I met with these two on a grey, rather windy afternoon. Normally we would reschedule with weather like this, but their newest addition was expected to be making an appearance at any point, so we decided to take our chances. Thankfully the rain held off and we were not blown away. Lisa and I used to work together and it was so nice to catch up with her and to meet her beautiful daughter.
This session is actually from last spring – almost a full year ago. These little babes just celebrated their first birthday and I'm looking forward to photographing them again soon!
March was a busy month for new babies! Now that I am caught up on all of my editing, I can share some of the lovely families I captured over the last few weeks. My favourite part of this session was the way this little guy's dad looked at his mom. It was pure adoration. At a time where they were probably feeling the most emotional and exhausted they have ever felt, he looked blissful staring at his wife. What a wonderful thing to witness.
It has been a long, cold winter, but the one positive thing we can admit is that we've had beautiful sunshine (it comes hand in hand with the cold) and it's probably the brightest most of our homes have ever been with all the snow to reflect the light in. Just trying to stay positive over here :) So I was pretty happy when this family chose the winter for their session, and I was even happier when Mom mentioned that they have a backyard fireplace where they enjoy roasting marshmallows. And can you believe that she forgot to mention the tire swing? That was just a bonus when I showed up.
ahhh coffee. What would we do without it? After a few terrible nights with Brooke in the last little while (ear infections coupled with 2-year molars coming in), I actually felt like I had a newborn again. But without the adrenalin. So when I arrived to meet little baby A and his parents last week, and we got to chatting about their lack of sleep – I really felt their pain. And when coffee was offered, I gladly accepted :)
These two are smitten with their new little guy and I had such a wonderful time with them.
I captured this sweet family back in early December. Baby C was about 9 weeks old at the time, and while I do love my newborn sessions, it's always really fun to work with babies that are a bit older – especially when they are smiling and cooing for their parents.
A little preview of this sweet newborn girl...
I had my first session of 2015 with these cuties today
I thought this little guy might have been my last newborn of 2014, but December is proving to be busy and I may have one or two more little ones to capture before the start of the new year. This peanut was the ultimate dream for any photographer. He slept most of his session or quietly stared at his parents. I'm not sure that I heard him cry once.
How exciting for this new family to be celebrating their first holiday season together. I hope it includes some sleep!
