On Vacation....

Next week I will be taking a much needed break and heading up north to cottage country! I will be away from August 23rd to September 1st and will have no internet access, so all phone calls and emails will be returned after the long weekend. I am looking forward to spending lots of time with my family and some great friends!

I also wanted to let everyone know that I am quickly booking up for the fall. If you are thinking about booking fall or Christmas photo sessions, please don't wait too much longer or you may be disappointed :-)

September: fully booked
October: 1 session left
November: 3 sessions left
December: 2 sessions left


Have a great week & long weekend everyone!

Newborn Sneak Peek - Newmarket Newborn Photographer

I have been looking forward to the birth of this little girl for quite awhile - her mom was my first maternity client :-) "A" was just 10 days old when I saw her yesterday - she was the same size as my son when he was born - how quickly you forget how tiny they once were! As is often the case with newborn sessions - she was just too interested in what was going on to sleep, but eventually she gave into mom's persistence. Sleeping & posed in position we were ready to go, but little "A" had other ideas and she let loose on daddy! Yes - that is a pee trickle in the shot below - Dad was a trooper though and carried on like a champ - I think he knew that if he moved he'd wake up the sleeping baby! I should mention this was the 3rd time Dad & Mom had been peed on - good thing a change of clothes was only a few steps away! Thanks for having me back again mom & dad - your daughter is beautiful and don't worry - I have lots of great shots without any trickles!

It's Raining....It's Pouring.... - Newmarket Child Photographer

I was invited to photograph a family reunion this weekend - it rained steady for the first 2 hours that I was there, but that didn't stop this family from having a great time! I thought I would share one of my favourites for all you mom's out there that really want those sunny day photos - sometimes a little rain can add a bit of unexpected colour :-)

Fingerpainting Fun! - Newmarket Maternity Photographer

When this mom & I spoke a few months ago, she said she wanted to include her daughter in her maternity session photos. When I first met "J" last night I was greeted by a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed 3 year old who was full of spunky fun and had a great smile! I wanted to do something special for "J" so I told mom to bring a change of clothes for both of them! At the end of the session I pulled out the fingerpaints and "J" got ready to work her artistic magic on mom's tummy! I think they both had a great time & even Dad got in on the action at the end and wrote the "potential" baby name on the tummy - that picture is just for them though - it's a secret!





One finger wasn't enough anymore - it was definitely a two hand job!

................................................."I'm all done!"

Thanks for meeting me at the park last night "A, J & J", I had a great time! Enjoy the sneak peek!
