I think baby Emmett was around 3 months at his photo session – he was so cute and very easy to work with.

Let me share some of my favorites with you! :)

I definitely needed to start 2016 with baby Mae. I’ve been working with Aileen and Brandon since their engagement and it was such an honor to be called again to capture photos of their first baby. Obviously, baby Mae had to be as photogenic as her mommy and daddy. Honestly I’d really love to keep doing this until they grow old. :)

I’ve been photographing these girls for 4 years now and never had the chance to post them on my blog (even though they are all over my Facebook Page!). I remember finishing this particular shoot and telling myself I needed to post this session this time.

The reality is that half of the families I work with never get a chance to be featured here because I do give priority to posting weddings and engagement sessions. And I’m with so much work this winter that I wasn’t even going to post anything in here until 2016. But then I get this Christmas card in my mail and I just need to stop for a while and blog this. Loved, loved this shoot and it’s really an honor to watch these kids grow.

As always, I loved working with Luiza and meeting her new baby brother, Lucas. It was my first time working at Coronation Park, in Oakville. I loved loved these images and could not wait to share a few of my favorites with you.

One of the reasons I’ve been skipping families is that they all want to go to the same location and I feel like you’ve seen enough Edward Gardens around here. LOL

The question that I get the most when booking families is where to go, followed by what to wear. So I always send a what to wear guide with some tips and list of popular locations among families. Even though the list has over 50 locations, I can say that 95% of my families go with Edward Gardens. I can’t blame them, place is beautiful and the kids do enjoy the scenery over there.

Reality is it doesn’t really matter where you go! And this shoot is a great example of that. We were actually going to have the photo session at Edward Gardens but forecast was for rain. Rescheduling was not an option in their case and we decided to have the shoot indoors. Rain was on and off and we were able to go the backyard – and look what we’ve got! I LOVE these photos. In the end, it is really about bonding, playing and having fun – not the location.

I won’t lie: I was exhausted on Monday – especially when you have to get up super early to take your kid to school. HOWEVER I could not wait any longer to edit this photo session you see right here. I am completely in love with every single picture I took that Sunday morning. Even though most photos on my portfolio look “candid”, I do direct a bit and tell clients what to do since most people are really nervous during the shoot. This wasn’t the case that Sunday morning – everything you see here is 100% not staged. I LOVE THAT! We just let this super cute little girl do whatever she wanted during that cold morning at the Distillery.

Below are some of my favorites. :)

I remember just loving working with Wenwen and her family, so I was super excited when she emailed me this year to book a photo shoot with her baby. And what a cute baby! Loved loved meeting and working with baby Christopher.

We started at their place and went for a walk in Unionville. That park is absolutely beautiful! Her mom was also there so we had the chance to snap a few romantic photos for Shawn and Wenwen as well. :)

This shoot was to celebrate Cassidy’s birthday. Highlight was definitely her big sister, Kaelin, pulling her in the wagon around Edward Gardens. Had so much fun with these two little ladies!!

This time I’m showing you my Family Photo Book, a 30-page 8 x 8 laminated hardcover book – pages layflat with photographic paper. I never push these albums on my clients since nowadays you can get a photo album from Walmart for close to nothing, but the quality of these are just amazing!

Her kids are two of the cutest boys I’ve seen; Liam has lots, lots of energy and Cole was just really sweet! It’s so nice to see them having so much fun with each other and I’m always amazed at how siblings care for each other at such a young age, no matter how different their personalities are. Incredible. Can’t wait till my daughter becomes an older sister!
