We had a spashing time!

This little man was only 10 days old when he came into the studio with mom and dad.  One thing is for sure, he knew how to make a real splash.  Even though this happens at just about every session in one way or another, it isn't always captured.  Sometimes you just know it is happening but you can't see it and you hope that it is just wet. 

At least at this age it is pretty much just water.

Love the images with a parent and their new baby.

Thanks for stopping by.

This little one is now 6 months

Okay, you can't tell from these images, but she was so not having a good time during her session.  Now with that being said, I was making headway with my comedy act because she is clearly killing herself laughing at my Dora and Boots jokes.

9 months again

I got to photography this little beauty again today for her 9 month session.  Her sister had a similar session back in 2008 and we attempted to repeat a few of the images.

6lb 9oz of Sweetness

Here is the joy of my day yesterday.  What a little doll he was and did an amazing job as we moved him around and changed things up on him.  I am really looking forward to producing these images for this lovely couple and their precious baby boy.

She is now 10 months

Got to love this child's head of hair.  At 10 months we could actually put it up in a bun!

Darling little girls

I just love to photograph this family.  There is a large print on my table of this family back when their oldest daughter was about 9 months old.  They will get stopped in the park and people have asked them if I am their photographer as they recognize their daughter.  She is a doll and now she has a mini-me of herself.  Here they are.

Rub a dub dub.

I just loved this image when I took it.  The backdrop had such a fun colour to it and I just had to play with it.  It reminded me of rain and water so I brought in other elements to enhance what I saw.

Have a great day!

Bella is 6 months old now.

I get so excited when I am going to see a baby on my first year program.  I can see the baby features from when they were newborn and how their eyes have gotten so big and round.  I can enjoy all of the stories of how they are growing and what they have been up to and it is all so exciting for me.  I am finished growing my own family but it feels like I still get to participate in the growth of my client's families.  I enjoy it too when they come back with a new sibling that is joining the family.  This little sweetheart is the first baby for this family, but a cousin to two other clients all who had their babies within a couple of months of each other.  The grandparents are so proud.

This little doll is 6 months old and it was so delightful to see this family again.

Thanks for checking in.

I just can't get enough of this bundle of pure Joy.

Little Mr. R is such a delight.  One the happiest babies I have had the wonderful fortune to photograph.  A little over a year now, he has grown so much since I first met him when he was only about 5 months old.   He smiles constantly.

I was so excited to see little Miss. M and when I opened the door I had to stop and stare for a moment.  Now 3 years old, I could still see that beautiful baby face that I photographed when she was nearly 6 months.  She was coming to introduce me to her new little brother who reminded me of her a lot.  Here is what she looked like when I first met her.

 

Such a little doll.  I love the left hand slightly reaching out like a real fairly princess.

Now she has this beautiful baby brother and she is a very sweet older sister.

 

Such a little doll.  I love the left hand slightly reaching out like a real fairly princess.

And look at this little ball of joy!  It was so great to see everyone and catch up on how everyone is doing.

When I was going through the images I realized that Little M had been in this tutu before!  I didn't even realize when we put her in it for fun.

Little Boys

I love the inspiration and the challenge that each new child brings to me.  Each child has a unique personality that becomes my source of energy that determines for how I will capture who they are and ultimately what we will end up getting out of the session.  This mom was an inspiration all by herself.  Two boys, aged 3 and 2 who were full of energy and playfulness, and a newborn brother, not even 2 weeks old.  I thought I was doing well with 2 children - 16 months apart.  I see now that I had no idea.

The Firefighter and his family...6 months later

Do you remember this stunning couple?  I couldn't wait to see Baby A sitting up and moving all around.  What a doll with the most captivating blue eyes!  She is such a happy baby and it was wonderful to catch up with them and see how everyone is doing.  I love my job!
