I recently had the privilege to make some photos for my cousin, Mel. She asked me if I could do some maternity portraits of her with her second baby, and of course I said, "sure!". It has been an honour to photograph both of Mel's pregnancies, and to watch the little human that first appeared in a fuzzy ultrasound photo grow to become an active, energetic four year old has been quite amazing.

In October of 2016, Mel announced her new bundle with an announcement photoshoot, and Ava was happy to play the roll of 'Big Sister', a roll that I'm certain she will excel at when the new member of the family arrives... any time now.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, I'd like to wish Melissa a Happy Mother's Day... and a speedy delivery!

...and thanks for letting me document these very special moments for you!
