Milestone Session :: Sebastian

April 15, 2019

Milestone sitter sessions are quickly becoming some of my favourite sessions. There is just the right element of cuteness and unpredictability.  These little ones let their true personality shine and I can tell within minutes if we are going to get a work out of if parents are going to have a hard time choosing their images.

Sebastian is the sweetest little man. He was so cooperative and calm it almost seemed too easy.  Usually, we are up and down, left and right, fixing blankets and props.  I literally could have done 15 set ups with this guy and not even broken a sweat.  His sweet demeanour just made my heart melt.  That and his thighs. I love chubby thighs!!! And those lashes…. OMG those lashes. Because what girl doesn’t desire long lashes!

Milestones are a great way to capture all the little details of babies after then learn to sit.  Between 4 and 6 months are the best time and give us the most options for props and posing.  We all think about milestones being the ‘big’ ones meaning newborn and first birthday, but the time in-between is also momentous. These little ones learn to sit, crawl and even walk.  When you look back, wouldn’t you love to have captured these moments too?!?!

Newborn :: Cadence

March 29, 2017

Being a newborn photographer isn’t for the faint of heart.  These little ones fight to have their photo taken like no other. Well most of them do – kinda like 2 year olds. This sweet little girl was a dream come true and was her sister. Wish other babies would take notes!

I always have a plan for each session and hope we get the time to pull it all off.  There are some tips and tricks that every parent is armed with, but newborns are in control right from the moment they are born.  So when I get a family as calm and cooperative as this one I take full advantage.  This is one of those times I remember why I love photographing newborns!  And it kinda makes me want one of my own….just don’t tell my husband!

Milestone Sessions

December 1, 2016

Milestone sessions capture those moments where your little one can hold their head up, sit on their own and learn to stand.  These are moments we want to remember and that really go by in a flash.  Babies aren’t babies and are growing into themselves. Little rolls, chubby cheeks, giant grins and tiny hands and feet.

Each baby develops differently so it’s hard to say what month you should schedule your session.  Some things to look for is your little one holding their head up while on their tummy for minimum of 10 seconds consecutively without bobbing or tipping.  Some kids can do this at 3 months and some at 4 months. Once you baby has mastered this you should book your session.

Another great time is when they can sit on their own. They should be able to hold themselves up without any aids and with minimal tipping over.  This stage is when you can get those adorable photos of your baby on their back grabbing their toes and giggling.  They are quick to laugh and make the best faces for the camera. Probably my favourite time!

Lastly, the one year mark is a great way to complete the set of images in your babies first year. These sessions can incorporate some of your little ones favourite things. They have begun to develop their own personality and you can customize their session to make it truly them.

Landon :: 6 Months Session

June 9, 2016

6 month milestone photography is bigger than you think.  I met Landon when he was just a newborn.  He still sort of looks the same but still sort of looks totally different! Kids really do grow fast and I try to stress to my clients how important capturing these moments are.  The things they do and learn in just a short time frame are so easy to forget.  You think you will remember when they started sitting but the second they can stand that memory gets bumped back. It’s true, I learn the hard way every day!

With that said, these sessions are perfect to capture their little personalities. The 6 month milestone is kind of a big deal.  The facial expressions kill me!  Gummy smiles, moments of annoyance with us for trying to pose them, and candid laughter of parents.  These are the things we don’t alway notice every day let alone capture as a memory for an album or our walls.  We all strive for the perfect family photo but if there is anything I have learned since having my daughter is those random photos that you didn’t think were all that great at the moment are actually the ones you look back on and smile at.  The ones that captured your family naturally in the moment.

Looking forward to more smiles from this guy in years to come!

Newborn :: Logan

June 21, 2015

Baby photography keeps you on your toes.  Unless you get one in the studio that sleeps perfectly and lets you do whatever you want without fussing.  Things like this kinda blow my mind.  Even though this little guy peed all over the studio I could never hold it against him.  Nothing a few puppy pads can’t handle.  It’s days like this I love photographing babies.

His parents were great.  So calm and quite.  Maybe not so much their norm, but a baby can do that to you.  Exhaust you and make you slow down to the pace of a sloth. It’s all good. Love when parents come in that way.  I always underestimate the parents affect on little ones though.  This time it couldn’t have worked out better.  Nothing like a calm studio to keep a baby sleepy and cooperative!

Baby Logan not only was super sweet but had the best ‘Ombre highlights’ I have ever seen.  Yes he had subtle frosted tips for those of you not up on the lingo.  Don’t ask me how that’s even possible but his wild hair only made him that much cuter.  Can’t wait to see him grow up. Congrats guys!

Baby Clara

August 4, 2013

I don’t know what it is about baby girls – they just look so cuddly and cute.  Baby Clara was absolutely a doll during her newborn photography session and made me fall in love with her within minutes.  Clara is the first born so I’m sure she will get all the spoiling she deserves.  When I spoke to her parents they wanted to do something different.  Something unique and that was personal to them.  Cue the most beautiful quilt ever.  Made by an aunt with love, this was by far my favourite backdrop to date.  So many soft colours and patterns!  I’ve already asked my mom to take a quilting class but the negotiations are still ongoing.

 

When I suggested we do some photographs and incorporate books, mom was all over it.  Turns out dad is math teacher and just so happened to have a text book around.  I know Clara looks all cozy but she did put up a fight.  Do you blame her?!?!?!?! Math is at the bottom of almost everyone’s favourite subject list.  That being said, it’s no wonder she quickly feel asleep for us.  No offence to all you number crunchers!

 

Can’t wait to see her grow up.  Congrats to both of you!

 

Jen

Baby Ryan

October 14, 2012

Have you seen those eyes?!?!  My grandmother once  told me she fell in love with my grandfather because of his beautiful blue eyes.  My obvious reaction was ‘that’s just crazy talk!’….but I get it.  Ryan has those stunning blue eyes that will mesmerize any girl.

 

He’s only 9 weeks and already a handsome devil.  Can you imagine in 20 yrs…..lock up your daughters!

 

Can’t wait to see him grow. Congrats Sherri and Al!

Max’s First Birthday

September 9, 2012

First birthday’s can make a kid smile!

When we think of birthdays, we think of the person who’s getting older.  Not the parents of the birthday boy or girl.  They have just as much to celebrate as the one blowing the candles out.  Through my conversations with Fiona, I realized this first birthday shoot had more meaning behind it.

Back in 2006, Fiona was diagnosed with breast cancer and starting a family was put on hold.  Something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.  Today she has Max.  She kicked cancers butt and now has the perfect family.

To celebrate everything that Sept. 2 means to this family, we did a shoot that incorporated all elements.  Including a giant number 1 sign that Max painted with his body.  Not only is he freaking cute…..he’s talented too!

Happy 1st Birthday Max (Fiona and Ryan)!  Hope the day was full of joy and yummy cake!
