Alyssa and Steven are a expecting a new addition to the family so it was perfect timing to get some maternity photos along with some beautiful portraits of the two of them. Alyssa had the great idea of doing the mini session up on Mount McKay, along the trail that leads to Crescent Lake.

After driving down the trail a short distance, we parked our cars and set up along the trail. The fall colours were still in abundance and it looked so beautiful, so I knew it would be hard to capture some great photos. Plus, Alyssa and Steven looked so good.

It was my first time photographing Alyssa and Steven but they made it very easy on me because they were complete naturals in front of the camera. We spent about 20 minutes on the trail, and then I suggested that we get a few quick photos by the entrance to Mount McKay were I just recently learned there was a beautiful swing hanging from a tree. One of my favourite photos from the session was Alyssa and Steven by the swing.

I also noticed a nice field with high grass off to the side, so we finished up with some awesome backlit photos there. Even though it was a 30 minute session, it really felt like an hour because we came away with so many great photos. Thanks as always to Alyssa and Steven for a memorable fall photo session.
