Newborn Baby Boy in Durham Region
It was like deja vu as I welcomed sweet baby Owen into the studio last week. A new baby boy in Durham Region. Meet baby Owen! Some strong genes in this family, as he reminded me so much of his big sister Olivia. Just gorgeous children! Olivia was a superstar and such a great little model for mom and Auntie who came in. Meet the latest Sweet Baby Plan member! Thank you both for allowing me to capture some beautiful memories of Owen at 8 days old. Enjoy and I'll be in touch soon.
Ajax Baby Bump: Maternity Session
Maternity sessions are beautiful! Every mom deserves some wonderful memories of this time in her life. So how should YOU prepare for your session? Well, maternity sessions in general I like to recommend scheduling them between 32 and 36 weeks. Often times, we have no control when our little one's will arrive, so it's usually best not to wait till the end when mom is tired and uncomfortable.
Your Preparation:
Maternity sessions are all about capturing your beauty during your pregnancy, and the miracle of the baby growing inside you. I want you to be relaxed and comfortable at all times. Make sure that this day is all about YOU! For this session we took advantage of Fall's natural beauty! Perfect temperature and gorgeous colors!
Your Clothing:
I like to suggest to my clients that when we do family maternity sessions or simply family sessions alone, try to think of dressing everyone as one outfit. Meaning, you compliment eachother. To be all tied together rather than everyone sporting a different style. Being relaxed in your own skin so to speak, makes for relaxed and natural images.
Your Session:
Don't forget to breathe and enjoy the moment. The little details that I will help capture for you is MY job. Posed or lifestyle, you are the center of attention. Be yourself, don't be afraid to laugh or cry at the drop of a hat. This precious time in your life goes by quickly. So forget the swollen ankles, tiredness and hormones. You are awesome! Look at you glow!
This session is especially close to home for me. Allow me to introduce to you my sister and her family! I am so excited to share these images with you all. We had a great time together. The kids were super excited and can't wait till baby arrives! Neither can I!
Looking forward to seeing you Baby P!
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
Baby Avery: Baby Plan Member for Petra King Photography
Meet the newest member of the Sweet Baby Plan little Avery! It was months ago when Dad and I spoke on the phone about her arrival and a newborn session. So when I got the call that she arrived I was very excited to finally meet her and the whole family. Mom, Dad and big Bro Evan came to hang out with me while we did her newborn session. She was such a wonderful little babe to work with. Thank you Avery! I loved the little cuddles and new-ness of you being 8 days new! Baby Avery was a client of BabyView 3D Ultrasound. So thanks ladies, I really do have the BEST clients and Business Referrals!
