Here's a little preview of my first session of 2014.
Baby T and Family | Toronto Newborn Photographer
Most people think of summer and fall for the best light for family photography. And for the most part, they're right – nothing beats the golden light of a late summer sunset. But, the more I shoot this winter, the more I fall in love with the glorious pockets of light found in my clients homes. Although it challenges me and it is not always forgiving, I love it anyways because it is natural and honest. It's real life. Which is what I have always said I want my photography sessions to be. This family is close to my heart. Ben's newborn session was one of my first and I will always be grateful to his parents for opening their door and inviting me into their home. Two years later and we've become good friends and it's wonderful to capture their newest addition – baby Tyler. Ty joined the world six weeks early so these photos were taken at 39 weeks (6 days before his due date!).

Wow, I'm down to only a few shoots left for 2013, and we have ended up with SO MUCH SNOW! I couldn't be more thrilled! Christmas is less than 2 weeks away and I was able to enjoy a cozy Saturday morning with this new family of four, complete with a fire in the fireplace while it snowed like crazy outside. Here's a sneak peek of baby T and his adoring family...
The G Family | Toronto Family Photographer
This sunny session is from back in early September. Oh how I'm already missing those glorious summer sunsets! I've been photographing this family since their firstborn was just a wee one and now she's a preschooler with a baby brother in tow. It's so wonderful to be able to capture a family as it grows...
Baby A and Family | Toronto Newborn Photographer
This was one of my last sessions of the summer and as the days get colder, I'm already longing for a warm sunny day. Am I the only one who is terribly disappointed to have to wear socks!?! I love this family. Pretty much that sums it up. They are always so easy-going and there is never a shortage of laughter. Could be because little Astrid says and does the funniest things (as 2-year olds do). And throwing a baby boy into the mix just means double the hugs and cuddles. AND, they have the coolest names. ever. Astrid and August. Why didn't I think of those names!?!
And here they are...
The C Family | Toronto Family Photographer
This season is busy! Fall is such a beautiful time of year for family photos, and as the weather turns cooler and the days get shorter, everyone seems to scramble to get their yearly "family photos" scheduled in (myself included!). I have worked with some awesome families over the last few weeks and I have some beautiful portrait sessions to share, starting with this one – my sister and her crew!
LOVE them.
Baby J | Toronto Newborn Photographer
This is how I found her...
I walked into her sunny room and met sweet baby Jocelyn for the first time. I knew how long her parents had waited for her, how much she was wanted, how much she was already loved, and I just couldn't hold it together – tears were flowing, nose was running and tissues were definitely needed. Thankfully her parents are good friends of ours and I assured them that I don't normally burst into tears at newborn sessions.
Jocelyn slept peacefully while I pulled myself together, and the rest of the morning was spent taking photos of this sweet family.
Jocelyn is beautiful and we couldn't be happier for you three! xx
Baby C & Family | Toronto Newborn Photographer
My good friend Ryan welcomed a new little man into her life a few weeks ago and I had the honour of capturing her beautiful, growing family.
Congratulations you three. xx
Baby E & Family | Toronto Newborn Photographer
This sweet family welcomed their newest member at the end of July, and I got to spend a sunny morning with them shortly after. Baby E fits rights in and is clearly receiving LOTS of cuddles and kisses from Mom and Dad and her proud big brother.
The I Family + Bump | Toronto Maternity Photographer
It's been a whirlwind summer that is sadly coming to an end, but the busyness continues in to the fall. In fact, in gets busier! These three welcomed a sweet baby boy into the world last week and I'm off to meet him later this afternoon. For now, here's a peek at one of my favourite maternity sessions.
