Another Cutie Pie! {Durham Baby Photographer}

I had a fabulous time when little Miss R and her mom came to visit me at the studio last month! They were up for just about anything and C and I had lots to talk about whenever baby need a "mini meltdown" break. She is also a huge animal lover so we swapped stories while R had snacks and everyone was happy!

I just love this picture! Her eyes are phenomenal, so beautfiul AND she is wearing her mom's outfit from way back when she was that age. I thought that was such a great idea, and a beautiful sentiment.

Also loved how perfectly R's baby legs matched the tutu, she is quite stylish for such a little thing!

Thank you for coming in ladies! Hope to see you again soon!

More Catching Up - To Cute Not To Blog! {Toronto Baby Photographer}

Little S came to see me in November of this year and I could not get over her big baby blues, chubby little cheeks and incredibly bubbly little personality! I saw her again recently for Valentine's portraits and remembered that I hadn't gotten a chance to blog about her, so here she is!

Isn't she just the cutest little thing?!

More Catching Up - J's 3 Month Session! {Pickering Baby Photographer}

Well I will have tons and tons of adorable faces to post from January, but for now I am going to post some that should have been up a long time ago! This little guy is very special to me as he belongs to friend's of mine and I am so excited that I have him as a participant in my Baby Steps program!

Here is what Little Man J looked like at his newborn session:

and then 3 months later:

Isn't it CRAZY how fast they grow!? I don't think first time parents often realize how important it is to get those newborn photos done ASAP while they are still tiny! I am always blown away by how fast they grow and how much they change within the first year - but of course I am always delighted to see that first smile and giggle!

Mom and Dad are beautiful too aren't they? Great parents, and I cannot wait to do J's 6 month in a couple of months!

Most Adorable Product EVER! {Durham Children's Photographer}

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these new little accordion books that I have found. Just added them to the product menu a few days ago and ordered a sample to make sure I like them and they are SO CUTE! Really excited to start making these, and the best part is that they come in sets of 3 or more so they are just perfect for giving to Grandma and Grandpa to show off to their friends - and you still get to keep one too!

They are custom designed using 12 of your favourite portraits, and they fold up into a perfect little 5x5 square that is magnetized either to keep it together in your purse or two fan out and stick to the fridge for everyone to see!

Here's a couple of snapshots that I took of my sample to show everyone!

Playing Catch Up! Little Miss V {Toronto Baby Photographer}

This month has been just WILD! I am having so much fun, but am up to my eyeballs in editing and just doing my very best to catch up. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not complaining, I have been thoroughly enjoying the steady stream of adorable babies and children and beautiful families coming through the studio!
I will posting lots of little snipets from my sessions this month as well as a bunch of cuties from my Valentine's mini sessions, but for now here are a few from a session I haven't yet blogged about from 2009.

Little Miss V and I actually ended up having 3 sessions together this summer, not because she wouldn't smile, not because she fussed or cried, but because she wouldn't SLEEP! Ha ha, her Mommy and I waited and waited as she desparately wanted sleeping pictures of her little angel, but V was not having any part of it. On our final session we waited for hours for her to pass out, quietly tip toed into her room and carefully and ever so quietly got into position - I think we took 5 shots and BAM her eyes flew open and she started giggling like mad!

What a cutie pie, this one was just personality plus and I had a fabulous time capturing it all!

And finally one of her sleeping... a rare occurence!
