Waterloo Newborn Photographer - Snuggly little guy

I had the pleasure of shooting this newborn session in Hanna and Chris' Waterloo home.  I met Hanna and Chris when they signed up for the Kate's Kause Cycling Team that my husband organizes to help out the charity (and it's a good excuse for him to ride a little more often).  I was so excited to hear they were expecting this spring and even more excited to hear that their baby boy had arrived.  Little C was 8 days old when I photographed him - and completely adorable!  Although he didn't sleep much, we got some amazing shots of him with his parents.  I love seeing new families together and it really is an honour to capture such amazing moments.

Hanna and Chris, I hope you are settling in to your new life as a family of three.  It was wonderful to photograph your awesome family (and chat too).  Can't wait to see you more this summer!

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!

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.

Update: Oroth and Angela have welcomed 2 beautiful girls!

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.

Kitchener Newborn Photographer: Little Miss O

I was exceptionally excited to meet Nicole's newest addition at the end of December.  After arriving several weeks early, little O caught us a bit off-guard and we planned to move up her newborn session.  Ok - so I wasn't so much caught off-guard.  It was all her mother dealing with the unexpected broken water and the surprise that went along with it.  Really, I had nothing to do with that.

But "O" was the picture of perfection as we moved her, posed her, put her in baskets, snuggled her up with her mom's baby doll and placed her on top of adorable blankets and hats by snickelfritz knits.  She co-operated while her mom and I giggled and remarked at how adorable she was.

Nicole, it was a pleasure to see you again and meet your little lady.  I'm so happy with the results.  Can't wait to see her as she grows up!  Congratulations on your adorable little one.

Elmira Children's Photographer. My {not so} little girl

My little girl isn't so little anymore.  I asked her if I could take a few photos of her when I was setting up the studio this past weekend.  Here are a few of my fave shots.

Waterloo Wedding Photography. Matt & Leslie

Leslie stood, laughing while she waited for her turn to walk down the aisle.  Today was her very favourite, most wonderful day ever.  Today she married her best friend.  Today she met him at the end of the aisle.  Today she chose to spend the rest of her life with her match.  Matthew and Leslie are a perfect match.  Like two covers of a book, they meet with a volume of stories in between, forever linking them together.

Their wedding took place on a dreary Saturday afternoon five years to the day from when they first met.  This is why today is Leslie's favourite day.

Matthew and Leslie, your wedding was gorgeous and classy and wonderful to be a part of.  I was so happy to photograph my two friends as they added another chapter to their lives.  Enjoy New York.  Can't wait to hear all about it.

Elmira Family Photographer. The Houston Family

I am just in love with this family. We were scheduled to meet on a Saturday evening, but after the skies opened up, we decided to reschedule.  And our "rain date" didn't prove to be much better.  But then something glorious happened - the clouds cleared and the sun popped out (if only for a while) and we co-ordinated via email to meet early.  For a photographer who depends on the quality of the light for outdoor shoots, sometimes I'm at the mercy of mother nature.  But this family understood and was right there with me - even through a little rain shower (check out the second to last image below - raindrops everywhere).  Their flexibility and go-with-the-flow nature made for some awesome photos and one of my favourite sessions! 

Mary Beth and Sam - your family is fantastic and I had the best time with the girls.  They've grown up into wonderful little ladies.  Hope you are loving these images as much as I am! Enjoy
