Though I’m waaay behind on my blogging, it’s not because I’ve been idle…

I’ve been having so, so much fun with Hollywood maternity shoots, I can’t tell you. While I still have tweeks and twists to work out, I love the direction in which they are going. They are fun and sassy and also trés, trés chic, custom-made for the woman who yearns to live the life of a Hollywood movie star for a few precious hours.

Our pricing for our new Hollywood Maternity shoots is $799 all inclusive. This is for hair, makeup, wardrobe, session fee, and then ten of approximately 15 sumptuous images in a custom-made brocade book.

Meet Ms S, who was heavily gravid and due in just one week–some 6 or so weeks after we might usually capture maternity pix. She had absolutely stunning bone structure, and the camera loved her.

When I was in Toronto recently, I stopped by the Vanity Fair photography exhibit at the ROM to see work by artists such as Edward Steichen, George Hurrell, and Nickolas Muray; it couldn’t have been better timed considering my abiding fascination with replicating the look captured in early photographs of Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo and their contemporaries in motion pictures.

This stunning mom-to-be, who was extremely striking, came to Jane Photo for another of our first Hollywood maternities.

Meet Ms P…she was brave enough to go where no one has trodden before, all the way back in time to the 40s in Hollywood when George Hurrell was working his magic with starlets. These are not your usual maternity photographs! Aren’t they just too, too gorgeous? ‘Course, it helps when you are as stunning as Ms P. She was sooo beautiful that she made my job easy.

Jane Photo is now offering Hollywood Maternity sessions, so if you want a session unlike anything else, please do get in touch!

As always, please feed the hungry in Vancouver by leaving your comments below; each one gives the Food Bank $1 towards groceries for the needy.

Congrats, everyone! It’s a new monthly record! With $175, the Food Bank can purchase $450 worth of food. That’s a substantial help to some family’s food bill–and probably a good help in sending well-nourished kids off to a new school year.

And just because…here’s a gorgeous woman posing in the Hollywood style for your viewing pleasure. This is Ms J.

These three gorgeous gals are my nieces, Ms J, Ms K and Ms N. Recently, we decided to have their hair and makeup done and pull out the tickle trunk and see what madness we could come up with. And much madness ensued, but it was a total hoot. And sooo productive. Aren’t these scrumptious?

As always, please post a comment below, and have your friends post comments too, because each comment in 2009 is worth $1 to Vancouver’s Food Bank. Help the needy!
