VANCOUVER — In Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic, “Alien,” the crew of the Nostromo begin a voyage unknowingly carrying a new being along with them. Thirty-nine years later, Todd and Nicole Cameron of Nanaimo, B.C., drew inspiration from the film to tell their friends and family that they too will embark on a voyage with a new being.

On the rainy afternoon of Sept. 20, Nicole Cameron donned a dreamy, peach-coloured chiffon dress that showed off her eight-and-a-half-month baby belly, while her husband wore an off-white sweater and a paternal expression to pose in a pumpkin patch for their photographer, Li Carter.

A few photos in, Nicole Cameron’s expression changed to one of pain. She lay in the pumpkin patch, splattered in mud, as a life form tore through her stomach.

It was the creature from “Alien.”

“Over the summer Nicole had been talking about this baby inside her and how it was so weird to see it moving and she could feel its elbows and feet, hands moving all around her,” Todd Cameron said.
