Twin Baby Girls: Toronto Newborn Photographer

I am so thankful that mom and dad contacted me last week to come in and get some twin newborn photographs of their sweet baby girls.  Meet Hali & Arizona at 4 weeks!  These precious adorable itty bitty baby girls weighed just a mere 3lb odds when they were born. The littlest ones I've had the honor of photographing ever!  Our session was so much fun, and albeit for first time parents I cannot praise them enough for being so relaxed and easy going. I will write a book with them on the secrets for that later and be sure to share with you all lol... I know that mom and dad also have some fantastic friends and family who like them, just adore these little babies. Thanks B and gang ;) She loved it...

Our newborn session left me with such a huge smile on my face and overflowing love in my heart. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for allowing me to capture such fleeting moments in your life. For allowing me to journey with you in times when all you'd like to do is sleep ;) I am following my passion of photography.   To all the awesome babies, families and friendships I build through the year, you are helping me achieve my dream. I am where I am meant to be.

Let the journey begin....

Outdoor Maternity Session in the Durham Region

Fall is such ans AWESOME time of year. My favorite by far!  While mother nature turning a new leaf (pardon the pun) it's a fabulous time to be outdoors for a maternity session!  Mom's are way more comfortable with the cooler temperatures now that the humidity has passed.  The love of being outdoors often allows mom to be more relaxed and positively glowing! Its been a busy Fall for sure and for that I am ever so blessed and thankful to work with such awesome friends and clients.  Three and a half years ago I watched as a little beautiful dark haired beauty was welcomed into a family. Mom and Dad we've known for quite a few years now and I am thrilled to announce baby #2 will be here this coming November!

Thanks Sabrina and Rob for a fantastic maternity session. Our weather was perfect, and I am So in love with our images captured that afternoon!  Enjoy and see you soon.xo

Pure. Simple. Lovely.

Ajax Family: Durham Region's Newborn Family Photographer

Annual family portraits are something that we hold near and dear to us.  Life is short... Live it to the fullest...  Right?... For me, choosing to surround myself with those of utmost importance, both family and friends I believe will only make you stronger.  In this day in age, it's hard not to get wrapped up in all things negative, petty and greed driven.  However, keeping one's family values and  morals in check can only lead to the greatest success of all.  A strong family unit!

This lovely Ajax family I've known for the last 15+ years. Actually,mom and I go way back to HS. :)  I was lucky enough to meet up with them last week and photograph the three of them.  Meet Noah. All of 5 years old now. (Happy Belated Noah) and personality! WOW.. I just loved this little man!  A kid after my own heart, no need to pose and work with him during our session. He told ME what he had in mind for our session. LOVE it! Cheers buddy. You were awesome!

Noah's posing style...future in creativity and design wouldn't you say?

The Big Boy now!

Till next time. x

Newborn Baby John: Growing families

Repeat business is absolutely wonderful! Walking into my wonderful clients home again I was instantly greeted with a shy, quiet and excited 3 yr old.  My how she has grown!  Call it deja vu and amazing clients, but when I go the call that they have added a new love to their life I was beyond thrilled!  One look at little John and it instantly took me back to his big sister's newborn baby session 3 yrs ago.  Certainly strong genes in this family!

Adrienne, Mark and big girl Lyla, thank you very much for having me welcome little John to the world.  He is a beautiful little boy and was such a pleasure to work with. His smiles and little flirting melted my heart ;)

Thanks again for a wonderful session. You make beautiful babies xo
