I was in photographer’s heaven when little Evan and Lauren showed up at my house…. as soon as I saw Evan’s curly red hair and Lauren’s sweet, gorgeous face, I knew we would have a great session. It was so funny because little Lauren had started sticking her tongue out recently and we were calling her a little lizard during her photo session. As quickly as her Mommy tried to stick it back in her mouth, it would pop right out! So sweet! It also took me a long time to get smiles from Little Lauren. She was being so serious. However, once I discovered that if I jiggled her bum she couldn’t stop laughing, I had so many smiles. And it worked every single time! Evan loved playing outside and I was so happy it cleared up for us to get some photos out in my backyard. This session was a surprise Mother’s Day gift bought by Evan and Lauren’s Daddy… how incredibly thoughtful! Janine and Mark, it was so wonderful meeting you. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
I think I am still laughing from my session with sweet baby Jane. Most of the sessions begin with baby being fed to get a nice, full belly. Then we wait for baby to fall into a nice, deep sleep. Jane was a little stubborn at first but then finally drifted off for a long nap. And I might add was an amazing sleeper! At the end of the session, I didn’t want to wake her up. However, the explosion of poop all over Daddy definitely seemed like the perfect point to stop! Little Janie definitely broke her Mommy and Daddy into parenthood during her first photo shoot. You have to check out her Mommy’s blog too! Be ready to laugh a lot!!! Thank you, Jen, for those sweet words about my photography too! I saw a snippet of one of your posts where you were crying over Jane’s lanugo and I immediately thought of the tushie shot I took of Jane. It is one of my favorite newborn photos ever… and shows off her fuzziness so beautifully. I am sure it will be one you treasure forever! Jen and Dan, I had a such a wonderful morning getting to know you both so much better. Jane is so precious. I just adore that full head of hair she has! I hope you all had a wonderful bath when you got home 
This was such a special session for me. Claire’s Mommy was someone who discovered my photography almost 2 years ago and had me photograph two of her friend’s newborns. I really feel like she helped spread the word about me and my photography. So, when I heard she was expecting I couldn’t wait for it to be her turn this time. Claire was such a sweet tiny girl! And the first born, a fur baby named Julia, came along for the session too! They are all such a wonderful little family now. Some special things about this session was the hat Claire is wearing. She was so small when she was born that her Grandma had to make a hat to fit her. Also, there is one photo where she is wearing a Christening gown that has been in the family for at least 95 years. Embroidered on the hem of the dress are the names of every baby who has worn the gown. I think that is one of the most special family traditions I have ever heard! How amazing and what a keepsake. Jody and Andrew, I am so happy for you. Claire is so precious and I am so glad we finally got to meet after all this time!
I know Ava’s parents have probably been anxiously awaiting a sneak peek of her session and I hope the wait has been worth it! Ava came for her session when she was 3 weeks old and although she didn’t want to fall asleep and miss out on a single thing she finally succumbed to sleep and was a complete angel for me. Once she nodded off, she was content to just sleep the whole morning away and was easily moved from bean bag to basket. I had such a great time chatting with Ava’s Mommy and it is very clear that she is already wrapped around her parents’ finger. And no wonder why! She is absolutely gorgeous and breath-taking. These photos will be a surprise for her Daddy since he couldn’t make our session. Marcel and Angela, I hope you enjoy seeing your beautiful daughter on her modelling debut! I keep staring at that first photo…. so precious!
What a gorgeous session I had with these two adorable little boys! It was a warm Sunday morning with beautiful light and I got to photograph two loving brothers playing together at The Dingle… what more could a photographer ask for? I loved how protective Matthew was of his little brother and I adored that squishy-faced smile Andrew would get when he was excited. I truly had such a great morning getting to know them all so much better. The things I will remember about our session are Andrew’s smile when meeting every dog in the park, Matthew enjoying his slices of watermelon while Andrew preferred his blueberries, swinging, sliding and ring around the rosy. My heart seriously melts when I look at this sneak peek. Arlie and Laith, I can’t tell you enough how wonderful your boys are. You have such a beautiful family. I hope the boys enjoyed their afternoon at Cirque du Soleil.
I was in Amherst last weekend for my brother’s wedding and, lucky for me, I photographed this gorgeous baby girl! She was 4 weeks old here and since I was travelling so far to photograph her Ella’s Mommy booked the session with me months and months ago. I still can’t get over how incredibly sleepy and good she was for me! We weren’t sure how sleepy she was going to be at first because she had been awake the whole day prior and her little eyes just wouldn’t shut during the first part of her session; however, once I discovered that little Miss Ella loved being on her belly, she was a dream after that. I almost didn’t want to move her once I was done getting all of the sleeping shots because she was so peaceful. Ella’s Mommy was such a great help to me as well… holding reflectors and blankets. It was the first time I was able to get outside and photograph a newborn in a field as well. Something I have wanted to do for ages! I just adored this great family and the look on Ella’s Daddy in the last photo just melts my heart! Kim and Jeff, it was so wonderful meeting you both after so many months. Ella is an absolute doll! And that backyard of yours is fabulous…. a photographer’s dream!
