Our Newest Little Family Member!

Two weeks ago today I gave birth to our beautiful baby girl Aurora, 8lbs 1oz of pure pink squishiness! She is absolutely adored by every member of our family - her big brother Aidan wants to hug & kiss her all the time (let's hope it's not just a honeymoon period!)

I have been very lucky these past few weeks to have had our parents here to help out, which has given me the chance to sit and enjoy her to the fullest extent - she has been very good to Mommy and has even allowed me to get some sleep at night too! I am feeling very good (probably thanks to all my rest) and Rory is doing very well too - she eats & poops even more than her brother did! (For all of my previous newborn clients out there - she pooped & peed on every single one of my blankets the minute I took her diaper off!)

I have taken 100's of photos of her already so it was hard for me to select a few to share especially when the photos are of my own kids! Here are a few of my many favourites - enjoy :-)

Summer Sessions ~ Grey Bruce Child Photographer

I'm sitting here 1 day away from my expected due date of our 2nd child waiting impatiently for the newest member of our family to arrive! I thought I would try and distract myself from my current exhausted and annoyed state of mind by sharing a few photos with you from my sessions this summer :-) I have been a terrible blogger this year! Life has been busy and I chose to slow things down a bit this year to adjust to the new living arrangements here in New Jersey and to enjoy these last few months with my son. I did get the chance though to catch up with a few of my favourite clients on my visits back to Canada and hopefully starting next spring will continue to do so next year!

Enjoy the photos in this multi post and check back over the coming weeks for photos of our new addition! (My mom has been knitting up a storm and I can't wait to try out the new props!)


Congratulations to my cousin & his wife and their newest little member of their family! Welcome to the family Baby "E"!

I love this family and it was so nice to be able to spend a morning with them at the end of this summer. Thanks for having me back guys - looking forward to seeing you again next year - next time at the farm???

This little miss belongs to a very good friend of mine. I wasn't sure if she was going to arrive before I left to come back to New Jersey, but to my delight she did and I was so happy to be able to capture a few special moments for her mommy to remember just how little & precious she was at 4 days old :-) Miss you M - can't wait to see you after our little one arrives! (My mom knitted the bowl for me in time for the session - thanks mom!)

These beautiful children have graced my blog many times and belong to another good friend from our old neighbourhood. We miss them very much so it was so nice to be able to catch up with them when we were home and to get out for a quick photo session!

Look who's all grown up! This little gal was from my very first maternity session last August and I can't believe how much she has changed over this past year! She is such an adorable little girl and I was so happy when mom emailed and asked if I would take her 1yr photos.

I was originally contacted by this mom last fall and after rescheduling twice due to weather, we decided to wait and try again in the spring. Well the spring turned into late summer due to our move, but in the end I think that worked out for the best! This little man was BUSY and for anyone that knows my son, I didn't think it was possible to meet another little boy busier than my own! He had such a vibrant personality and I fed off his energy (at 8months pregnant I needed all the energy I could get!!!). We had a great time at the beach in the late afternoon sun and I was so happy to be able to capture the love that this family obviously shares - thanks so much for a great afternoon!

Thanks for stopping by! I unfortunately won't be taking on any client sessions until next spring, but please feel free to stop by to see the new addition to our family over the coming months!

Green Peas has been on hiatus...for a little while...

I know I've been a little absent on the blog lately - apologies to all of my blog followers. I have some news to share....as most of my clients know, our family has moved to New Jersey (for a few years). The past five months have been insanely busy selling our house in Canada and buying a new one in the U.S. and trying to get settled with a toddler and dog in tow.

I am also happy and excited to share with everyone that I am pregnant and expecting our 2nd child in November. I was a little under the weather for quite awhile and the thought of doing anything that required getting off the couch made my stomach turn! Now that I am back to normal, I'm ready to pick up my camera again and get back to doing what I love to do best (besides spend time with my family!)

For those wondering what my plans are in terms of my business, I will still be offering sessions to my clients in Canada during my visits home (probably 4-5 weeks throughout the year). I will post the dates as soon as I know, but please feel free to contact me if you have your own date in mind - I will definitely do my best to accommodate you!

I of course can't post without a few photos, so.....

I was home visiting friends and family a few weeks ago, but spent one fabulous day with the "G" family and their brand new baby girl "E". She was 3 weeks old by the time I got my hands on her which is a little older than I like to shoot newborns, but she was such a doll. Not too interested in sleeping all that much and of course a newborn shoot is never complete without mom or dad having to change at least once (okay maybe twice!). Here's a quick peek from their session.




Thanks so much for a great day D&P - I hope you enjoy your slideshow!
