Government House Maternity portraits on film

A maternity portrait of a mother holding her pregnant belly while surrounded by pink flowers and greenery at Government House in Victoria BC. The photo is created with 35mm film photography.

I’ve been working more and more with analog film photography, offering people the choice of film, digital or a combination of both. Because there’s a certain romantic nostalgia that’s inherent with old-fashioned analog, I was so happy Lindsey and her family wanted to have their maternity portraits 100% on film. For this session I used two types of film stock: Kodak Portra 400 35mm and Fuji 400h 120mm, and I loved that the Victoria BC Government House backdrops and quality of light gave such a pastel feel to these photos without any editing! I also loved getting a chance to photograph a very sweet big-brother-to-be.
