Maternity in the morning
The first time I met Iris was at a small coffee shop in Hamilton. When she walked in, I noticed was her smile, this gal is seriously gorgeous. I could not wait to do a shoot with her.
She answered an add I posted looking for women willing to be photographed in the great outdoors. I was looking for regular women who love being outside. Iris answered with abundant enthusiasm and a caveat, she was five months pregnant. With twins. I was concerned at first because the shoot would involve a bit of a hike, and an early morning. Not only was Iris enthusiastic, she met me with a set of glam outfit changes, ready to roll. Never in all my shooting days have I been so nervous. I was taking a very pregnant woman hiking.
Turns out, I got schooled. Not only did she know how to pose, she pushed to go try different locations. To say I was humbled doesn't cut it. Iris has since given birth to two beautiful babies, and is working on getting enough sleep.
