Baby Sloane and her parents came to see me when she was exactly 1-week old. This little one definitely made us work to get her to sleep and wanted to feed throughout, but I think that the efforts were well worth it in the end as we got a lot of great shots. I was also happy to incorporate two “props” that her parents brought along for the session: Her Daddy’s guitar, and a personalized cast of her momma’s belly that was made a couple of weeks prior to Sloane’s arrival.
Paige & Jay — Thank you for choosing me to capture some memorable shots of your new addition, and for all of your patience and efforts throughout our session. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together!
Some of my faves:

My good friends Tim & Amanda welcomed their first child, Dylan Owen Thomas into the world back in March. I was thrilled that they asked me to do their newborn session. Baby Dylan was a hungry little fella throughout their session, but he was also very cooperative when he did nod off to sleep. I have so many favourites from this session…one being of Dylan in his Daddy’s hands. Newborns always look extra teeny in their Daddy’s arms. I have known Tim for about 15 years, but seeing him as a new Dad made my heart melt. Congratulations again, Tim & Amanda — your baby boy is just precious, and he is so lucky to have such wonderful and lucky parents! Thank you for allowing choosing me to capture this special time in your lives.
Meet Dylan, at 4 days new….

I first met the Moore Family back in June for Baby Jameson’s newborn session. It was so nice to see everyone again this past October for an outdoor family session at the arboretum. In just 4 months, it was crazy to see how much both he, and his older sisters had grown! Although the weather was a bit dreary and cold on the morning of our session, the beautiful colours (and the family’s smiles) were still very vibrant! Moore Family — I enjoyed spending my morning with you, and I hope you love your images!

As a photographer it is important to me that I capture real connections among the families that I photograph, while also capturing the true personalities of each family member. I know that having family portraits done was really important to this momma, and I hope that she can look back on these images and feel as though I did my job well 
Meet the Miszczak Family.

I am all caught up with client galleries, and so I am taking some time to catch up on my blogging. I’m now starting to blog October sessions, so progress is being made! If you have had a session with me recently, keep an eye out for my favourite images from your session. All posts *should* be up to date by the end of this week.
And now, meet the Mock Family. I spent this past Thanksgiving with my family in Owen Sound, and while spending time back in my hometown, I also had the opportunity to photograph a session with my friend Andrea and her nearest and dearest. It was fitting to photograph the entire Mock Family on Thanksgiving weekend — a time when families come together and celebrate all that they are thankful for. It’s easy to see what a fun, loving and close-knit family they are. The weather wasn’t overly cooperative for us on our original session date, so we shot over the course of two days, in two different locations. A big thanks to this family for being so flexible, and for smiling through the cold, wind and rain. I hope that this past Thanksgiving was a memorable one for you all! I certainly enjoyed my time with you, and truly hope that you love your images as much as I do.
I love this shot of you, friends!

Every so often I have the opportunity to shoot a session in and around my hometown of Owen Sound. I love going home. Even though I have called Guelph home for the past 8 years, home will always be the place where I grew up. It’s such a familiar, comfortable place…and there are so many beautiful locations to visit as well. This past September I had the privilege of photographing my bestie and her family. Jen and I have been friends since the beginning of high school. We have shared in so many of each other’s milestones over the years — the high school years, weddings, moves, babies. Even though we don’t get to see each other as often as I’d like, when we do get-together, it’s like there has never been any distance between us. I absolutely heart this family, and had such a fun time with them during their session. They actually introduced me to this gem of a location that I had never heard of, or visited in all of the years that I have lived in the area. It was just perfect for their session. Although the weather was all over the place on the day of our session, I’m so glad that we decided to brave the cold, wind and rain – I have so many favourite images from our time together, and hope that they will treasure them as well. Without further ado, meet the Gladwells…

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Victoria and her lovely parents back in September. This little lady is such a doll! I look forward to seeing how much she has changed when I get the opportunity to photograph her again in December during the Holiday Minis.

I love photographing families. From an outsider’s perspective, it’s neat to see the family dynamic and the connections amongst all of the family’s members. Life can get so busy sometimes, but it certainly is nice when everyone can come together to catch up, enjoy each other’s company, and capture some lasting images with one another. I recently had the opportunity to meet and photograph the Adams Family. Family members are located in Fergus, Oakville, and as far away as the west coast, so I felt very priviledged to be able to photograph everyone together on a beautiful August morning in Elora.
Adams Family – It was a pleasure meeting all of you, and I hope you enjoy your images!

As a newborn photographer and a mom of two (soon to be 3!) myself, I know that babies (and children in general) can be unpredictable. Prior to my newborn sessions, I provide parents with some tips that will often help the session run smoothly…but sometimes on the day of the session, baby has his/her own agenda. Insert Baby Ryland Ryland came to see me on two separate occasions (at 12 days-old and again at day 20). During our first session together, Ryland did not want to give into falling asleep and was more interested in eating than being photographed. Ryland was awake and alert for most of our second visit together, but this time he was much more willing to go along with what I had planned
Andrea & Derrick – thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your precious baby boy! I truly appreciate your efforts and flexibility in allowing me to fully complete our session, and I hope that you enjoy your images!
*I still have a few spots available for newborn sessions in September & October. If you are expecting during these months and would like to book your own newborn session, feel free to contact me. It is recommended that newborn sessions be booked during pregnancy to secure your spot.
