After a session is wrapped, images have been editted and the proof gallery has been put online, inevitably one of the first questions my clients ask me is how will I ever choose?  This is always a difficult task – especially when the portrait is of your loved one, the apple of your eye!

Usually there are clear favourites and these are the images that are often bought as a canvas or as a large print that will find a wonderful spot hanging in your home.  But then there are those other images, ones that you love and have to have, but aren’t necessarily going to be hung up on a wall. 

Where do you put these prints??

I myself know that I am guilty of putting them aside, maybe in a drawer, and loosing track of them over time.  In fact, just the other day I found some of the beautiful prints from my own maternity session, with the talented Petra King, that were taken in March 2009 – almost a YEAR ago!

So when choosing your prints, why not consider buying them in an album from your photographer??  This is the perfect why to keep your prints safe AND to take them down from a shelf every once in awhile and ENJOY them!  And as a boutique photographer, this is what I love….to go along with my popular leather albums, I am now offering new albums to my clients!   

This stunning brocade album comes in plum or light grey and is enclosed in a beautiful presentation box.  It truly is a wonderful way to display your precious memories and to share them with your friends and family.  No more having to fish them out of a drawer!

Well, I am a little biased!  But come on!!  Her smile is just so contagious that I had to share!

Our littlest keeps growing and oh how I wish we could slow things down.  I LOVE having a baby in the house and with each passing day, she grows a little more.  Now at 8 months she already has 2 teeth.  *sniff*  another milestone reached.  But I know that there are many more to come for a long time and that keeps me happy!

Sorry about the picture overload – I just couldn’t narrow it down!

And after mommy was done with our little mini-session, the model requested her very important *sookie* back.

This little guy made it to the New Year’s Eve Party just in the nick of time!  With only a few hours to spare, hansome Mr. R is officially my last newborn of 2009.  And what a great birthday to have -there is sure to be a party every year!

I spent a wonderful afternoon with T&J and baby R in their home in Toronto.  It was great fun for me as J and I went to high school together – although a few years apart.  I always enjoy seeing old friends become parents.  On one had it makes me feel old, but on the other, it reminds me how far we have all come.  At just 6 days old, R has made T&J parents and it is a role that clearly suits them well.

 This session was a gift to them from some of their close friends and I truly hope it is something they will treasure for many years to come.

Meet Baby K!  He has got to be one of the most sound sleepers I’ve had in quite awhile.  He was just a dream to photograph and had the sun not started to set, I probably would have kept going!

The proud big brother!

And the adoring parents.  Thanks again R&M for having me into your home. It was a privilege to capture this special time in your life!

As I mentioned before, I was convinced there was something in the water 9 months ago!  It seems like I’ve been photographing newborns every other day!  Then someone pointed out to me – 9 months ago = Valentines.  Ah! That would explain a few things!  So continuing with that math – Valentine’s Day 2008 = NEWBORNS!!

Next up, Baby A.  Remember her amazingly prepared mom?  She now has her little girl to hold and love.

And not to be left out – Proud Papa!

 

Thank you again C&G.  I wish you nothing but the best as you travel into the world of parenthood.

I’m a little behind on my blogging these days.  It seems that this is the season for newborns – and there are only more to come!!  There must have been something in the water 9 months ago!

First up though, meet adorable baby M.  Is she the most adorable little thing?  Clearly she is already the apple of mommy and daddy’s eyes.  I’m sure their love for her will grow just as she does – bigger everyday!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

I knew this was going to be my favourite from our session the minute I took it!  Just look at her!

There really isn’t anything better than a baby :)

…and why does she keep taking my picture? 

Little S was a bit camera shy and for the most part this is what she thought of me:

:)   but in all seriousness, we captured some wonderful images of a little girl who is so obviously loved by her parents.  These have to be some of my favourite family images

You can just tell she will be moving around in no time!

I had the pleasure of meeting Miss A and her family at their home today and man did she give us a workout!!  Apparently A isn’t a big daytime sleeper, so we had to pull out all the stops.  But don’t worry mom, we got some images I’m sure you will love.

Gosh, I love belly buttons!
