Maternity Photos in Dingle Park a la Alice in Paris!

As you may have gathered from my teaser post earlier today, I had the absolute pleasure of spending Saturday morning with Shelagh who honoured me in using me as a subject in applying her artistic talents on this mama to be.  I was beyond thrilled to be given the opportunity!  We had a beautiful most summeresque weekend upon us in Halifax and we chose to do the photos as the Sir Sanford Fleming Park (better known as Dingle Park) on the Northwest Arm.  I will forever swoon my love for this beautiful province and city of Halifax and I love living here.  It couldn’t have been more perfect.  In fact Shelagh kept saying that it the setting resembled somewhere in the south of France!  Angie in Paris?  :-)

Well known for her beautiful folk art and amongst the local Twitter community with her enthusiasm and community involvement with the Halifax Chicks, I couldn’t be more pleased with her talents behind the lens as well.  It was difficult to pick just a few to share with you, but I did my best to pick out a few of my favourites!

These were my first pair of walking shoes as you may have gathered from the scuffed toes!  The peanut gets especially active when I lie down and during this photo, s/he was actually making the shoes dance on my belly and I laughed out loud :-)

Do you think I look pregnant at all here? lol

Thank you Shelagh!

The husband unfortunately could not participate as he was up to his ears in nursery renovations on limited time, but we do have a photo shoot pending for next weekend with a photographer in my home town which I “might” be able to convince him to allow me to include him on the blog in due course.  We shall see :-)

Wow, you are so beautiful and extremely photogenic.
I would love to look like you if I were preggers!
Did you do your own makeup and hair?(both so so pretty!)

I am not exaggerating when I say you look like you could be in a magazine !

And nothing more gorgeous than nature as background.

Kudos to your talented photographer too....

Hi Angie.

I have been reading your blog for a couple of years now. You REALLY are such an inspiration to me on so many levels. I am trying really hard to lose weight & look to you often for ideas regarding what to eat & how to make exercise fun.
Also, you give me hope on another level. I was diagnosed with PCOS in February & I freaked out about it. It is much harder for me to lose weight because of it, & having kids has always been a HUGE goal of mine. I was worried that I couldn't. Then I clicked onto your site & saw that YOU WERE PREGNANT & YOU HAD PCOS. I actually cried.

Thank you so much. You are such a beautiful person - inside & out. I'm really happy for you & the hubby about your bubba! You must be so happy & excited.

This is my first comment on your blog...I'm a true blue lurker.

Lots of love,
Heather x

Hi Angie,

Indeed, you really looked so stunning in gorgeous in your pictures. I can really see such a glow in your face and you seem to be really happy and excited in becoming a new mommy now. And also the scenery looks so heavenly. Parks are created for us to relax and unwind from all the stress here in the city. it is also the most convenient and accessible way of a total relaxation. In my hometown in Denver, Colorado, parks there are made not just for total relaxation but also Denver Colorado parks and recreation are made for families and friends to have their total bonding experience.
