Lukas | Niagara Newborn Photographer

liz czinege niagara grimsby newborn photographer01The below image pretty much sums up how Lukas felt about his newborn portraits. He was having NONE of it. But that’s okay because we still got some images that Mom and Dad love and we have 3 more sessions in his first year to make up for it! liz czinege niagara grimsby newborn photographer02liz czinege niagara grimsby newborn photographer03So snuggly! liz czinege niagara grimsby newborn photographer04Newborn piggies! liz czinege niagara grimsby newborn photographer05Lukas looks like the Thinker in this image.

Cole | Niagara Child Photographer

Cole will be turning one in a few weeks. I was so happy when his Mom contacted me about doing birthday portraits. I love seeing how much they have grown since their newborn portraits and what better first birthday present – something that he will cherish for a lifetime.  Cole’s big brother is so patient with him, and with me!  Mom brought a “Chip and Dale” outfit for Cole to wear. Isn’t it the cutest thing ever?!  We all know this feeling – we really shouldn’t but we’re going to anyways, because really.. who can refuse cake?!  Cole wasn’t sure about the taste of the cake, but regardless he kept going back for more!

czinege-photography-niagara-child-01 Happy 6 Months Nicholas! Times flies! I was loving this kids rocking’ style during his session last week. Denim and plaid, my favourites! Last time I photographed Nicholas he was so serious, this time he was all smiles! I love capturing portraits for the “Baby’s First Year” package. It’s awesome to watch them grow and hit milestones. Last time I was Nicholas he could barely hold up his head, now he is such a strong boy!
czinege-photography-niagara-child-02 czinege-photography-niagara-child-03 I love capturing the serious look on kids faces when they’re staring right at the camera, there is just something about it. czinege-photography-niagara-child-04 Hehehe, love that little chin!czinege-photography-niagara-child-07czinege-photography-niagara-child-08 czinege-photography-niagara-child-09Here’s a little triptych of his growth to date; see you in another 3 months little man!

I can’t believe how much he looks like his sister Isabella.czinege-photography-niagara-child-02 czinege-photography-niagara-child-03 czinege-photography-niagara-child-04 czinege-photography-niagara-child-05 Nicholas did so well keeping his head up, such a strong boy!!

liz_czinege_niagara_grimsby_newborn_photographer01 This little munchkin was only 6 pounds when I photographed him. He is such a sweet little boy, he slept through the ENTIRE session and we were done in record time – less than two hours! (I not so secretly love premies. Super tiny and bendy and sleepy, you can’t go wrong.)liz_czinege_niagara_grimsby_newborn_photographer02 liz_czinege_niagara_grimsby_newborn_photographer03 Not very many babies are comfortable going into this pose, but he rocked it – and so did his sister a few years ago!liz_czinege_niagara_grimsby_newborn_photographer04 liz_czinege_niagara_grimsby_newborn_photographer05 Nicholas has HUGE hands, he’s going to be a big boy!liz_czinege_niagara_grimsby_newborn_photographer06 See you in a couple months Nicholas!liz_czinege_niagara_grimsby_newborn_photographer07

Isabella | First Birthday | Hamilton Child Photographer

liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn09 One year has come to a close. I’m always at a lose when it comes to talking about the last session in my Baby’s First Year package. It’s bittersweet, I love watching my little clients grow and reach new milestones! After each session with Isabella I didn’t think she could get any more adorable – but she did! – her smiles is so contagious! liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn01 liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn02 Dad was able to make it to Isabella’s last session and she had nothing but smiles for him – usually she’s VERY serious.
liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn10 liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn03 I’m a sucker for those big brown eyes! liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn04 liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn05 Isabella’s realization that she could eat the cake was hilarious. She kept looking at her parents to see if they were going to say anything – while simultaneously shoving handfuls of cake in her mouth. liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn11 liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn06 liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn07 I love these two photographs, just completely covered in cake. So much fun!! liz_czinege_photography_child_newborn08

Alexis | One Year | Niagara Child Photographer

liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer8 liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer2I’m always a little sad when babies come in for their birthday session – the last in my Baby’s First Year package.

It’s so great watching them grow and reach new milestones. We planned a vintage theme for Alexis’ portraits, using a rug and birdcage from her bedroom I love the way these came out.

This regularly very happy girl was a bit of a mama suck during her session – and almost impossible to get to smile! However after asking mom to “take a walk” and a bit of convincing she came around and gave me some smiles. liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer9 I’m in love with this portrait of Lex and her moms tears told me she was too. liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer3liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer6 All the little details. liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer5 liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer4liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer12 Alexis found the records – and she loved them. I can’t say I blame her, if you don’t like records your crazy! liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer1

Isabella | 9 Months | Hamilton Child Photographer

liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer004 Isabella is part of my Baby’s First Year family, and recently she was back in front of my camera for her 9 month session. I must say, that headband is getting a little small! I’ve loved watching her grow, I’m going to be sad once I complete her first year and I don’t get to see her every 3 months! liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer005 liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer001 liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer002 Isabella is usually a very serious baby, but she had some real belly laughs for my this time, such a sweetie! liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer006 Look at those little teeth, adorable!liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer003

Alexis | 9 Months | Niagara Child Photographer

liz_czinege_niagara_hamilton_child_photographer01 Alexis is part of my Baby’s First Year family. I can’t believe that I only have one session left, this year has flown by! These are some of my favourite portraits from her nine month session. Her mom and I came up with this vintage theme for her First Year. I’m excited to show you what we have planned for her Birthday portraits!!

Isabella | 6 Months | Hamilton Child Photographer

liz_czinege_newborn_child_photographer_hamilton_niagara04Isabella is growing quick! Last week she was in the studio for her 6 Month portraits! liz_czinege_newborn_child_photographer_hamilton_niagara03 liz_czinege_newborn_child_photographer_hamilton_niagara02 Who doesn’t love to eat their feet?!
liz_czinege_newborn_child_photographer_hamilton_niagara05 liz_czinege_newborn_child_photographer_hamilton_niagara01 It takes a bit of work to get Isabella to smile, she’s such a serious baby. But when she does, it’s totally worth it! liz_czinege_newborn_child_photographer_hamilton_niagara06
