Lovely Newborn











This tiny newborn was, without a doubt, one of my favorites to photograph to date! Not only was she exquisitely beautiful, she slept so well for us too! The images in the storyboard were shot using natural light, and the "low key" images were shot in the studio. Both light sources played beautifully upon her. And how could they not? ;)

3 Days Old




This sweet little boy, whom I had the joy of photographing earlier today, was just a mere 3 days old. Oh, and what an angel! He was so good! He slept so well, and curled up so nicely for us, allowing us to capture some beautiful images of him!

Chunkey Monkey




Earlier today I had an on-location, natural light session with this adorable 5-month-old baby and his older sister. What a little ham he was! It's so cute at this age, how they love to "eat" their fingers! It's all about discovery, and discover he did! His older sister loved the camera, and was a very willing subject. At just 4 years old, she took direction very well, and we were able to capture some sweet images.

Tiny Newborn




I absolutely loved this session! This tiny newborn, who weighed a little over 6 lbs at birth, was just the most amazingly beautiful baby! He had the most enormous newborn eyes that I've ever seen, and he looked directly into the lens, which is rare for a newborn. And, for first-time parents, his mommy and daddy were super relaxed and easy going. They really embraced the whole creative process, which helped us achieve some beautiful and powerful images.


14-Month-Old



Omgosh, this little guy was just the cutest kid ever! He had these big blue eyes and an even bigger smile. And he was so happy! Yes, ok, I did resort to my ridiculous antics at one point, but he was so easy to please. Mom brought along some adorable outfits too, which only added to the cuteness factor.

Baby On Board!




This mommy-to-be must have booked me when she was like five minutes pregnant! Lol. That's how excited she was....and is! She and her husband are expecting their first child later this month, and their enthusiasm was palpable. She was radiant and definitely glowing, and he was obviously enamored with her and her beautiful belly!

Festive Family







Yes, t'is the season! I've had lots of families recently gearing up for Christmas with portraits and holiday cards. This sweet couple and their two adorable boys, made for a...well..."picture perfect" Christmas card! Oh, and as you can see, they're expecting baby number three! One couldn't ask for a more wonderful Christmas gift!

Family Of Four




It was such a pleasure to photograph this lovely couple and their three-year-old twin daughters. And mom had them dressed to the nines, which I absolutely loved!
The first image, above, was one of my favorites. I love the sweet smile and soulfulness of the girl on the right, and her sister genuinely seemed entertained by my ridiculous antics! lol. Girls, I hope you had as much fun as I did, and that you will come visit me again sometime. :)

6 Days Old




This handsome little fellow was a mere 6 days old when I photographed him recently. What a beautiful little baby! Mom and Dad had requested simple black and white portraits, and I was more than happy to oblige. I love the poignancy of such images. They really capture the innocence, fragility, and vulnerability of a tiny newborn; and this little one was no exception. Sweet baby, you were such a little trooper! I have a feeling you will sleep very well tonight! ;)

Baby In Red




This sweet little girl, whom I had photographed last week, dropped by again yesterday for a few more pics. What a treat to welcome yet another beautiful, wide-eyed baby into my studio! The first pic, in the trio above, was probably my favorite from her session. The crimson silk just contrasted so elegantly with her porcelain skin, crystal blue eyes, and long, dark lashes! She truly reminds me of a baby "Snow White!"

And Baby Makes Three!




Please meet three-month-old baby "B." Can you say cutie pahtootie?! He had the most beautiful, big round eyes, and a truly infectious smile! He almost seemed to giggle! He was so expressive and alert, and gave us some great images. His proud new parents were obviously completely in love with him!

Me and Sis




I had the pleasure of photographing this little girl a few months ago, and was delighted when she returned with her new baby sister! At 4 weeks, this little one was so alert and expressive, and I'm certain that she even smiled for us....but of course, not when I had the camera ready. No worries little one, smiles are not required! ;)

Beautiful Family



I recently had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple and their three beautiful, young children. The boys, ages two and four were vivacious and full of energy. And their older sister was so sweet and poised beyond her years. The three portraits, above, were among my favorites from their session. I'm hoping Mom and Dad will like them too. ;)

We Are Family!




I had so much fun this morning, photographing this awesome family! The sons are very musical and play a variety of instruments, so the song title just came to mind. They all had a great sense of humour and really seemed to enjoy each other's company. The brothers were full of good-natured teasing, and mom and dad were just like high school sweethearts. There is definitely a lot of love in this family! Oh, and sorry ladies....rumor has it these brothers are spoken for! ;)

Oh Baby!




Please meet baby "M," another beautiful newborn I recently had the joy of photographing. And check out all that dark hair! I just love a newborn with a lot of hair. Mom and I had such fun spiking it up for his head shots. Not too many one-week-olds get so much attention paid to their coiffure! Well, baby "M," I, for one, think you look fabulous, and I'm sure mom and dad will agree!

Happy Thanksgiving!


Well, this lovely couple certainly has something to be thankful for! They are expecting their second child very soon. Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing them and their adorable 3-year-old son. Well, you can tell by the expression on his face (above), that he was a real spunky little guy! He can't wait to meet his new baby brother...or sister, and I can tell he'll be a great big "bro!" Happy thanksgiving everyone!
