Rollercoaster | Halifax Maternity & Newborn Photographer

A roller coaster.

That is how Leanne and John have described the last 27 weeks and 3 days. In and out of the hospital. Up and down with the bloodpressure. All waiting for Sophie Katherine…..excited to meet her, hoping she’ll come as close to full term as she’s able.

When Leanne contacted me to book her sessions, we originally scheduled the maternity portion for May 23rd. She wasn’t expected to go full term, and wanted to play things safe. That was on April 21st.  Just five days later, I received word that Leanne had been readmitted to the IWK and was worried about not being discharged before the session date. We decided to cross our fingers and play it by ear.  That was the last I had heard, until 2 days ago.  It seemed Sophie was going to make her arrival this weekend! And the mad dash was on….I had to find the time to do this session. I knew it was important to document this part of their 4 year journey.

With a little rescheduling, a little chaos, and the permission of their physicians, John and Leanne were granted an evening pass to come to the studio. As it turns out, things are back on hold, and this strong willed, much wanted and much loved little girl won’t be making her appearance for at least a few more days….I can’t wait to meet you Sophie……and I’m most definitely not the only one ♥
