Isabella | Ancaster Child Photographer

Isabella turned three recently and we celebrated with her eighth portrait session! I am so honoured that I have had the opportunity to document her growth. It’s been so fun seeing her personally change and develop through her portraits. She was SO silly for these portraits, and I love it!  This face is the cutest! See you next year Isabella!

Ava | Niagara Child Photographer

liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton01 Ava is one and she celebrated with portraits and a cake smash! And by she I mean her mom and dad, because really.. Ava had no idea what was going on but she did know that she wasn’t a fan of it. I got quite a few evil eyes from her throughout the session but they were so cute I forgave her 😉liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton02 liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton03 liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton05liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton04 liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton06 liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton07 liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton08 liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton09 The lighting wasn’t the greatest but I couldn’t pass up a portrait in front of the beautiful sunflowers! liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton10 How adorable does Ava look in this tutu?!
liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton11 heheh, baby belly buttons. liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton12 Gorgeous setup for Ava’s cake smash. I love when ideas come together! This is exactly what mom and I had in mind during our pre-consultation!liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton13 liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton14 The many faces of Ava. Throughout the sessions Ava was KILLING me with her hilarious faces. Editing her portraits was definitely amusing, bottom right takes the cake though, I think she had enough cake!liz_czinege_child_photographer_niagara_hamilton15

As you all probably know, I am a sucker for a strong black and white portrait and it doesn’t get much better than these two! I love the pure emotion expressed in these images. So much love.

This one portrait took an hour to achieve, but it was 100% worth it!!! liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_08They’re just the sweetest, look at them! I can’t wait to watch them grow. liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_07

McKenna | Niagara Newborn Photographer

liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_01 McKenna was hands down thee best baby I have photographed to date! She slept for the entire 2 hour session, stayed in her poses and when she wasn’t sleeping she was happily laying on the blanket – wait for it – SMILING at me. liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_02liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_04 All her little bits, so mom and dad don’t forget. They grow so quickly!liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_05 liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_06 On top of being a perfect baby to pose, she is also way too adorable. Like com’mon, look at her hair! liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_07 liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_08 McKenna’s room is blue – and I for one LOVE it. It matched perfectly with my little bucket. Two years later I finally got to use it!liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_09 I wasn’t joking when I said McKenna was smiling at me – those are not gas grins. She legitimately is smiling, it’s amazing! liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_10 liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_15 liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_16

Mama and baby – plus that little grin, ahhhhh.liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_13 I’m a sucker for a good black and white portrait. liz_czinege_newborn_photographer_hamilton_niagara_14Dad wasn’t photo-ready, but that just means that I have to come back when McKenna is a bit older for family portraits. (I secretly not so secretly can’t wait to watch McKenna grow, she’s going to be one gorgeous girl!)
