Trumpet sounds…doo do do doooooo lol…Fresh new kid on the block for this gorgeous sweet family!
Hey guys! Happy Thursday ;).
Okay…taking a moment to appreciate the little details in life like wrinkly baby fingers. Meet Harper! This sweet baby girl made her intro earth-side a few weeks ago and she brought in her big brother, and gorgeous mom and dad for her newborn session. I was so excited to do this shoot for my repeat client as the last time I saw her we did a Simply Motherhood event with her then 8 month old son.
We had a fun, busy time during our session. Throughout our session I always keep things moving forward. Especially when we have toddlers involved. I know as a parent that you have a small window to work with when it comes to attention and patience. I must comment and and say that these 2 parents handled things like pros. Balancing a newborn and a toddler is not easy. Trust me I have been there…( mine are 11 months apart HA!…more on what life was like then another time)
That said, you shift focus. Yes ultimately your goal is to capture this beautiful new babe (and we did) however you need to realize and remember that as a toddler this new dynamic and routine is something they have yet to embrace. You are bound to have a slew of emotions and roller coaster days.
Making “new” older brothers or sisters feel like they are part of this experience is key and so important too. We captured Mason (big brother) for a few minutes and he didn’t even realize that the monkey in my camera was really his own reflection ;)

Our family newborn sessions are always natural and baby led. The most common question I get asked is what does a typical newborn session look like? My response…is baby led. Every session is different, unique and authentic. While we have some ideas of what is important to be captured, telling your story through my eyes, interactions, the experience is always one of a kind.
Thank you for trusting me with your sweetest littles and as always…a wonderful honour and journey to walk these fleeting milestone moments with you!
Enjoy and till next time!

New son: Bowmanville,Oshawa,NewbornPhotographer
I LOVE meeting new families in studio. When proud new siblings walk right in and announce that they have a new brother and or sister and start taking off shoes and coats to make themselves at home. That’s usually a good sign that they are comfortable. While us adults giggle about it, and try to exchange welcomes as we get them in and seated.
You’ve just played that scenario in your mind right? LOL Yep it’s pretty much how it unfolded and our newborn sessions are always fun and entertaining when a 2 yr old and newborn are in studio!
But amid the excitement comes the sweetest moments. When a new Dad kisses his baby to help calm them when fussy. To cuddle and soothe and soak in that newborn smell.
And when a new mom to be gently kisses her son’s head…these in between moments are those that are the truest. Unplanned, not posed, just pure perfection. They pull at our heartstrings and stay with us forever.
Congrats to the F family! I can’t wait to see your little men grow! See you soon!

Baby Allison: Durham Region and Toronto Newborn Photographer
A newborn photography session is something that every parent should have. With the excitement of your first ,second or third baby, the organized chaos seems to set in and before you know it baby is here. ALL my newborns take first priority with me. I'd have it no other way. That said, when mom called me with the arrival of her little princess we got her in asap. A HUGE thanks to mom and grandma for making the trip out from the east end of Toronto to the studio last week. Little Allison was pleasure to photograph and as I've said many times before every newborn session is unique. I love that! Mom was super excited and enjoyed the babysitting service and a hot cuppa while she took in the whole experience before her. I even heard gasps's and awe's behind me as I worked with her beautiful daughter. ;) All part of the custom service when you book a newborn session. I love what I do and knowing my clients are relaxed and beyond happy puts a huge smile on my face.

Mother's Day Mini Sessions: Toronto Durham Region Photographer
We all take pictures of people, places and things. However nothing is more important than taking photographs of those that we love most. With Mother's Day approaching, it's time to honor her with some beautiful portraits. A time to say thanks, you are loved and you do so much for us.
