I’m going to apologize in advance for limited blog posts over the summer. I did not get my wrist surgery but have been told to rest my hand/wrist for the summer, so will be limiting both my camera and computer time. Hopefully this will help heal some things so that I can be pain free in the near future! I will still be working on my new website and a few other things, but for the most part will be taking the summer off to spend time with my family and heal!

Here are some shots from Mexico. It was awesome to just shoot with my kids, it seems like ages since I’ve had the chance to do that… a few new faves in here for sure…..

You may recognize this little gem from previous blog posts.  When her parents booked with me, I had a collection pacakage that included 3 sessions throughout the year.  I had discontinued them because early last year I transitioned to photographing newborns only – and that keeps me busy enough!  You also may recognize her as  I have quite a few of her pictures plastered all over Urban Infant Magazine and West Coast Kids.  But I have to say that I love seeing my little models grow and develop over the year.  It was so awesome to hang with little Miss A. and see how she’s grown into a little girl with sugar and quite a bit of spice!  Loved this session and it was a blast to get shots of a toddler for a change.  T&C – you are great clients and I look forward to our hipster session in August.  T – you MUST be in the August session, no excuses.  Talk to you soon – hope you are feeling better soon C.

Meet Baby K. and his crew… a calm and peaceful little man with the coolest brother in town. I was so impressed with his three year old brother who helped me tons and cooperated so well for a few shots with his little bro. And it was near impossible to take a good shot of Mr. J – check out his hair! Thanks for your patience mom and dad – enjoy your sneak peek. I will have your images up very soon.

I have been wanting to take some shots of these two for a year now – I thought they would make great covers of one of the magazines I provide images for.  It just didn’t work out last year so when their mom asked me to take some shots of them this fall I jumped at the chance!  As sweet as they are cute – these two are some of my favourite kids in the league.  My own kids adore them and I love how their personality came through in so many of the shots we took.  Thanks for a fun afternoon you guys!

I got to hang out with Baby A. and her family last week.  I haven’t seen them in four months – they are on my Milestones plan and I love seeing how much everyone has changed since our last session.  Baby A. is six months old and just the happiest baby in the league – so easy to photograph!  Enjoy your images guys – here’s hoping we can snag Dad for a few next time!!  Your gallery will be up very soon.

Baby K….only four days old and very easy to get a long with!  We loved her little wrinkles, and had to highlight them in a few images as she probably won’t have them for long!  Thanks for a great session you guys – I look forward to seeing you again.  A huge shout out to Magda Kirkwood as well – great energy and great insight to make newborn sessions go even better…

I never did get around to posting some Mexico pictures, so here are some to kick off the warm weather outside!

Another baby waiting for me the day after we got back from Mexico!  This little guy was an April Fools Baby, and only four days old when we met him.  His mom was the lucky winner of the Modern Mama facebook contest, and with this being her third boy (and second April Fools Day baby) she was super laid back and easy going.  Her and dad even grabbed a nap on the couch while we basked in Baby R.’s cuteness!  He was the perfect little model, he slept the whole session and just naturally went into any pose we wanted.  Another reason it is nice to get really fresh newborns….they sleep so soundly.  Here are a few shots from our session, thanks again guys, your gallery will be up shortly!

I just realized this is my third ‘Baby A.’ in four weeks!  This Baby A. is a boy, and a beautiful blue-eyed blondie at that.  He looks exactly like his older brother – who is such a sweet little guy!  Baby A. didn’t want much to do with sleeping on Saturday…mom tried everything!  We did eventually get some great shots and apparently he’s been sleeping hard since he left our session.   A huge thanks to Niki – my fabulous assistant who I’d be lost without!  I’m working on securing her for all my newborn sessions, though I’m secretly worried she will end up having another baby as she’s pretty crazy for newborns.   W. Family – thank you so much for sticking it out on Saturday.  I know it was a long session, but I really enjoyed your company and you’re welcome here anytime!  Enjoy the sneak peeks, your gallery will be up soon!  I had to include this first image as I kind of thought it summed up a good portion of what our session was like!
