Mango Tango | Owen Sound Childrens Photographer

I had so much fun with this family! They were such a relaxed and loving family and it clearly shows in their photos. Thanks so much for a great session and for the hot chocolate and cake! For any of my blog followers that might be looking for a make up artist for an upcoming wedding or photo session with me, Mom owns Mango Tango and is a well known make up artist here in the GTA who does a fantastic job! I think I might just have to book myself in for a lesson!





York Forest | Kincardine Family Photographer

Obviously not a sneak peek considering the amount of snow on the ground today and the temperature outside! But I wanted to share a few photos of this family that I captured on one of the last nice days of fall - I think I was wearing shorts that day!

6 pounds of cuteness | Port Elgin Newborn Photographer

Mom & I met a few years ago at a baby music class and have been friends ever since - her oldest daughter has been a great little model for me over the past few years and can be seen on the website :-) So when J told me she was pregnant again I knew I wanted to take photos as soon as this little one arrived. I was so happy when she agreed to come over last week when Baby "E" was just 7 days old - she is just a tiny ball of cuteness and slept the whole time - absolute dream! Congratulations J & J - she's beautiful!




How sweet is this - I think she opened her eyes just for a second to give me a little smile!


Chilly Days of Fall | Port Elgin Family Photographer

It was pretty cold when we headed out to the woods last weekend to catch the last of the fall leaves. Little "C" was a trooper though and had a great time kicking through the crispy leaves! Thanks for hangin' in there with me & be willing to brave the cold!

Double Trouble & a Big Sis | Grey Bruce Child Photographer

A few weeks ago we went to Stratford for our yearly trip to the festival and lucky for me we also managed to squeeze in a quick visit with a very good friend that I haven't seen in years! We've both had kids over the past few years - J has had a few more than me! Second time around they had twins and between their 3 little girls they don't stop running! I took advantage of the opportunity and snapped a few quick photos - I thought my son was active - these girls could definitely give him a run for his money! See you soon J - thanks for a great afternoon!

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!

Another Cutie! | Newmarket Baby Photographer

I had a busy few days this weekend with lots of sessions, which would explain the 4 posts in one night! I have a lot of late nights ahead of me this week to edit!

This little one had a beautiful smile - I just didn't get to see it! Mom danced her butt off for 2 hours straight, but little miss "S" was far too distracted by the big black camera pointed at her :-) She is certainly adorable though and smile or no smile I am absolutely in love with her photos! Mom - I hope you'll be happy with these too - I'll have the rest of your gallery ready by the end of the week!
