When you’re just days away from welcoming a new baby, a traditional maternity photo shoot might not be at the top of your to-do list. For one couple, however, the experience turned into a delightful and funny adventure, thanks to a little creativity and a lot of humor.
The Inspiration Behind the Concept
Todd Cameron, the mastermind behind this unconventional shoot, shared his inspiration. After discovering an Alien Chestburster model at a garage sale, he decided to create a unique maternity photoshoot that would stand out. He carefully assembled and painted the model, envisioning a playful storyline that included props like a carved alien pod pumpkin. Meanwhile, his wife, Nicole, took charge of sourcing their outrageous costumes.
A Shared Love for Halloween
This couple has a long-standing love for Halloween and costumes, having met during the spooky season. They enjoy crafting elaborate costumes and go all out with their Halloween decorations. For them, this shoot was not just a fun celebration but also a chance to share their quirky sense of humor with others.
Embracing the Absurdity
Despite the chilly and muddy conditions of the pumpkin patch, Todd reported that the photo session was a blast. They spent about an hour laughing at the absurdity of the scene, all while hoping that farm employees wouldn’t spot them covered in faux blood.
The Perfect Photographer
The couple’s photographer, Li Carter, was the perfect fit for their vision. Based in Nanaimo, BC, Li is known for capturing a wide range of events, from weddings to cosplay gatherings. As a friend of Todd and Nicole, she had previously worked with them on various fun projects, including Todd’s “The Big Lebowski” themed 40th birthday and their whimsical “Enchantment Under The Sea” wedding. Her laid-back approach and creativity made her the ideal choice for this unique maternity shoot.
