Newmarket Family Photographer

Flower farms aren’t just in the movies. I thought they were for the longest time. How could something so pretty actually exist. But they do. Country Cut Flowers is obviously my fave and no matter where we are on the property, the images come out stunning.

I’ve been photographing this family for 7 years now. Closer to 8 I think. It feels like I started this career not so long ago, but clients like this remind me it’s been a while. Someone messaged me about their 2013 session and I’m still at a loss for words. It’s literally been at least 10 years since I started capturing families. How?!

As the summer approaches and my calendar starts to fill up, I am reminded of all the families I have been lucky enough to meet. How many I am about to get to know and watch grow. Not every client comes back every year, but those that do have a special place in my heart. It’s an honour to capture these memories for them and to be a part of it all year after year. It’s so amazing to see kids go from newborns to toddlers to little people with big personalities. I really do love what I do and think my clients are a huge part of it. Especially this family.

Richmond Hill Newborn boy

Newborn boys know how to steal the ladies hearts. This little guy was no different. When I met his parents at their maternity session, I knew they would have a perfect little sweet heart. The whole family is soft spoken and calm. Something I don’t have enough of in my life lol. Anyone with small kids can agree! You can see their maternity session HERE.

He totally rocked his session and we were able to get sleepy and awake images. Not always the easiest thing to do. His little eyes are the cutest and really glad we were able to capture them! I think it’s one thing I regret not getting when I did my own. That and the tiny feet!

I’m not having baby fever (or at least I keep telling myself that), but I am really looking forward to having some more newborns in the studio. At least I can get my baby cuddles out of the way! Know anyone excepting? Send them my way!

Now booking for 2021 – Contact me HERE.

Newborn Photographer Richmond Hill

I have been photographing this family since they got engaged. Seems like forever ago now that we met for coffee and talked about their big day. I even did their winter engagement session while I was pregnant. Nothing like trying to squeeze into snow pants with a baby belly!

Fast forward two kids later and we still stay in touch. It’s families like these that I grow with. We share similar experience around the same time and it means the world to me that they keep coming back.

Every so often I get requests for themed sessions. I secretly love them (and fear them) as there is a lot more thought that has to go into them. There is a creative element that makes my job interesting. It’s no secret these guys are Harry Potter fans and as with their first session, they requested incorporating it into their session. After a lot of back and forth, we decided to do something similar to their first newborn session, but with a different Howarts House. Last time we did the Gryffindor and this time it was Ravenclaw. You can check out their first session here and the most recent below. Love comparing the two! Now these guys need to have two more kids lol.

Tess and Gemma

July 19, 2012

Being a kids photographer is never dull. Cue these two little ladies. Cute, cuter, even cuter and super cute. That sums up the Gemma and Tess. Which is which you ask? Take your pick. Little Gemma is 10 months old and big sister Tess is 3. Together they are 100% adorable and great little models. Wish I could share the full session with everyone as there are some really funny photos. Guess those images are limited to myself, Kate, Carey and any future boyfriends these two little girls may have!
