Baby 'E' {Niagara Newborn Photography}

I recently met 10-day-old baby 'E' from Cambridge who was a little doll!  I was SO excited to have a little girl to photograph since it's been a long time since the last one... I was just dying to use these pretty little headbands I had recently ordered! :)
We had the temperature in the house set really warm so she'd be happy being unclothed...amazingly, she still felt cool to the touch while her mommy and I were sweating buckets (well, at least I was!)  But she was happy (for the most part) and that's what matters! :)
Congratulations again J & A on your little princess!! :)

Waiting for Baby {Niagara Maternity Photographer}

This was a very special maternity session for two reasons...Angela and I have been friends since we were 5 years old...a long long time! :)  I have many wonderful memories of our childhood together...including playing 'house' where I ALWAYS had a baby girl and she ALWAYS had a baby boy (and sometimes, we used my cat as one of our babies).  (Who knew 25 years later, I would have a boy and her little girl would be on her way!!)

The second reason this was special to me was that she had asked me about 15 or so months ago if I would do her maternity photos as she was nearing the 5 month mark.  But suddenly oneday, Vic and Angela lost their first precious baby girl.  When we had just spoken about doing maternity photos, now we were suddenly seeing each other at the funeral of their daughter, Ellarie Violet.

Now baby girl #2 is on her way, and though it's been a long hard road for them with the grief from losing their first baby and the anxieties that would come with a pregnancy following something like that, her due date is just around the corner!  Anytime now, they'll be starting an amazing life with their sweet baby girl!! 

Ang and Vic, I'm SO excited for both of you and felt completely honoured that you asked me to capture this special time for you! :)  You're going to make such wonderful parents!!

Sweet Baby 'C' {Niagara Newborn Photographer}

I met 11-day-old baby 'C' a couple of weeks ago and had such a great time photographing this family.  Their home was perfect for this with the floor to ceiling windows, and I joked about bringing other clients by for their photo sessions...it was perfect! 
You'd never know by the following pictures that we were trying hard to get baby C to sleep for the first little while...but once he fell asleep, he was out and did such a great job!  I also knew (from having met this couple once about 4 or 5 years ago) that photographing this mom would be super easy...she's just gorgeous!
Congratulations again, T and K, on your adorable baby boy!

A Busy Busy Girl {Niagara Child Photography}

Sweet little 'E' made me work hard for her 9 month photoshoot!  The only way I could her to hold still was by sticking her in a basket!  :)  She was SO eager to explore everything that was around us (including my camera)...as soon as I'd sit her down on the floor, she was crawling away before I could even blink!  I had forgotten how tricky this age can be to photograph! :)
But here she is (in a basket) looking so incredibly sweet...what a little pumpkin she is!

Baby 'L' {Niagara Newborn Photographer}

Meet Baby 'L'...who arrived just in time for Christmas!  Such a precious little Christmas baby who was WONDERFULLY sleepy! :)
I went to High School with his parents and hadn't seem them in a LONG time...so it was so great catching up with them.  They were and still are two of the most genuine people I've ever met...B&C, your little 'mini' is a sweetheart and congratulations again to you both!

Baby 'M' {Niagara-on-the-Lake Newborn Photographer}

Baby M was a sweet little 3-week-old...he was a little bit older than the age that I normally photograph newborns because he had to spend the first little bit of his life at McMaster Hospital.  But he's home now, healthy and sweet as ever. 
He stayed awake for most of the time, but fell asleep near the end...and was quite content throughout the whole session.  And his adorable big brother had no problem being affectionate toward him when we asked him too...I absolutely LOVE sibling shots! :)
Congratulations R and J on a second sweet little boy!

Princess 'E' is 6 Months Old {Niagara Child Photographer}

Sweet little baby 'E' came back for her 6 month photoshoot!  She was sooooo cute!  She didn't want to share too many of those adorable smiles until the very end, but she was still so content and sooo adorable! 





The sweetest little lioness around...
