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.
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!
This little guy stole my heart.
The fall mini-sessions were a huge success this year and due to requests as the holidays approach, I am offering additional mini-session spots on select dates. Please email me or fill out the contact form for availability and details. It will be fun to see the kiddos in their "festive" wear. And I'm always a sucker for wooly scarves and hats... Click here for a glimpse of the fall sessions.
It was tough to narrow down, but here are a few of my favourites from the mini-sessions held two weeks ago.
I will be holding mini-sessions again in the spring so please email me at kimberlywalkerphoto@gmail.com if you are interested in receiving details when the session dates are announced.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. Despite the chilly weather and rain, my girls were troopers and enjoyed both giving out candy at our door and traveling around the neighbourhood to fill their bags. Today's post features a session from back in September. Elizabeth is an artist who I met at a local mom's group (MumNet for anyone who is interested!). I've really enjoyed her friendship the past few years, as well as photographing her family.
Check out Elizabeth D'Agostino's blog here. She has an upcoming exhibition which opens this Saturday November 8 at Loop Gallery.
"I think I'm in labour " my long-time friend Stef texted to me. By long-time, I'm talking about 20 years. We met in ballet class when I was 10. I texted something back along the lines of "I'll check in with you in a few hours but lets plan to go ahead". I wasn't going to let a few contractions get in the way of her photo session. Stef and Ryan welcomed their baby boy into the world about 40 hours later.
With so much on their plate, including both a house renovation and Stef's labour pains, it was a wonder that they were able to pull it together and have me over to capture this time for them. I am so glad they did, and I hope they are too. It's the real-life stuff that I love to document, the not-so-perfect times that stick in our memories.
And here's a sneak peek of their new little man.
I love returning to families who I have already worked with – as they welcome their newest additions, reach a milestone, or document life together as a family. I love to capture their joy. I photographed this family when they had their first baby girl and it was wonderful to see them again as they welcomed a second baby girl into their family.
Madness in an amazing, lots of running, lots of cuddling, lots of laughing, and lots of leaves throwing sort-of-way. I am so appreciative of all of the families who came out this weekend and spent a little time in front of my camera.
