Little River was full of smiles and put up quite the fight. But we got the sweetest open eyed portraits of this handsome little man. 
I loved taking portraits of River and his big sister. She loves her little brother so much!
Bright eyed and adorable. 
I am so amused by these portraits. River decided to poop – without a diaper – mid pose. Priceless!
I’m so happy for this beautiful family. I can’t wait to see them again.
I photographed Monica’s maternity portraits and was so excited to meet Naomi! She is the sweet little babe! Her features are so sweet I just wanted to snuggle her for the entire session! I photographed her session Thanksgiving Monday, her grandparents and their visitors were having brunch Caesars – and one was waiting for me when I finished the session – BEST CLIENTS EVER! They’re my FAV, and my post wedding ritual. Can every newborn session end with a Caesar? Mmmmmm….
Naomi was so content while she was awake and being posed, which rarely happens, and made for some adorable portraits! 
AND she had so many smiles! Come ON! How adorable is this?! 
I can’t wait to watch Naomi grow! 
Cole is ONE! Wow. What a year it has been. It seems like yesterday that I was photographing Cole’s newborn portraits – and here we are at his cake smash birthday session! 
Doesn’t he have the best blue eyes?! Gorgeous! 
After the cake smash we called in the clean up crew. Maple is the best big sister ever!
Sigh, when did my little niece become and adult! Talk about 9 going on 19. One of the benefits of buying all of her clothes is that I get to dress her however I want – which is usually exactly like me. I wish this outfit came in my size. (Who am I kidding. I also have that vest, thanks Old Navy!) I drive by this field so often and was struck by how beautiful the purple flowers were so I couldn’t help myself! 
She gets it from me. #sorrynotsorry
I love this carefree laugh. 
Geesh!! STOP GROWING UP! At every stage I think it’s the best age ever and then the next stage happens and THAT is the best age ever. Smart, kind, sassy and such an old soul. I just love this kid so much! 
Little Harper was in the studio a couple weeks ago. Such a teeny little girl with the sweetest features! She was so good to me, I loved this session!
I was so happy that I finally got to use this headband! Who says baby girls can’t be photographed in blue? 
Safe in Daddy’s arms. 
This family is so sweet!

A late night blog post because I really can not help myself! Everly is 9 months old – and she gets cuter by the day! Her mama got lost trying to find this field – too many times to count – she called me, Everly SCREAMING in the backseat and I thought to myself “oh boy, here we go”. Eventually I went to find her and she followed me to this field. Everly came out of the van with a smile on her face. The shoot started an hour later than it was supposed to, but that meant that the sun was PERFECT. This session could not have worked out any better! Kudos to Tara for not letter her frustration come through and transfer to Everly. 
This girls eyes – just stunning!
I never post straight out of camera images. I always adjust the colour and brightness to suit my personal style, but this image was just way too perfect not to share as is. 
After a short little drive we ended up here, fit so perfectly with the theme we have going for her first year sessions. 
Her mom made this dress because she couldn’t find what she was picturing in a store. SO PERFECT. 
I love Everly’s eye squint, her big sister does the same thing when she is really happy! 
Ahhh, one more session to go to complete her first year package. But I’m not sure how I can top these. She was so perfect!
These babies are so loved! I’m honoured to have captured these maternity portraits for Brittany and Bill who are expecting TWINS in December after 4 years of IVF. We had so many laughs during their session. Brittany you are GLOWING. Such a beauty – Bill you’re a lucky guy!! 
These two are going to be amazing parents! So much love for each other! 
Best of luck Brittany! I can’t wait to see these two little ones!
On one of the hottest days of the summer I had the honour of photographing this gorgeous family. Thanks for sticking it out in the heat and being so patient! Little Jessa took 45 minutes to warm up to me and wanted NOTHING to do with the session. Which made for some real adorable pouty faces. 
The sweetest siblings! 
These candid photographs are my favourite!
Doing anything to get Jessa engaged in the session. 
Jessa’s little hands, so adorable!
I had a lot of fun with you guys. Thanks for not judging me while I made a fool of my self trying to win Jessa over!
