Windsor Newborn Photography

Meaghan and I had been friends our whole lives and although I probably haven't seen her more than once or twice in the last 15 years.  When I saw her for her son's newborn session, it was like it had been 15 minutes.  It was so wonderful to see her and her family again.  Honestly it was like nothing had changed.

Susan - Thank you for inviting me to share capture these moments with your grandson.  It was absolutely wonderful for me. I really appreciate your trust in me!

Meaghan, your son is beautiful and lovely and so wonderful.  Enjoy him.

Here is Meaghan's announcement for her new little man!

Waterloo Newborn Photographer.

Jamie had received a voucher for a free session as part of a Mother's day promotion I did with a local coffee shop.  She was very excited to use it when her new baby arrived.  At the time of our session, little A was less than a week old (my favourite time for newborns) and she was a beauty! A gorgeous little girl.  Aside from a few pauses for feedings, little A was pure magic and quite easy to photograph.

Jamie - thank you so much for trusting me to capture your beautiful daughter.  It was a pleasure chatting with you and getting to know you.  Please enjoy a few of my faves.

Kitchener newborn photography - Adorable fireman

Little J was born early and I was excited to meet this little fireman.  Since he was early and had to spend a little time in the NICU, he was past my usual 5-9 day rule.  In order to get the curly, sleepy poses with a baby, you have to photograph them within the first 9 or so days of life.  After that they are more alert and their muscles start to stretch out and they don't like being curled up as much. But Jacob was supposed to be inside his mama's tummy for another week or so, and I was glad to break my rule for this cutie.

Sarah and Shawn,  your little man is absolutely adorable and it was my honour to photograph him!  I loved learning more about you both and I can't wait to see him grow up!  Hope he is sleeping for you!  Please enjoy a few of my faves from our session.

Little Toes - Waterloo Children's Photographer

Becky had contacted me because she wanted to capture little Cs toes - his chubby little feet and the way they made her smile.  She worried that she would forget what they looked like and how she adored them as he grew into a boy from a baby.   So we settled on a wonderful outdoor family session on The Walter Bean trail near Grey Silo Golf Course in Waterloo, On.  The warm sun was perfect!  And it it made little As hair glow!

Becky and Kevin, it was wonderful to capture some really great images of you and your family.  The kids were amazingly cooperative and made my job look easy!  I hope you are enjoying all of your images!  Here are a few of my faves!

Elmira Photographer

I knew I hadn't written a post in a while, but I didn't know it had almost been a month...sheesh, get it together, Karen.

Anyway, I have some exciting stuff that I've been working on and getting ready for the busy summer season.  New packaging, products, services...there have been a lot of changes.  And all these are going to make me a better photographer and provide a better service to my clients - whom I adore btw.

So here's a little sneak peak at some of my new packaging!  This is a client's 16x16 framed print and their complimentary digital file.  Did you know every print you purchase comes with a digital file?  It's the best of both worlds.  And there's lots more packaging to show you soon!

Have a wonderful long weekend friends!

Waterloo Children's Photographer: Two little personalities, Two little beauties

These two little gorgeous girls hold a special place in my heart.  They are the brand new twins of my very good friends.  And already their little personalities are starting to show.  Little N is laid back, relaxed and up for anything.  Sweet, little Q is a more sensitive to what's going on around her, likes to be VERY warm and cozy (none of that naked baby stuff for her).  All this made for an exceptionally fun photo shoot.  Although, I'm not going to lie - I was nervous the night before.  Afterall, how do you get two little babies, with two personalities to be sleepy enough at the same time to get the super-amazing-fantastic-wonderful shot I had hoped for.  The answer is patience and a space heater! 

But seriously now - the girls were incredible for their first (of many) photo shoots and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Oroth and Angela, it was amazing to see you in action.  You are going to be the best parents those girls could ever ask for!  I'm so elated for you!  Please enjoy a few of my favourite shots!
