Elmira Children's Photographer. My kids on the wall

As a children's photographer, my walls should be filled with images of my kids, but the truth is I'm really busy taking care of my business, my clients and my family.  And I'm missing that.  I'm missing seeing their beautiful faces on my walls.  I'm missing showing off their connection to one another and to Joe and I.  And I'm missing showing off their cuteness. 

So as I've made it my mission to ensure my clients images end up on their walls, I've started to do the same in my house.  I recently purchased 3 canvases to display on my livingroom wall; one of each of their beautiful faces.  I love it, I love it, I love it!

These are, by far, the best canvas products I've seen.  Local, lovely and so beautifully created by the talented folks at Photo Media Decor.  I recently took a tour of their work space and true care is taken when creating these beautiful pieces of art.

Here are a few shots of these awesome pieces.

Waterloo Maternity Photographer: Two Babies!

Angela felt nervous, slightly uncomfortable and a little hesitant before her maternity session last week.  Oroth was excited to capture this beautiful moment in their lives.  Naturally having two babies inside you very near to the end of your pregnancy means you don't feel the most glamorous and graceful - but the truth is all mamas-to-be look amazing to me.  They look beautiful and glowey and absolutely stunning.  And Angela is no exception.

We met at their Waterloo home and spent some time in their living room, nursery and backyard.  We made sure Momo wasn't left out either.

Angela, you look incredible and I can't wait to meet your two sweeties so very soon! Oroth, you will make an amazing dad.  Please enjoy a few of my favourite shots.

Waterloo Children's Photographer: A little snow and a few smiles

Ahhhhh! I love this family!  I'm so sad that they are leaving the province, but happy that they are going to experience a new adventure.

The week before they left, we met one more time to get some great family winter shots.

It was a chilly, windy day and little A needed some snuggles - but mom and dad didn't mind.

Kristy and Derek - It has been wonderful getting to know you and photograph your growing family.  I wish you all the best as you settle into your new home. Please enjoy a few of my favourites!

Elmira Children's Photographer. Fun, jumping, and big personalities

Five year old K skipped and jumped and told me how excited she was the moment I came in the door.  "We're not ready, yet"  She stated, As I lugged my bags into their living room.  "Don't worry, I still have to set up"  I told her.  She seemed relieved, but that didn't calm her skipping and jumping.  I immediately told her mom - this is what we want.  And that I have no expectations for behaviour - in fact, the goofier they are - the better the images.  Little G smiled and followed me as I set up my "studio on the go".  He was very helpful with some of the smaller bags!

These two cuties were so fun to photograph.  And I love how their images really showcased their personalities.

Carey, It was a pleasure to meet you and chat.  The kids were awesome and I hope you are enjoying your photos.  Here are a few of my favourites.

Elmira Children's Photographer - A New Look

After some serious thought and a little procrastination, I have finally updated my website:  A new(ish) logo, a new feel and a new me!

I really have to thank Joe, for helping me with some of the more difficult html code.  I did a little of it, but when I couldn't figure it out, he begrudgingly  happily stepped in. 

I still have a few things I need to update - look for a video homepage and updated portfolio page soon. 

Let me know what you all think - Hope you love the changes as much as I do!

Guelph Children's Photographer. little naked cutie

Little J had just woken up from her morning nap when I arrived for her 3 month session.  It brought me back to when my Charlie was 3 months old and all the things he could and couldn't do.  I wish I had more photos of him then.  This little beauty was ready to go.  She was a little shy and serious at first, but once we got her naked - look out.  She loved it! She told us stories, smiled (a ton) and was just a happy little girl.

Jill, it was so lovely to meet you and your little J.  She was a doll and I truly enjoyed our chat together.  Wishing you all the best as your little one grows!  Did I mention that I'm super jealous of your 10 hours of sleep each night?  Well, I am.  Please enjoy a few of my faves from our session.

Elmira Family Photographer. Your family on the wall

At the end of 2012, I had decided to make a change to my business (see my blog about it here).  A change that will fully serve my clients (instead of going half way - which is what I believe I was doing before).  I now include a follow up session with every photo shoot.  Together we will go through all you photos and make sure that all the images you love don't just end up on your hard drive.  We will create something amazing for you to display in your home.  I love extending my creativity to include your home and your family. 

I recently had such a session and the framed pieces arrived, the letter was painted and the sign (which is one of my faves) painted, sanded and roughed up too!  I couldn't wait to get them on the wall.

So now you no longer need to worry about how you will hang your images, where to get frames (I have 3 different styles and 7 colour choices), what other products to get (albums, metal prints, canvas gallery wraps).  I can guide you through all of the choices and help you make the most of your portrait session and help "spruce up" your home too. 

So here are the images to show you what I can create...It's not just about the portraits, but the grouping, the casual way we arranged them, the modern frame style (notice no mats) and the little extras we added to make it scream this family's personality!

If you like what you see, contact me and together, we can create something awesome for you too!
