Charlee | welland newborn photographer

Mom and Dad’s goal was to get some photos of their new baby girl Charlee with her older brothers.

I was so happy with these….they truly make my heart smile

It was a bittersweet session for me. The last time I photographed these boys – it was with their 2 year old sister Julia who passed away from leukemia.

I know your froggie princess is looking down and blessing you all.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this session. I talked to mom a few times on the phone and she expressed concern about her oldest daughter. She thought it would be difficult to get photos of her. Really? Omg…she warmed up right away and we ended up with so many amazing images of both of them.

This one’s a favourite of mine…..I adore her baby chub, her stare, those little curls and the rufflebut!

I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed photographing these three siblings over the years.

They are such beautiful children and mom always dresses them in the *best* outfits for photosessions!

A Wonderful Family | St. Catharine’s Family Photographer

This may be a long post.

I always ask my clients – if there’s one photo you want to get from the session – what would it be? For Jennifer and David – all they wanted was a photo of their family together. Simple request don’t you think? Their twin boys are autistic, so getting that family photo was going to be a challenge…..or so I thought. I knew that they wouldn’t really want to interact with me. I also knew that it would be difficult getting eye contact. What I didn’t know was how amazing this family was….especially the parents. Jennifer and David are so calm and patient with their children and once I began photographing them, it was so apparent that there was so much LOVE in this family! The children were having so much fun – I think they forgot I was there!

I love photos of family interaction like these:

When I saw this photo on my screen for the first time – I seriously wanted to cry!

I also wanted to cry when I saw this one!

They’re such cute boys!

Here’s their older sister…how beautiful is she?

This one is so cute! They were about to “dive” off the bench.

The next three photos were not planned. It just shows the love in this family and I have so many like this. I {heart} these photos:

Jennifer and David – Thank-you so much for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family. It was certainly a privilege.

Natasha is one of my baby planners and this was her last session with me.

I’m certainly going to miss photographing her…she is such a doll.

Mackenzie | Niagara Children Photographer

My son Mackenzie came up to me a few weeks ago with an issue he had. He apparently went through my blog and counted the number of photos of him compared to those of Alex! He actually had the exact number, I can’t remember what it was, but it was quite obvious that there were more photos of Alex on my blog than him. Kids love making their parents feel guilty don’t they? Well, I explained to Mackenzie that if only he would let me take his photo – I would have more of him to post!! He’s always been a tough one to photograph and pretty much runs when he sees the camera……except for recent. Mackenzie actually wanted me to take his photo!

With the busy season wrapping up, I took the opportunity today to take some photos of Mackenzie. OMG…..I’m in love with them. How cute is he? He loosened up and forgot about the camera and I was actually able to capture “Mackenzie”. Christmas has come early for me! Thanks Mack.

and a few with Alex in them:

one of Alex:

and look…one with the two of them together…Christmas really has come early!

Weekly Spotlight – Summer & Childhood

That’s what these photos say to me……summer and childhood.

Weekly Spotlight – something different from me

Daniela — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:00:21 +0000

When mom brought out these outfits, we knew the photos needed a classic look. My studio brick walls, old doors or backdrops just weren’t going to cut it. We ended up taking the photos in our living room! One of the pleasures of being in an old home is all of the beautiful character that comes with it. The dark hardwood floors, white painted wood paneling and old french doors were the perfect backdrop!

I really love the way these turned out….so here are some traditional photos from a non-traditional photographer!
