Back to School?

Not for this teacher mom! She is lucky enough to be off on maternity leave for the next few months. And can you blame her? Just look at Mr. L! He is such a happy baby boy and will be wonderful company for her while she is away from the classroom.

Hope you are enjoying your "Not" Back to School Day, C!

Welcome Sweet Baby K

I was so thrilled when this wonderful family called to book a newborn session for the newest member of their family, Baby K. Not only are they some of the nicest people I've ever met, but they are new neighbours to boot!
Although Baby K was going through a bit of a growth spurt and wanted to nurse non-stop, we were still able to capture some beautiful images. She has the sweetest little temperament and the brightest eyes and in the years to come will probably have everyone wrapped around her little finger!

Thank you F, P, L and Baby K. Enjoy your sneak peak!

A different sort of Newborn

A few weeks ago, we went away on vacation. Once we returned, I went about my everyday tasks, which include watering and deadheading my hanging baskets. When I pulled them down from the hook the very first time, I was delighted at what I saw - a Robin's nest!! Since then, the kids and I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the babies.



Well the other day the little newborns made their arrival!

Look how cute they are! No feathers yet, but that fuzz is just adorable. Unfortunately, one egg didn't make it. Such is life, I guess. Poor Mama.

We are very excited to watch these little birds take to the sky in the the next week or so. Hopefully we'll be there (camera in hand!) to catch the action!

Childhood Photography

Childhood seems to be such a fleeting moment in our children's lives these days. I'm not sure if it is us as parents, or society in general that pushes our children to grow up much faster than they need to. One minute it is toys and dolls and the next it is music and clothes! Why not stop the clock for a moment and consider hiring a custom child photographer to capture this special stage - before it is too late! If you are interesting in preserving your family memories for generations to come, please feel free to call or email me to book your appointment today!

Urban Ottawa Maternity Safari

If I learned anything from Susan Robichaud, it is to expand your horizons when looking for shooting locations. Pretty parks are definitely not the only things that make for pretty pictures. And as a result, I am now officially in love with urban settings!! Ottawa has a number of hidden gems that would make for beautiful maternity portraits and I really hope to shoot some more in the future!

Baby K at 3 Months!

I've been very lucky (and honoured) to be following the B family since they were eagerly anticipating their baby bundle back in February. It is hard to believe that baby K is now 3 months! We had a wonderful session on Saturday, which almost made us forget about how hard we had to work at his newborn session!

Thank you D & C for inviting me into your home once again. I'm looking forward to shooting K again in 3 more months and to see just how much he has grown during that time!

And now 3 months already!
