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.

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!

Night Scenes

Tonight I wanted to play with a new softbox I purchased this week and I really love it.  If you are interested in an evening light session, these are the types of images that I will be trying to capture for you.

This type of session is suited to families with children over the age of 5 or 6 as it is later in the evening and younger children usually don't last very long.  Also, we have to work rather quickly because the light is fading rapidly and the older children are better able to hold a pose so that we can capture everything quickly.

We shot these images between 7:15pm and 8:15pm tonight.

If you think you might like to have an evening session, give me a call or send me an email.

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.

That was quick.

This lovely family was back for the return visit within a couple of weeks.  The baby had arrived and he joins his brother in making mom and dad very proud parents.  Congratulations everyone!

Session Number 2 for Little Mr. R

This has to be one of the happiest babies.  He is always smiling and I just love seeing him.  He has the whole session thing down now and he is ready to jump in as soon as he arrives.  We were changing up the hats and he was at that stage where he was starting to crawl away when we would sit him down.  Just as I would get everything set, we would plunk him down and he would start to take off.  Only one solution to a moving baby...Cheerios!  Yes, he got his first Cheerios from me.  It was a special moment. 

I remember the day my daughter got her first Cheerios.  I took pictures, but you likely would have guessed that.  Big eyes wide with the excitement of putting this somewhat flavorless item in their mouth and having it melt away.  Once they get one, you have to have a small container full on hand.

Yep, that is a Cheerio he has in his hand.

He is just such a happy baby.

You guessed it, more Cheerios.

I just love this little back image.  It is on the back cover of his album.

 

Again, just sooo happy!

  

I love this one and he just looks so cute in this hat!

 

I just love the way the red shows up on the black!  He is so easy to put a hat on!  Some babies get their hands up there so quick and pull it right off but he is happy as can be.

 

And here with his beautiful mom!

Guy is ready to give 110%

I got to meet Guy Buchanan recently when he came to me to create some headshots for his real estate portfolio.   Guy is an energetic and fun person and he was great to interact with.  He had a wonderful story about how he met his beautiful wife and I hope that they will be back to photograph their family in the future. 
Guy has some great ideas about how to start his career in real estate and with his energy and innovation I am going to watch for his signs around town!

I met this lovely family when they came to allow me the honour of photographing their newborn son but I had the added pleasure of meeting their daughter who was a doll to have fun with.  She just loved the big teddy bear and gave him some great big bear hugs.  Kids at this age are unpredictable and full of energy and that is what makes photographing them so much fun.  My job is never the same on any given day and I would not have it any other way!

I had posted a few of these photos on Facebook but just noticed that I had not posted any here so I thought I would love to share them with you.

Thanks for stopping by.

My Practice Models

I was really looking forward to a one year photo session with little Maya who I have had the pleasure of photographing from her time in her mom's tumming, and right through to 9 months.  She was not feeliing well yesterday morning so we decided to make use of the time by letting my kids have some fun with the new backdrops I had picked up.  Josh got into his Tux.  That was the best $60 I have EVER spent on children's clothing.  I purchased it when he was 2 for my sister's wedding but they only had a size 4 so I had to take it up quite a bit.  Then, when he was 4, I let it down a bit.  He has worn it to his nursery school graduation, Christmas concerts, dress up events and now even for a photo session with mom.  Now at age 6 it is starting to look like he won't get much more time out of it but it has been great to have.
