The arrival of a baby brings a new chapter to your life. What better time than that to document the beginning of something new?
My baby sessions take on more of a candid, lifestyle approach, which means no props (if you have items you’d like to include, we can definitely incorporate them), not a lot of posing, and no need for babies to be sound asleep. Just you and your new bundle of joy hanging out; natural & no fuss.
I photographed Brittany and James’ rustic farm wedding back in 2014, and a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to meet and photograph the new addition to their family: baby Audrey.
There’s an undeniable feeling of joy and wonder in the air in their little family, and I felt so blessed to have been able to capture these. For these guys, home is Saturday morning in bed and your loved ones are by your side.
I met Micaela, her two boys and her partner Morgan at Alexander Muir Gardens on a summer evening for some maternity photography. The boys certainly added a lot of fun into the session! They ran around barefoot, photo bombed us when they weren’t in the photos. They reminded me why I love photographing children so much – their genuineness, authenticity, how easy it is to connect with them. They haven’t spent years building up facades; if they are happy, they will laugh; if they are sad or angry, they will cry. Parents, even if you don’t get professional photos taken, take lots of photos yourself – not the posed kinds, but capturing the everyday moments. Because they don’t stay that way forever. But I guess that’s why those years are so precious.
If this lovely family looks familiar, it’s because I photographed Kelly and Mike’s wonderful country backyard wedding 1.5 years ago. Last August they welcomed their baby boy Matthew, and I was lucky enough to be invited back to document a new chapter in life together. I love these connections I’m able to make through the work I work.
A belated welcome to baby Matthew! Hope I will see more of all of you guys in the future. :)
Meet baby Blake.
She was born in December last year and was the first little one I photographed this year.
She was curious and awake at the beginning of our session, but then fell asleep after a nice warm bath.
Lisa and I used to work together. She also designed my original logo. So I was thrilled when she contacted me about photographing her bump! Lisa and Dave met back in high school, so for this session we went back to where it all started: Appleby college.
Congratulations you two! I can’t wait to meet your little one!
Meet baby Benjamin, or as his parents call him, Benji. I had first photographed him while he was still in his mom’s belly just a month earlier. Life is marvellous.
Big brothers Clark and Ralph joined in for some photos too.
It was 2 weeks before Christmas and I couldn’t help but grab a shot of al the stockings.
