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!
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
Toronto Urban Family Portraits: Durham Region Photographer
There's something to be said about a family. This family has got it! A fun urban family session downtown at the Brickworks for this crew. Lots of giggles and personality. I loved every minute of it. It's been a couple of years since I saw them last and always great to see how much the kids grow! Thank you Jessica and Tom!
Being a family means you are part of something very wonderful. It means you love and be loved the rest of your life. No matter what!

Sweet 6 month old baby: Durham Region Baby Photography
How time flies! I've had the pleasure of photographing this little one since she was still in her mummy's tummy! How I love watching her grow! My little clients are very dear to my heart and to be able to capture her during her milestone stages is such an honour! You may remember Miss. Madelyn's newborn session here, as well as her 3 month expressive session here! Look at how much she has grown! Here she is at 6 months! Holy cuteness!
These next few I adore. First time feeling grass between her toes! 
Till next time.
