Sometimes waiting till the very last minute to have a maternity photoshoot isn't such a bad idea. Why? Because when it comes time to receive your maternity and newborn photos you have the wonderful opportunity to have them all edited and presented together :)

That's exactly what happened with my beautiful sessions here with lovely mommy, Bhavna! 

We met at a beautiful spot near Saadiyat Island and spent some time making memories of their last trip to the ocean as a family of two, and a few days after, Bhavna went into labor and welcomed her beautiful baby daughter, Aathirah. 

What I love about these maternity and baby photoshoots is the beautiful opportunity to see the before and after transformation that families go through. 

Thank you for this lovely time we spent together! And I can't wait to reunite with you again soon!

Have you ever thought about hiring a photographer while you're on family holidays? I actually love the idea, and loving the fact that more and more families have started contacting me to do that today since the session I blogged last June, (check it out here!)

Roeya and her beautiful family were visiting from Saudi, a sort of baby moon before Roeya's twins make their debut in May. We met on a cloudy, chilly morning this past winter. If you know me, you know I'm a lover of sunshine, so I was a bit disappointed by the lack of sunlight in the sky, HOWEVER, I have to say that we made some beautiful photographs and took full advantage of the beautiful clouds in the sky. We never have clouds in the sky that often in Dubai, so when they make an appearance, we have to snap them up like the paparazzi! 

I can't share all the shots from this session, but this one is my favorite! When nature and the universe conspires with you to document a wonderful moment in time.
