots ;) And we even had some nice warm sunshine. 

This time last year was my first time working with Ali and I captured some of my favourite images. This time around it wasn't snowing but I think we captured some awesome shots, a few that I will be adding to my personal favourites. 
It's always a pleasure working with Ali, she's up for pretty much anything, is easy going and everything just flows so well during our shoots. 
So here are some beautiful shots of a beautiful woman freezing her tush off for me a second time ;) 
( It wasn't actually too cold that day, unless you're standing half naked directly in front of a half frozen waterfall getting sprayed with icy cool beads of water. Thanks Ali)

Kamloops Maternity Photographer - XO CAPTURES | Winter Maternity 2015

You wouldn't guess this gorgeous Mama is due next month. She looks amazing for 34 weeks!

So when we scheduled this session last week I was hoping for a little bit of snow to fall. It was in the forecast and there wasn't any on the ground at that time.  So I got what I asked for - and it was a "be careful what you wish for"moment for me. Because that was not what I had in mind when I was wishing for a "bit" of snow! So we not only had to change locations the night before but after getting my vehicle all cleared off and dug out of the snow I back out into the cul-de-sac and get stuck! How embarrassing! So then for the first time ever I was the one to have to reschedule - which I still feel bad about. Lucky for me as I'm out there swearing under my breath a few of my neighbours who had been watching joined me and helped get me back into my parking spot.

So the next day staying at my Aunt and Uncles I was able to walk to the location as the ploughs had yet to clear the roads. So I set out to meet up with this lovely expectant couple who despite the rain made the best of it and totally rocked it. This Mama was never without a smile and she was trudging around in snow up to her knees - literally! I had a hard time myself so imagine doing it 8 months preggers! I give her so much credit for getting out there and just embracing it for what it was. She deserves a cookie and a gold star ;) This was my first session of 2015 and it was definitely one to remember! Congratulations to you both and all the best with your new adventures in parenthood, may 2015 be your best year yet!
