I took some photos for little Luke and his family (his mom and I used to work together) on a crisp, early autumn afternoon. Luke’s cousin is Maya, who also makes an appearance below.
the Moms :)
and the Dads :)
Baby Luke // Toronto Baby Photographer
Baby Maya // Toronto Baby Photography
Little Maya: she was so teeny tiny when I met her. There’s something really calming for me when I photograph a newborn/baby session. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the fact that they are pretty oblivious to what’s going on. Or maybe it’s just that I feel like time slows down a little for me when I spend a couple of hours with these little ones. As much as I love weddings, they can be quite hectic. Baby sessions on the other hand, are usually quite the opposite. They give me a chance to quietly go about my work. Though I guess I’m not the parents with a crying baby ;) And having gone through the requisite late nights and all-nighters in college, I know very well what sleep deprivation can do to someone. To be honest, that part of parenthood (at least early parenthood) is something I look forward to the least. In the meantime, I will remain the doting photographer. :)
This below is Boomer! He’s got such personality! Too bad my photos couldn’t quite capture that. Every time I pointed the camera at him, he’d pose.
He was absolutely posing in the below photo.
Baby Andrew {6 Months Old} // Lifestyle Baby Photography
If you’ve looked through my work from the past year, you’ll notice that I haven’t posted many baby & family sessions – yup I’m a little behind! Now that it’s winter time, I’m going to catch up and blog some of my favourite baby & family sessions from the past year. Starting today is a really special little guy. I first met baby Andrew when he was just 9 days old, and back in April I met up with his family for his 6-month session. No matter how many times it happens, I will never cease to be amazed by how fast they grow up! He was such a smiley and happy baby and I’m glad I captured some of that from this session.
Here are some favourites from Baby Andrew’s 6-Month photo session, enjoy!
Baby Aidan // Toronto Newborn Photographer
Baby Aidan: also known as Little Bear. He was adorable in the way that only newborns can be. And so precious. I know I’m not supposed to pick favourites, but this little guy slept through the entire session, I was floored! My favourite thing when photographing a newborn session is seeing the looks of wonder, fascination and pure love from the little ones’ parents. That is what I hope to capture in every newborn/baby session. Here are some favourites from this session!
Angie, Ryan & Reid + 1 // Burlington Family Photographer
This adorable family was expecting a new addition and I took some photos for them on a bright summer morning. Here are some favourites from the session!
Baby Graham {6 Months Old} // Toronto Baby Photographer
Remember this sweet baby and his wonderful family? Well I returned for Baby Graham’s 6-Month session back in September. What a surprise and a treat it was for me to see how much he had grown! And those blue eyes. I love photographing babies around the 6 month mark, as they are usually at their chubbiest and I think it’s the most adorable time ever in their first year. I mean who doesn’t love baby rolls!
What I love the most about photographing families though is those little moments that I capture. The big moments in our lives are often remarkable, life-altering and sometimes heartbreaking. But it’s the little quiet moments that bring the sweetness. These are the moments when are you are at your truest selves; they are also the moments that, when captured on camera, are the ones you see in a slideshow of the bride & groom at a wedding; they are the moments that affirm to you: life isn’t perfect, but it is perfectly imperfect.
Thank you Heather & Mark, for inviting me again into your world. I very much look forward to Graham’s first birthday!
