First things first, Mom has the most amazing hair ever.  During the session I kept thinking about how great it would be if I could have hair like hers!  Just stunning!

I was delighted to photograph baby Lucas’ family as he was very near his due date.  So glad we were able to shoot outdoors on such a gorgeous day, thank you sun for creating such beautiful light for us that day!  There are many images that I love from this session, and these are my very favorites (my #1 is the first one, I mean how sweet can a little girl be!)…

In love with every image.  Can’t wait for you to meet baby Lucas!  He is a star!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, please meet baby Carmen:

I couldn’t begin her post without showing you her beautiful tiny face.  She is so so precious!

Baby Carmen has an older sister named Charlie (love this name btw), whom I met when she was a newborn years ago.  I remember how tiny and quiet Charlie was, and how much I enjoyed chatting with her parents.  When I found out about baby Carmen coming on the scene, and seeing everyone again I was so happy!  This session did not disappoint with a happy and fun time, it is one of my favorites ever.  Charlie was fantastic as always and baby Carmen was perfection.  Mom and Dad were amazing as before, and once again I felt like a very spoiled photographer.

Baby Carmen looked amazing in so many different colours, and she was happy regardless of where she was.  Will begin with this photo of her in Mom’s arms because I adore her tiny laughing face!  Here is more of baby Carmen and her awesome family (it was hard not to share every single photo)…

I know right.  She is perfect!

Sometimes we meet people that we immediately like.  Seems like I get to work with the most wonderful couples, and feeling very spoiled!  *happy dance*

This sweet couple was so in love with each other, and so good to me that it was a pleasure creating images for them.  Mom’s smile was contagious and she looked at him with such love, it was humbling.

When their little man Max arrived on the scene, I was so looking forward to catching up and meeting Max.  He is here, and I can’t wait for you to meet him too!  For now, here are his gorgeous parents…

Baby Daniela arrived into the world with many of us at the edge of our seats!  We were all so so excited to meet her and rushed to the hospital as soon as we were given the green light to visit.  There were many people in that hospital room waiting their turn to hold precious “Baby Belki”.  This sweet little nickname has stuck, and I love it!

Daniela’s session was atypical in that she spent it smiling.  We figured she must have recognized my voice from the womb, because I have never seen a newborn smile this much during a session.  Mind you, she could have done anything at all and I would be just as delighted being the proud auntie I find myself being.  With a niece this adorable and sweet, how can I not be?

Little one looked great in all the colours we used, and she was happy feeling different textures on her skin.  She also loved to be super curly and warm.  Was happy to be held, and equally content in a bowl.  We got so many gorgeous images as we could not stop photographing her.  I think in the end my brother’s tired voice brought me back to reality and to wrapping up her session.  She is Daddy’s girl for sure.

Here is a small peek into baby Daniela’s very special session:

Every image we produced at this session, I loved.  Sometimes this happens, and yet I can never tell when it will.

Baby Ellis arrived with the most beautiful skin and adorable expressions.  She looked amazing in soft neutrals, and a variety of textures.  Mom and Dad were some of the nicest people you will meet, and it was nice to work with them.  I remember telling Mom that her voice was beautiful, it sounded like a voice I heard before.  You know the beautiful voices you hear in movies or on the radio?  That is what she sounded like.  Really soothing and soft.  Baby Ellis must have loved hearing her Mommy’s voice in her tummy!

Dad was the strong and silent type, and was so patient as we worked and chatted.  Months later Colette and I ran into baby Ellis and her Mommy at the pool, she had grown so much and was just as perfect.  What a treat it is to see how the little ones I meet grow and develop.  They are all so different, it is amazing to see.  Baby Ellis was a “watcher” when we saw her, observing her environment safely by her Mom.  She is beautiful…
