Baby Andrew {1 Year Session} // Toronto Baby Photography

I first photographed baby Andrew when he was just a wee newborn, then again when he was 6 months old. Then in October, he turned one. It was really great to go back again and document another big milestone and see how much he’s grown! Mom and dad planned a mini cake smash into the session and we got some interesting reactions.

Here are some of my favourites, enjoy!

“Are you sure about this Mom? Normally I can’t touch anything!”

He was mostly interested in putting his fingers in the cake, not so much with eating :)

Oh hi!

back to smashing I go!

hmmm…some cake on the balloon might be fun!

time to get cleaned up little one!

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 Graham {1 Year Old} // Toronto Baby Photographer

I first met baby Graham when he was just three weeks old, then again when he was 6 months old. And last month, he turned 1. It’s amazing how time flies. Heather & Mark had a little birthday celebration for Graham where he had cake for the first time and had lots of fun with balloons, his favourite.

I loved being able to witness some key milestones in little Graham’s first year and documenting them. What a little man he’s grown into! And those blue eyes and sweet cheeks. :)

Thank you Heather & Mark, for inviting me into your home again and for having me along to photograph the amazing time that was baby Graham’s first year.

This bunny is well-weathered. It also appeared in our first session.

Heather said he loves babies, and these photos are evidence of that.

Then we opened some presents, but I think Graham was more interested in the tissue paper. :)

And he made a new friend :)

Baby Tara {8 Months & 1 Year} // Toronto Baby Photography

I first met and photographed little Tara when she was 8 months old, and what a sweetie she was. A couple of weeks ago, I met up with the family again to document Tara turning 1. It’s really a great pleasure to watch these little ones grow, and an honour to be invited into their lives more than once. Thank you Mahima, Ashley, Shaan and Tara!

I had planned to blog the two sessions separately but have decided to combine them instead. Tara’s 1-year session further confirmed my belief that you just gonna chase them down once they learn how to walk, because there’s simply too much to explore to sit still :)

Here are my favourites from both sessions. Enjoy!

They grow up fast!

Must be tough being 1 ;)

This last photo cracks me up :) What said girls have cooties?! ;)

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!

Oliver: 1 Year Old // Toronto Family Photographer

Oliver is 1 year old! Well he’s actually 14 months old now. :) I can’t believe how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday that I took photos of this lovely family when Oliver was just a wee newborn, and again when he was just 6 months old. It’s been an honour to document them at these 3 different stages in Oliver’s first year. For this session, we went down to the Sunnyside Park in the early morning and caught some golden early morning light.

Time and time again, I’m surprised by how much personality the little people exhibit at such a young age. I’ve learned a lot in the past year, and for Oliver’s 1 year session, I learned that once they can walk and run, you better learn to catch up! There is just so much to explore.

Thanks so much guys! It’s been incredible to be able to document these moments for you in the past year.
