Family & Newborn Photography

Newborn :: Roxie

Thornhill Newborn Photographer

Photographing newborns is one thing. Throw in siblings and all you can do is hold your breath and hope for the best.  Every so often you get cooperation and with a little magic, you capture something no parent can live without.

Babies are irresistible but older siblings taking pride in their new brother or sister is just simply beautiful. Kind of makes you want to freeze the moment and just stare at them.  In reality you have a millisecond to take the picture and pray no one blinked, sneezed, made a weird face or even got up and left.  Small kids definitely test your skills as they give you one shot then take off like they have things to do and places to be. So when miracles happen and I can show parents images like these, I really do feel like I’ve done my job right.

Seriously in love with this little girl. So calm, quiet and just plain photogenic.  So excited to see her grow up just like her sisters!

Newborn :: Aven

Newmarket Newborn Photographer

Don’t know what I love more…her name or her squishy little face!  Probably the squishy face! How cute is the name Aven though?!?! I don’t know any others and it’s so pretty.  Unique names are next to impossible to find unless they are something borderline insane.  Aven is a type of mountain flower in the rose family and simple too perfect for this little lady.

She gave us every expression in the book and completely stole the show.  Easily one of my fave little girls. So much so I have her photo blown up in the studio to life size….maybe even bigger!

Seriously, can’t wait to see her grow up!  Check out that smile!

Newborn :: Jake

Mississauga Newborn Photographer

This little family is one of my faves. I photographed their wedding (yes I do weddings too) and now their little Muggle.  Yes that’s a Harry Potter reference and you will know why if you keep scrolling.

It’s such an honour to be there for these milestones in a couples lives.  You almost feel like best friends in the sense that you play a roll in big moments like marriage and starting a family. It’s kinda crazy to me!  If you think about it, you don’t go to all your friends weddings, you meet them after they are married or before kids and therefor don’t get to celebrate these things.

I knew these two were going to ask me to incorporate Harry Potter into their session, but I had no idea how many things they would bring to tell the story.  When parents say they are bringing props I usually cringe a little for the fact that I have no clue what they will look like. I’m a big fan of things looking real.  Like metal/wood vs plastic and so on.  So…. I had no clue what I was in for but so glad they totally nailed it!

Newborn :: Jacob

Stouffville Newborn Photographer

What can I say, he has adorable parents so why wouldn’t he be freakishly cute!

When I found out these guys wanted to incorporate dad’s love for motorcycles into their session I was excited and nervous.  Themes can be tricky as you don’t know the props or how they will work in to an image and still make it look beautiful.  Not going to lie, totally shocked and in love with how cute the final images came out.  Yes they are a beautiful family, we’ve already covered that, but look at Jacob in the helmet. Melt your heart and totally meaningful to them.

Newborns steal my heart almost ever time and looking at these images makes me excited for all the newborns booked in the coming weeks.  Hurry up babies I need a fix!!!

Newborn :: Cadence

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!
