Baby Joshua {Niagara Newborn Photographer}

I met up with 3-week-old baby Joshua and his mommy and daddy (I first met Kevin and Michelle about 12 years ago at our Church youth group, but we haven't seen each other since) just a few weeks before Christmas.  Three weeks is a little older than I normally like doing newborn photos, so I was a teeny bit nervous about how it would go...but he did awesome!  He was very cooperative!  And I thoroughly enjoyed my morning (having a mini reunion) with Kev and Michelle.

This is one sweet (and very loving) couple.  Whenever I do newborn photos, I usually do at least a few of the mommy and daddy kissing, and whenever I do, the conversation usually goes something like this:

Me:  "okay, let's get a kissing shot."
Baby's mommy & daddy: (quick kiss)
Me:  "oh wait, can you hold it a bit longer? I missed it."

And that's about it...this is how it went with Kevin and Michelle:

Me: "okay, let's get a kissing shot."
Michelle: (looking at Kev with a big smile on her face) "okay!"
Kevin & Michelle: (KISS, kiss, kiss, kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiss, KISS KISS, kiss kiss kiss) (kiss) ...
Me (interrupting): okay guys...good job...I think I got..."
Kevin & Michelle: (kiss kiss kiss, KISS)
Me (laughing): nice work guys...I think I got a few
Michelle: "can we try that again?"
:)

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Goertz Family {Niagara Family Photographer}

In celebration of Bill and Becky's 15th wedding anniversary, we met up last Saturday to do some photos of their family of five.  The girls were so much fun and just made me laugh! 

Our families got together one evening back in August (as Becky and I are cousins) and my 3-year-old had such a blast with their girls.  He saw me editing one of the pictures of the 3 girls and he got SO excited!  He couldn't remember their names, but he definitely remembered the fun he had had with them! :)

Happy Anniversary Bill and Becky - I think these capture your family well :)

The Amodeo Family {Niagara Family Photography}

I first met the Amodeo family one year ago to do a newborn session of their newest baby boy...then we met a few weeks ago on his 1st birthday for some family photos!  These are 2 very sweet (and very well-behaved) boys! 

This was probably the fastest session I've ever done...it was SO chilly!  The boys were huddled in blankets and then we whipped those blankets off so fast, and shot away before it was time for another huddle! :)  Despite the cold and the sniffles, they were still so happy (and mommy and daddy did great too!)

It was so nice seeing the 4 of you again (and Happy 1st Birthday, again, to your sweet little guy!)

The Koole Family {St. Catharines Family Photographer}

This was my fourth time photographing the Koole Family and they are definitely a very cool family! :)  Those little boys are so so so adorable, and there's a whole lot of LOVE amongst these guys. 

It was super nice seeing you four again! :)

Baby Charlotte {Niagara Falls Newborn Photographer}

Meet baby Charlotte - just 7 days new.  I have never seen so much hair on a newborn baby...she was so beautiful! :)  The day of our session was quite gloomy and rainy, but after spending a few hours with this little sunshine, it just made my day so much better!

Congratulations again, Jay and Melissa on your precious baby girl! :)

The Bourgeois Family {St. Catharines Family Photographer}

Last weekend, I had the priviledge of meeting and photographing this sweet family.  Prior to the session, I was 'warned' about busy little 'J' and that it may be a bit of a challenge...he was definitely busy, but SO cute! :)  He had a favourite stick that he found that made it into A LOT of the pictures (I'm actually surprised how few of these have the stick in them!) :)

Andrea is a great wedding and portrait photographer...if you're a bride-to-be and you're looking for a photographer, check out her work here.

It was nice meeting the three of you, and thanks for allowing me to capture some memories for your family! :) 

Baby Cohen {St. Catharines Newborn Photographer}

Meet baby Cohen, just 7 days new! :)  He was absolutely delicious and definitely my most 'curly' baby yet!  We got so many good shots, I had a hard time choosing which ones to post here...so there's a bunch! :)

His big sister was thrilled to have a real little doll to call her own...she was SO excited to show me her new baby.

Congratulations, once again, Jon and Heather on your sweet baby boy! :)

Baby Mason {Niagara Newborn Photographer}

Meet baby Mason...just 11 days new!  He slept the entire time and was so perfect!  I think I must have said 100 or so times "I love his lips"...I just couldn't help myself!  :)
Congratulations Sean and Stephanie on your sweet baby boy!
