Ajax, Oshawa, Children, Family Photographer:: 3 little monkey's...
One of the highlights of being a photographer is the pleasure of seeing your repeat clients and watching their families grow. It's truly is an honour to walk with you and steal some precious moments together once again. This was the case earlier this week when I met this sweet young, fun family from Oshawa. A little over 2 years have passed since I've seen them last. As I photographed their middle daughter's newborn pictures. How she's grown and what a little cutie she is. Talk about personality. Sure rings true that the 2nd child is SO different and fearless to a first born! Both girls are brown eyed beauties. Funny I see a lot of what I used to look like at age 5 in the eldest! Curls and all :D Well now there's 3. Sweet little, laid back Stephen! He sure is pretty cool with his sisters adoring him and showering the hugs and kisses. How cute is he! I look forward to seeing him grow! We had fun, the girls did their own thing as they do and we just went with the flow. Les, and Karin, thanks so much for allowing me to work with you once again! Your family is awesome!
LOVE this one...singing us some sweet songs... :)
Ajax,Durham Region,Little Britain Children,Family Photographer:: Sarita Baby on the Blog!
Bright and early on a sunny,windy Friday morning I packed up the car and headed up to Little Britain. Just 10-15 min up the road from Port Perry lies a quaint, little area just off Lake Scugog.
Upon my arrival I was greeted at the door with smiles, bright eyes and lots of curoisty! I knew we were in for some fun when the kids are all excited to see you.
I spent a few hours with this beautiful, young sweet family as we created some memories to hang on their walls.

So what did YOU do this past weekend? Get caught up with the family, running errands, housework and family time? Yup same here :) BUT I also spent some of my time with such a wonderful family in Whitby. You see we got connected via the wonderful new non profit foundation I am proud to be a memeber of: The Tiny Light Foundation.

Sunday morning I shared it with a sweet happy and adorable little boy named Liam. Here's Liam's story! (*used with permission)
"When we discovered in October of 2008 that we were expecting our 3rd baby, we never could have imagined what was in store for us. At 20 weeks pregnant, we learned Liam would be born with a cleft lip and palate. We were crushed! We didn't know then, but Liam had more surprised for us. By the time I gave birth, we had come to terms with Liam's cleft diagnosis and realized it was something that could be 'fixed'. On June 18, 2009 our third son Liam made his appearance into the world. When Liam was 5 weeks old we were told he had bilateral PHPV, a rare eye condition leaving him blind in both eyes. What seemed insurmountable a year and a half ago seems almost 'normal' to us now. I can't imagine my life any other way! Liam has taught us so much in such a short time. We truly see the world in a different, more positive way. It's been a difficult road, one which we never could have imagined we'd be taking, and I'm sure to many when I say we're so blessed it may seem strange - but we are! Dave and I have been together for 13 years and married for the past 8. We have 3 sons together Lukas, 6 years; Brady 5 years; Liam 18 months, as well as Dave's son Nathan, 16 years. We have our ups & downs, but really - don't we all! Liam truly is a 'tiny light' - he brightens the hearts of every person he meets! He's had 14 surgical procedures in just 18 months of life. He's a strong little boy and he fills me with a little more pride each and every day!"
Liam clearly stole the show yestarday morning. I knew our window of capturing some images of him in his home would be small, BUT as you can see he's such a sweet little guy and what a ham! I love it :)
He has 3 loving sweet older brothers and what a handsome bunch they are. Just look at those rockin' mohawks! Kristina,Dave thanks very much for welcoming me yestarday. It was a pleasure and a special thanks for the thoughtful gift you sent me home with Kristina. So sweet of you. Not needed but very gracious!
Looking forward to seeing you all again in spring/summer for a family session outdoors.
Here are a few images of your Tiny Light. What a ray of sunshine he is indeed!
Meet Liam.
Love this one..
