It's a Blog-a-thon!

Whew! I made it! Last week was a record week for me; my busiest so far. I have soooo many great peeks to share from each session, and although I'd love to chat about each of them, I have to keep it short or I'll fall behind on work.

As an aside, I have a lovely girl named Cheryl that will now be helping me around the office. I'll post a photograph of her on here next week since she'll become a familiar face around the studio. Cheryl will free me up to accept a few more bookings and spend more time on photography vs. the neverending tasks that need to be done around the office to keep it up and running.

Now on to the eye candy....

I spent a lovely afternoon with the Daigneaults. I love this shoot; it was sweet, loving, affectionate, romantic and so playful. Here's proof!







Then I met little Max. "Cheeks" is the keyword for this little guy, here. Could they be cuter? Don't you just want to reach through the monitor and squeeze 'em??







Then I saw Mattìas again at one year. I met this little guy back when he was just a wee baby. He's really developped a great big personality that I loved. I have to admit though that one of my favorite shots was that big ole' crocodile tear one!







I then met Krista & her family at the beach for a family session. I got to meet Sadie again who'd grown so much since I'd seen her last for her newborn session. And the award for coolest grandma definitely has got to go to Dylan's for showing him how to pull of a great jump!







I helped welcome a wee member of the family with the Ho family.








Then my week turned into a maternity festival! My first mama-to-be was Julie....





Then came Priscilla & Carlos...







Then came Olia...







And then came the mamas that were ready for round two! I love these sessions. They're always a little challenging but always so rewarding. First came Ashley...







And finally Shari, who came with her little Oliver who'd grown so much since I'd last seen him!







Finally, the cherry on top of my week was a session with Lilja. I'd seen her last just a few months ago and she's grown into a flower of a little girl, so happy she glows. I suspect that child may never be unhappy!







A perfect week, really. I feel blessed to be able to spend my days celebrating life with all these beautiful children & families.

Newborns! They're everywhere!

And isn't it sweet? This month is all about reconnecting with my maternity clients for some newborn sessions. I love this! I love being a part of both the excitement and anticipation of pregnancy and the joy and flood of love that comes with a new baby.

It's funny because last month it seemed to be all about the girls, and this month it's raining boys! Here is a sneak peek from my session with Joanna & Savio's little guy yesterday....









And Krystle & Rick's little bunch today!

Little Prince Blake Lucas

I left on vacation without giving Chantal a peek of her session with her little Blake Lucas... How could I?!? I'm hoping to make it up to her today with a few snaps from that session, which was lovely. Blake was a beautiful chill baby that breezed right through his session. Here's a peek!







I love this last shot... it's not easy to keep things fresh & original with newborns & small babies because of the limitations of their positioning.... but how fun is this??

Mini-break!

Well it's been a long time coming! I haven't been to my home town in almost three years now, so this week I'm going back to make sure it's still there. I'll be back on Monday the 17th.

Pretty brown-eyed girl

I met Natasha & Raffi this week for their maternity shoot. The song "Brown eyed girl" was running through my head the whole time because of Natasha's pretty smiley eyes... they really made for some fantastic photographs. The last is my very favorite... a landscape of love, really.

It's Andrew!

Andrew came in like a little ray of sunshine yesterday! My favorite Andrew part is definitely his hair. Look at that! Does it get any cuter??



Cute as a button, I tell you! I could have spent all afternoon with this little cookie! He had a lovely little quirky personality and killer big wide eyes. Happy sneak-peeking, Patsy & Donald!
