YEG Newborn Photographer | How One Amazing Client Turned Into Three: The Power of Word-of-Mouth

As one of Edmonton’s best and most experienced maternity and newborn photographesr, there’s nothing more rewarding than when a client loves their experience so much that they share it with their friends. That’s exactly what happened with Marnelli — one incredible client who turned into three wonderful families.

Marnelli – A Fresh Start After a Disappointing Experience with An Alberta Newborn Photographer

Marnelli first reached out to me after a frustrating experience booking a “deal” maternity and newborn package elsewhere — only to be left without communication after paying. My heart went out to her, and I knew I wanted to make this special for her.

From the moment she walked into my Edmonton photography studio, Marnelli was pampered with professional hair and makeup and left glowing. Her maternity portraits? In studio and a bit outdoors (just 4 days before Christmas) Absolute fire.

A few weeks later, she returned with her sweet baby boy Matteo. He was calm and snuggly, and watching this family of three together was pure joy. I am always happy to also include grandparents and luckily I was able get some multi generational images for this family as well – so special. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.

But the story doesn’t end there…

From Happy YEG Newborn Photography Client to Biggest Cheerleader

Marnelli didn’t just leave with beautiful images — she left with an experience to remember. She completed my post-session questionnaire, left me a glowing Google review, and the best part? She referred her friend Jonabel!

Jonabel – A Long-Awaited YEG Maternity Session

Jonabel’s story really touched my heart. She missed out on maternity photos with her first baby, who arrived early at just 28 weeks. This time, she wanted to celebrate her pregnancy and capture those once-in-a-lifetime memories with Edmonton maternity portraits.

At her session, I met her husband Marc and their sweet 9-year-old daughter Samantha. When they returned for newborn photos, watching Samantha hold her new baby brother brought me back to my own childhood — when my little brothers were born, and I got to hold them for the first time. It was such a nostalgic and heartwarming moment.

And guess what? They referred me too.

Cory – The Ripple Continues Another Maternity and Newborn Session

That’s how I met Cory and her beautiful family. We did their maternity session, and I was instantly smitten with their little girls — Mary Lou (1) with her constant smiles and Felicity (3), who was so gentle and sweet with her little sister. I can’t wait to welcome them back when their baby arrives in August!

Why Referrals Mean Everything

When you tell your friends about your experience, you’re giving me the greatest compliment possible. This is why I’ve built my sessions to be more than just “photo shoots.” I create a luxurious experience — one that prioritizes mom, helps her feel calm, relaxed, and beautiful, and turns this milestone into a memory worth cherishing.

Whether you’re looking for Edmonton newborn portraits or searching for an Alberta newborn photographer who can make your session truly special, my goal is to create timeless images in a warm and stress-free environment.

To Marnelli, Jonabel, and Cory — thank you for trusting me. Your referrals mean the world.
