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. :)

Baby Arthur // Toronto Baby Photographer

Baby Arthur was 6 months old when I photographed him and his lovely parents. They played and giggled together, and even played the piano with little Arthur between them. Then we went outside briefly where Arthur sat in the snow for the very first time. It was adorable. I’m really honoured to be able to photograph families. I feel like I get to play a small part in their family history, being the photographer who documented some key milestones and some small moments. Sometimes when I’ve captured a moment I’m particularly proud of, I wonder if the little ones will grow up one day and wonder about who it was that took the photo and what the story behind it was. Above all though, I hope they will see these photos and know beyond any doubt how much their parents love and adore them.

Here are just a few of my favourites from this 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!

Baby Matilda // Toronto Baby Photographer

Baby Matilda is the first baby I met this year. And she’s beyond sweet. She was just 9 days old when I photographed her, her doting parents Emma & Adam and their adorable dachshund Albi.

Congratulations Emma & Adam! What a wonderful family you have!

Also, I tried what I learned from Priscilla Dunstan, I think it worked! I’ll need more practice for sure to distinguish the sounds better.

Hello darling!

Already bonding with big sister Albi.
