Little 5 day old baby boy

Photographing little newborn babies is something that I am completely honored to do.  With every new family I journey with each is unique and beautiful in their own way. What a blessing to get to know them, to listen to how the met, their history and hear their future plans.  I LOVE welcoming a newborn into the world and am humbled every time a newborn comes into the studio.  This next young adorable family hung out with me earlier this week. It was awesome to see how relaxed and comfortable they were as I worked with their new son. Meet Charlie!  What an adorable 5 day old.  Not a peep out of him till the very end!  Charlie was so alert and curious at the beginning of our session however after a full tummy and dry bottom, the rest was magical.  These little people really are the boss. As mentioned many times before, being a mom helps and you go by their lead.  Patience is key when photographing newborns!

He enjoyed the session too see...

He was the most curious 5 day old I have ever photographed!  Soo cute...had to throw this one in there mom :)

This last photograph is pretty special. This blanket is 66 years old.  A true family heirloom on Dad's side.  Dad, Grandpa and many other's

were brought home from the hospital wrapped up in this. Something to cherish for years to come!

 

Kristy, Bryan thank you for allowing me to capture Charlie for you. What a blessing!  Enjoy him, they grow so fast and I'll see you real soon!

Love,

Baby love:: Whitby Newborn Session

She is gorgeous isn't she?  Those cheeks, the fine little eyelashes and oh that baby mouth. Pure squish and I loved working with her during our Newborn session yesterday in studio here in Ajax. Mom was totally relaxed and caught shut eye for a few moments. ;) That was awesome!   Meet Mackenzie, 12 days new and adorable. The gorgeous pixie hat used in this session was made from Bubblegirlknits!  Lisa thanks very much. Love your work!  You can find Lisa's products over at her shop: Bubblegirlknits.

Mom brought a few sweet things with her for the session. It's lovely when clients bring a little bit of their ideas to the table for the session too. It helps customize your newborn session and make it unique to you.
