Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was my son's 2nd birthday - we're having a party for him this weekend, but we couldn't let the day go by without a few candles and some cake! His eyes lit up when he saw all that icing - I can't wait to see his face on Saturday when we decorate the house with balloons and streamers just for him! I'll post more photos from his actual party but here's a few quick pics from the cupcake smash :-)

9 Days Old | Owen Sound Newborn Photographer

I love photographing newborns, especially when they are only a few days old - this little guy was just over a week old when I saw him last weekend. He put up a bit of a fight in the beginning (I wonder if that has anything to do with having Notre Dame fans for parents!), but once mom finally got him settled, he let us move him around without too much trouble. I had a really hard time picking just a few of my favourites to share so here's a few too many!

A Crisp Autumn Morning | Kincardine Family Photographer

This family will always be special to me - they were my very first newborn clients and they are just the nicest family you could every meet! It was great to catch up and to see how much Baby "J" has grown over the past 7 months. We met at a local conservation area and although I was a little worried about the temperature (it was only 6 degrees when I left that morning), Mom was prepared and had "J" dressed in lots of layers & the cutest sherpa hat to keep him warm. Mom & I talked a lot about which weekend to have this session and I think we lucked out because the fall colours were definitely at there peak, which certainly made for a colourful backdrop!

Pickin' Pumpkins! | Port Elgin Child Photographer

I met this family for the first time about 6 months ago (remember the baby in the teacup?) - this time mom thought it might be kind of fun to get the kids outside and so we met up at a local pumpkin farm. The kids had lots of fun playing with the pumpkins and crawling through the hay bales and I had just as much fun chasing after them!

Happy Thanksgiving | Newmarket Photographer

I just wanted to wish everyone that stops by the blog this weekend a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! I'm taking some time off to spend a few days with my family and to maybe take a few family photos for our own Christmas card - the weather is supposed to be beautiful so I hope to make the most of it!

I am completely booked for the rest of October and I only have 1 session left in November available - thank you to everyone who has booked sessions over the next month - I'm looking forward to meeting all of you as well as catching up with some past clients that have booked another session - watch this space for some familiar faces!

Just a reminder about the Christmas card collection, here's the blog link for anyone interested: http://greenpeasphotography.blogspot.com/2008/09/christmas-cards-are-here-newmarket.html

We visited a local pumpkin farm a few weeks ago and Aidan had a blast riding on the trikes, running around the corn maze & picking out a pumpkin. I might be slightly biased, but honestly how cute is my son?!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great long weekend!

Quick Sneak Peek | Port Elgin Baby Photographer

I promised mom a quick sneak peek from our session yesterday. Little "D" was a smiley little guy and was a pleasure to photograph! He needed a little nap during our session and lucky me - mom pulled out a huge tray of goodies for us to snack on - my tummy thanks you for the cinnamon bun - good thing I still have a few weeks before I head south and need to wear that bathing suit! Thanks for everything "F & J" - your gallery will be ready in a few days!

A Great Weekend! | Newmarket Baby Photographer

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing not one, but two terrific families! I couldn't have asked for nicer clients & all the kids were super cute!

My session today was super fun - mom had mentioned that their house didn't have a lot of natural light, so I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived and this couple had already rearranged their kitchen and added a big area rug for their daughter's big photo shoot in front of the large patio doors - perfect!

Little miss "R" had the biggest blue eyes and was 8months old (just like the little guy below - talk about a perfect weekend for me!) Mom had lots of cute props on hand and at the end of the session we headed over to the park for some great family shots - I hope you enjoy this sneak peek "L&C" - I'm having a hard time choosing which ones to edit for your gallery - they're all great!

Another Great Session! | Newmarket Family Photographer

I walked up to this family's house on Saturday with a huge grin on my face - they backed onto a ravine and the fall colours were just starting to turn. Then I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw their masterbedroom had wall to wall windows! The lighting was a photographer's dream! Not to mention their adorable son "J" is 8months old which is probably my favourite baby age to photograph (they are just full of personality & usually can't crawl away on me!) His big sister "L" was full of spunk and made me run for my money, but that's o.k. because I got some great shots of her too!

Thanks so much for a great morning - I'll have your gallery ready by the end of the week!




I love animals - so couldn't resist including a few of the furry family members too!
