The 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! 
So snuggly! 
Newborn piggies! 
Lukas looks like the Thinker in this image. So cute! 
Aleks and Brian are letting me join them during the first year of their baby’s life! I will be capturing maternity, newborn, 3 months, 9 months and one year portraits of their little guy. I can’t wait! For their maternity session they were up for anything. We took a drive along my favourite road stopping occasionally to take some portraits and get eaten by mosquitoes. And then we headed to the beach. 
When I said they were up for anything, I mean anything! I was so excited when Aleks agreed to go in the water. I’ve never had a Mama brave enough to hop in but I think all three of us are glad she did! The images of Aleks are stunning. (*Air Five* to Brian for hopping in the water too and helping out!)
It is hard to choose my favourite image from this session but this one is definitely up there! 
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! 
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!
I love capturing the serious look on kids faces when they’re staring right at the camera, there is just something about it. 
Hehehe, love that little chin!
Here’s a little triptych of his growth to date; see you in another 3 months little man!
Nicholas was in the studio for his 3 months portraits as part of his “Baby’s First Year” Package. It feels like yesterday that I was waiting to hear of his arrival and now he’s already 3 months old! I can’t believe how much he looks like his sister Isabella.
Nicholas did so well keeping his head up, such a strong boy!!
See you in a couple months!
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! 
Dad was able to make it to Isabella’s last session and she had nothing but smiles for him – usually she’s VERY serious.
I’m a sucker for those big brown eyes! 
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. 
I love these two photographs, just completely covered in cake. So much fun!! 
I’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. 
I’m in love with this portrait of Lex and her moms tears told me she was too. 
All the little details. 
Alexis found the records – and she loved them. I can’t say I blame her, if you don’t like records your crazy!

I can’t believe it has already been three months since I photographed Madilynn when she was 8 days old. It is crazy how quickly they change, I absolutely LOVE doing these side by side comparisons! You may also recognize this superstar baby from my Behind the Lens video. (Check it out here if you haven’t!)
I am in love with Madilynn’s eyes, they’re just GORGEOUS! The entire time I was editing I couldn’t get over her eyes, I can’t get enough of this little one!
Madilynn just began laughing and during our session I was able to capture a full-out belly laugh – so great. Her mama loved this one! 
I am excited to capture her first year, I can imagine that this time is going to fly by, sorry mama! But I can’t wait to watch her grow!
It has been such an honour to capture Max’s milestones during his first year of life. Max had his first portrait session when he was just 5 days old. As he grew over the following months he quickly became thee happiest baby I have ever met! He always had a lot of smiles for me, making my job SO easy!
A few weeks ago Max celebrated his first birthday. It is always bittersweet to complete these First Year projects, but I can’t wait to share a collection of portraits from Max’s first year with all of you!

I’m at a loss for what to say about these beautiful photos.
It has been such a pleasure watching Allie grow this past year. I first photographed her when she was only 6 days old! Her parents were so sweet to have thought of me to document the beginning of their new baby’s life.
Now a year and four photo shoots later; Allie is celebrating her 1st birthday. We had so much fun with a pink and white themed birthday portrait session. This girls smile can light up anyone’s world!
I hope you enjoy watching Allie grow through her portraits as much as I have!
