Xavier turns one! |First birthday cake smash

This little guy turns one today! I spent a lovely morning with him and his mama yesterday and this is how a celebratory birthday cake smash should be. Relaxed and fun! Here is a little preview (okay, a big preview) for his parents on their baby boy's first birthday.

Spring Mini-Sessions are here!

I'm happy to announce the return of the ever-popular family mini-sessions! These sessions were a hit last fall so I am bringing them back for spring. This is a beautiful time of year for family photos as the grass and trees are in full, glorious bloom. These limited-availability sessions will be offered on Saturday May 24th. You may include your entire family, or just the kids – entirely up to you!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I've been lucky enough to have been photographing this family since Amanda was pregnant with her daughter, nearly 3 years ago. It has been wonderful to watch little Astrid grow, and in the summer she became a big sister when August joined the family (see that session here).

But last week, it was all about August. I spent a morning with just him and his mommy. This little guy is ray of sunshine, literally. He is so full of smiles, you can't help but feel good when around him.

Brooke at 10 months | Toronto Family Photographer

I've been trying to set aside time each month to spend a few minutes with my camera and Brooke, just the two of us, so I can be sure I am capturing her at each stage. The first year goes by so quickly and they grow and change so much. I find I rely so much on my iPhone for photos these days, I forget how much I love shooting with my camera, with my girls as the subject. I missed 9 months so I had been thinking about when I might find the time to do 10 months, but it ended up happening by accident yesterday. Brooke was in her usual favourite spot by our back sliding doors after her afternoon nap and I was getting organized so we could go for a walk while it was still sunny. The back of our house faces west and the setting sun was streaming in on Brooke, and of course I naturally grabbed my iPhone to take a snap, but then something dawned on me  – here was the perfect opportunity capture Brooke, doing what she normally does.  I thought I would take just few shots but once I started, Brooke found it fun to chase after me and we ended up spending quite awhile just crawling around the kitchen together.

She's serious in this last frame. Perhaps starting to find it a bit annoying that I won't let her have my camera to play with.

Kimberly Walker Photography |kimberlywalkerphotography.comWhile a family session is planned for later this spring, their mom wanted some photographs to capture the stages they are at now, so a mini-session worked out perfectly. I can't wait to see these little guys again in a few months...
