Occasionally I get asked to do sessions outside of the Niagara Region, Jamisyn was SO worth the drive to Toronto! She rocked every pose, in newborn terms – she didn’t move! Not to mention she is the sweetest little girl, I just wanted to keep snuggling her after her session was over. She’s got the most adorable little features. 
It was refreshing photographing a girl after so many boys, but Jamisyn did not love having headbands on, it was the only time she stirred while I was posing her.
Mom didn’t want anything too girly, I think this is the perfect amount!
Parents always love these open eyed portraits. Jamisyn kept her hand perfectly posed!
Jamisyn’s big sister had a newborn portrait hanging on the wall in a similar pose, so I couldn’t help myself, I had to recreate it! Aren’t those cheeks perfectly squishable?!

I’ve been waiting 8 months to do this session! Conan’s parents are good friends of mine, and I knew about him even before his Dad did. One of the perks of being a photographer who photographs pregnancy announcements!! Conan is just as sweet as can be. He was more interested in eating than being a part of this session, but that’s okay. Typically I don’t love wrapped shots because I prefer to see their sweet newborn skin, but they’re growing on me! They’re a great way to start the session when baby isn’t completely asleep yet. 
That pout though – hands up if you just made a pouty face too!
This was an in-between moment, which I usually wouldn’t photograph, but I loved the way his hair looked so long on his arm! 
I LOVE this black and white image. 
Conan ROCKED this pose! It was one of the only poses that his mom requested – and the hardest to get! Unless they are completely 100% asleep I won’t even attempt it. The final image looks completely different from the in camera images. It’s a composite of 2 different photographs put together, so baby is supported at all times. 
I so wish more women did maternity sessions. One of the comments I hear most often is that they want to wait until the baby comes to do portraits. A valid reason – why invest in portraits without the newest addition in them? However more often than not, once the baby comes and you’re on your 5th, 6th, 7th day of sleep deprivation – having your portrait taken with your little one doesn’t sound so appealing. The time and energy it takes to shower, put on makeup (to hide the exhaustion) and pull yourself together is too much and parents opt to do portraits of the baby by themselves.
Hayley REALLY made me work for some real smiles, I’m happy she let loose for a few cause that dimple is adorable! The “Okay, now give me a fake laugh” never fails me. The fake awkward laugh gives way to a real smile. 
Guhhhh, this girl is way too beautiful and perfect skin to boot, not even fair!
As much as I love dresses for maternity sessions, I really enjoy doing a couple casual images as well. 
We did this session at 
Everly is an expressive little girl. From the minute she was born she has been her own person. Looking at her you can’t help but think she has such an old soul. Throughout her first year I captured her newborn, 4 month, 9 month and 1 year portraits! Everly’s mom and I came up with a theme for her portraits that we carried throughout the year. They are perfect for her personality! 
When Tara suggested a teepee, my first thought “great, now I have to figure out how to make a teepee” but I think it turned out pretty good! I came across the doily hoops in my closet the day before the session and knew I had to include them!
Everly is so sweet with her littler hands. She really knows how to work them!
“In between” portraits. I love Everly’s hands in the right image, reminds me of the emoji – cracks me up every time I see it. 
4 Months and One Year, quite the difference. I can never believe how fast time goes by.
Sometimes after a successful portraits session you need to throw on a little “Burning Man” by Dierks and have a dance party! Although I LOVE Dierks – this was Everly’s favourite and had nothing to do with me. Can’t say I minded! 
On a snowy day in January I drove to Port Colborne to photograph William. When I arrived Mom and Dad had a fire going in the fireplace, it was nice and cozy for little William – and me! Is there anything better than a real wood fire?!! At 6 pounds and 19 inches, you would never know that he was born more than a month early. 
That little tuff of hair. Too cute not to capture! 
When I saw a bunch of buffalo plaid in the house I knew I had to incorporate it into William’s portraits. 
This family is so sweet. I’m happy that Dad agreed to be in a couple portraits. William had some smiles for us too!
I love capturing all their little details. 
Wide-eyed and content. 
Isaac posed himself, he’s a professional already!
I love this colour green with his red hair, goes together perfectly! 
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 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….
AND she had so many smiles! Come ON! How adorable is this?! 
I can’t wait to watch Naomi grow! 
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! 
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!
