KW Newborn Photographer. Musical baby

I'm seriously in love looking at these in-home newborn photos I did of this little man.  He gave me a run for my money at the start, but Dad is going to love these guitar images we managed to capture.  So awesome!

Safety Note: Mom was fully supporting baby while he was on the guitar.  I removed her hands in post-production to create the final image.

Waterloo Baby Photographer. Baby's first year

I have to tell you how much I love my Baby's First Year Program.  I cannot tell you how wonderful it has been to work with a family for an entire year and capture their beautifully changing baby.  This little peanut was such a joy to work with and I'm excited to see her smiling face again as I photograph her newborn sister for the next year!  Please enjoy a few from Miss L's first year.

I started the baby's first year many years ago and it has morphed and changed as I discovered what my clients are really looking for.  Right now, I visit them each month and photograph their baby.  We also do a full family session between the first and second birthday.  Parents have choice and options for how they'd like to enjoy their photographs.  My most popular item is a baby's first year book and I often incorporate milestones and special dates throughout the book.  Stay tuned for a product reveal soon.

KW Newborn Photography. Real Moments

Sometimes during a session, I experience amazing moments between families.  They take my breath away.  They make me feel so much pride in what I do and what I give to my clients and their families.

At this wonderful newborn session, I captured an image that truly made me pause.  Is it perfectly perfect from a technical point of view? Probably not.  Is it perfectly perfect still? YES!

This sweet big sister was just loving on her new baby sister and wow.  This is why I do what I do. These real moments between people who love each other so much just blow me away every.single.time.

Waterloo Newborn Photographer. Collaboration

When Rebecca asked me if I would help her learn more about posing newborns, I couldn't say no.  After all she has helped me out several different times, from assisting to modelling for commercial shoots.  Plus she's so darn fun to work with.  And her kids...well gorgeous.  So here we are at her home, hot and sweaty from both the weather and the space heater keeping little E warm.  We walked through my "flow posing" with newborns and how I pose with older siblings and then Rebecca came up with this great concept for a breastfeeding photo - which turned out absolutely beautiful.

Thank you Rebecca for showing me a thing or two and for the awesome collaborative feel from this session.  You are a stunning, glowing mama and would love to teach or collaborate with you anytime!  Here are a few of my favourite images.

Kitchener Newborn Photographer. Where miracles happen

When I arrive at my clients' home for their newborn session, I take a quick peek around to find the best possible light for the session. I've worked in family rooms, kitchens and even hallways - It's all about the light. But once in a while I find the best spot in the bedroom. And for this family, it meant even more because that's where little W was born. Right at home with dad and family and their midwife bringing him into the world. And mom - well she rocked it! So this session was special to them. W was fussy and awake and not feeling it when I first arrived, but with a little patients and some cuddles and feeding, he settled and we went to work. These are some of my very favourite newborn images.

Nick and Shana, thank you for welcoming me into your home. Your family is amazing and kind and I loved working with you. Please enjoy a few of my favourites from your session.

Elmira Newborn Photographer. Loved From Head to Toe

Christmas has come and gone, however I was fortunate enough to work with a special organization this year.  Loved From Head To Toe is a newly registered charity hand knitting beautiful Santa hats for NICU babies.  Everyone needs a little Christmas cheer.

Back in the fall, we invited 4 new babies to my home studio to photograph them in LFH2T Santa hats for use in their marketing, website and fundraising campaigns.  It was a fun session with lots of mommy talk and 4 beautiful little babies.

Congratulations to LFH2T for being granted full charitable status.  They continue to seek donations (financial, yarns, knitters) for their continued projects.

Guelph Family Photographer. From belly to baby

Ahhh!  I just love this family.  They are so kind, friendly, and pretty much wonderful.  I was so honoured to photograph baby H when he was still inside mommy's tummy (and it wasn't known whether he was a boy or girl - at least to me) and then again once he arrived!

We spent an evening at Riverside Park in Guelph and ran around in the grass and played on the playground and I found a beautiful spot along the trail to photograph sweet little S - those curls!

Then I came back to their home for H's newborn session when he was less than 2 weeks old.  He needed lots of feeding and cuddling and so I had some time to photograph their 9 year old lab and of course sweet S again.  We also needed some time for clean up when, not once, but twice, H decided to wee on daddy.

Rebecca and Chris,  Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home.  I really appreciate your kind words about my photography, my business and listening to my sometimes crazy ideas.  Your feedback is invaluable and I will continue to use the word "artistic-ey" and credit you, Chris.  Please enjoy a few of my favourites from our 2 sessions.

Elmira Newborn Photographer. Big Brothers

To say I've neglected, forgotten paused from the blog over the last couple months is a huge understatement.  Honestly, just like all of you, my August and September are very busy prepping and starting the back to school routine again.  But here I am, back at the blogging and with two gorgeous newborn sessions.And both with older brothers!

I love newborns and being able to create stunning wall pieces for my clients.  These sessions were just as fun to capture the baby as it was to capture the older, and very energetic brothers.

Please enjoy a few of my favourites.

Elmira family photographer. In the home, and on the go, go, go

I'm pretty sure this family is excited about the photographs on their walls as I am.  I had the pleasure to photograph their two children during my Christmas card special and when #3 arrived in the new year, I headed to their place for his newborn session.  I chased the older kids around and photographed them in their element - their own home, their own rooms and playing with their toys.  Then they had some downtime with dad and mom and I focused on capturing some stunning shots of baby R.  It all boiled down to an amazing session and the result was beautiful pieces of art on their walls.

Renee and Jimmy,  Thank you for inviting me into your home to freeze those moments for you.  Your appreciation of my work and your relaxed nature truly made for some stunning family images.  I can't wait until next year to do it all over again!  Please enjoy a few of my favourites.
