Love Squared Kids: Meet the Maker

Meet Durham Region’s Best Beanie maker Farah and her sweet family! Okay can we just take a hot minute and crush on these beautiful girls of her’s? I mean come on!!

Farah came into the studio over the holidays ( yes that is how far behind in blogging I am lol) and boy did we have fun! The girls came in with matching pj’s and sporting mom’s super cute, comfy and stylish beanies. So naturally I had some fun with these 2 silly sweet girls.

LOL at the images above. So let me break this scene down for you. Mom would love some beautiful portraits for home. Kids being kids..they are curious to see what was inside the prop Christmas presents.. Mom and Dad mortified they were trashing the set I laughed and winked at mom and said…let’s see where this goes.

Squeals and giggles, as the girls did their best to open the props. Check out those last 2 photos haaaa…the littlest one says “auntie” (me)…it’s empty! LOL we laughed so hard! But don’t worry, the session was pretty much done at this point and since these beauties were my last of 2018 I had a special little treat for them that they went home with.

Signing off 2018 with a tickle fest! They are the best right? (on someone else tho not me lol)

If you’d like to check out more of Farah’s work, you can visit her shop over at: Love Squared Kids or pop on over to her Instagram page! But hurry! She sells out Quick!

Much love,

Couple Maternity Session: Oshawa Maternity Photographer

The impending arrival of a new baby is amazing.  It`s scary, it`s excitement and worry and all other emotions you go through...and that`s just the first 10 minutes lol...JK!  All joking aside this wonderful time in a couples lives goes by so quickly. Just ask any parent. While some days may drag on and you are tired, sore and moody...once your little one arrives and a new adventure begins for you, those feeling and memories will be a little distant.  Fast forward to one year ahead and it feels like an eternity away. Another reason why it is important to document your pregnancy milestone with beautiful photographs.  Your future self will be so happy that you did.  To be able to look back and these beautiful images with pride and love.  That is just what this beautiful young mama and her husband did recently in studio.

Stay tuned for this little baby`s newborn session coming soon!  Any guesses what mom is having?

Maternity sessions and these beautiful flowers are exclusive to Petra King Photography and Aspen Florist!  Curious to learn more or want to book a session?  Drop me a message HERE and let's get celebrating you and your impending arrival!

See  you soon xo

Outdoor Oshawa Maternity Photography

This past summer we had some amazing hot weather.  It was during this time that a client of mine wanted to have an outdoor maternity session with her family.  We were very excited for this day as it's always amazing to meet your clients whole family after months of planning and consulting.  For those local, remember those scorcher days of humidity and heat alerts? Yep...she was a trooper lol. Actually they all were but kudos to mama for keeping cool calm and collective. We had a lot of fun and for this sweet blended family to welcome a new baby girl into their dynamics it's pretty awesome!  

Big sis and bro are so excited to meet her...

A new chapter is about to begin and these two are so excited to jump right in!

Isn`t she lovely?

Baby Holden: Oshawa Newborn Photographer

Meet Baby Holden!  He was another gorgeous baby boy to grace the studio recently for his newborn session with his excited new parents. With the best baby hair style this little sweet old soul was a pro through his session.  You hear me say time and time again that every newborn session is different. This was exactly the case with Holden's shoot.  I love welcoming first time parents into the studio, making them feel comfortable. Getting to know you as I work through the session. Enjoying every single moment and reassuring mom and dad (who are often exhausted) that they are doing a great job and the challenges they are facing are often very normal. Most importantly..they aren't alone.

Such was just the case with this beautiful young family.  So much so, that during my gentle guidance and reassurance, mom and dad had a flood of emotions take over.  Let me tell you it was so heart warming to see!  Pure love and emotion at it's finest. Yes new parents are exhausted but when they finally pause, and take a step back to see what they have created it's pretty awesome to see their natural reactions. Hormones and all lol. Even more so when it hit's new dad's!!

And some sweet sweet daddy love for his new son...I know...I heard you awww ;)

Model Call LSK: Oshawa Child Photographer

So last month I had the opportunity to work with a totally cool, rad and local small business.  Meet LSK ( Love Squared Kids). This busy mama of 2 creates hats for any age that are stylish, practical and an amazing quality all handmade.  You may have seen her at some local markets and pop ups all over Durham Region and the GTA.  We placed a call out for a few models needed for a Brand Rep shoot.  The response BLEW our minds. We had close to 140 entries. Talk about totally flattered and feeling the love!  Thank you to everyone who reached out, sent us photos of your beautiful children. Needless to say it was a TOUGH decision!  If we had time ya'll would have kept us working for weeks lol!!!   Below are those that joined us for both rounds of our shoot. We thought you'd like to see some of our Brand Rep Shots from those dates.

I mean come on right? Check these kids out!!!

 This was round one of our Model Call. These kids killed it and were sooooo natural it was unreal.  Tude, giggles, swag, stylin and just being themselves. It's what it's all about.

I just love photographing children. Not only do they challenge you as an artist, but the interaction and personality you build with them pushes you to really capture their true spirits.  Telling their story through the emotions and feelings they omit. While styling these uber cool beanies and hats flawlessly.

Thanks Love Squared Kids for this opportunity and to all the mom's and dad's who came out to join us for these events.  You can find more mof LSK's work and products online over at: Love Squared Kids and here on Instagram!  Drop her a line and let her know I sent you!

Maternity Photography

A recent maternity couple in studio for their maternity photography session.   A pregnancy brings a lot changes to a couples lives.  It can be both exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.  Wondering how you will manage, if you are doing the right thing, taking care of yourself on a more serious note and in general waiting patiently for this little one to arrive.  Sound familiar?  Completely normal I promise ;) enter this sweet young nervous couple.  I had the absolute pleasure of meeting them as a referral from another client.  Thanks so much S! Mom to be was very timid in the beginning but we made sure she was comfortable, offered gentle guidance and she was a natural.  Here are some of her gorgeous photographs we captured that day.
