One of the most beautiful times of the year is when the leaves are all changing colours! In this neck of the woods that time is almost done. It is in fact our busiest time of the year as well...I joke that if we were accountants, this time of year would be considered the "tax season" for photographers! LOL! Regardless it is a time when families all focus on getting together in groupings both big and small to have milestones captured and memorializing the growth of each generation added on.
This family was in a few weeks ago and have just recently added the sweetest little man into their lives! Here are a few of my favourites from their session.
If you would like to book a session with us in 2015 please visit our website www.BlinkofanEyePhoto.ca
Today we had two sessions in the studio. The first was a sweet little lady in for her first birthday photos (I will blog about her a little later...) Our second was this adorable little 7 day new little man Lukas.
As many of you may know, I am a CAPPA trained Postpartum Doula. One of the most common things we see happen in our studio is called "cluster feeding". This is when new tiny little baby's who are exclusively breastfed require more milk from their mama's. The way a mothers remarkable body produces enough milk for her baby is through essentially a supply and demand system. When a growing infant requires more milk supply, they will often go through a phase that for mom can seem like stint of never ending breastfeeding. This can go on for hours and even a few days until baby has "bumped-up" moms supply to sustain them adequately once more.
As we mentioned earlier it is very common and we are absolutely prepared for our shoot to be modified to suit little one's need to nurse, however it can become very frustrating and perhaps even feel never ending for a new mom who is already likely feeling run down.
Today's little man led us through the perfect example of the need to frequently nurse. We were able to capture some beautiful images of him and his parents, however we did have to constantly be aware of his hunger cues making sure we caught them early and not allowing him to progress into a state of upset with late cues!
I am so proud of today's mom and dad with their incredible patience and willingness to follow their little man's cues. The early days of parenthood can be bumpy to begin with and often breastfeeding can be a bit of a test in patience. But being willing to work through those first few weeks will without a doubt yield many more months of positive relationship bonding as well as knowing that you are providing the best nutrition you can possibly give to your infant!
With happiness and pride, I introduce you to the newest member of Michelle and Mark's family....
I have to admit it. I am already choked up being able to share this video. A few short days ago, I posted an image that's sole purpose was to share and celebrate with my facebook page "followers" the beauty of World Breastfeeding Week.
In just 24 short hours after I posted this image I noticed something strange. 30 "fans" had clicked unlike immediately after the posting of this image. Were they insulted? Offended? At first I was a bit upset and confused. But that didn't last long. Please watch the video to witness what happened next....
I feel unbelievably blessed to know so many beautiful, strong and supportive women. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart to every single one of you. Breastfeeding is beautiful. xo
This adorable little man gave us a wee bit of a bumpy start to our session earlier in the week. But sure enough he decided that it was time to settle in, snuggle up and give us some gorgeous poses and even a beautiful SMILE flashed perfectly for the camera!
Newborn Photography is a passion of mine and I cannot say enough about how strongly I feel that this is the best thing that I have ever been able to do in my life (apart from being a mom myself of course!)
Newborns are a collaborative effort between parents and the photographer. Planning our session before baby arrives can be key, but patience and plenty of experience handling babies can make a huge difference in the kinds of images resulting from a session.
I hope you enjoy little Quintin's video birth announcement with a few "sneak peeks" of some sweet images from his session... <3
First day back from one week away with the family...and what a fantastic way to start this week!
Sweet little Evelynn came in today and was as sleepy and perfect as could be. She even brought along her beautiful big sister for some of the session as well!
Here are a few preview pics from her session for the first time launched as a special video birth announcement to share.

This little newborn was an adorable tiny little bean to photograph. Practically perfect in every way! Blink of an Eye Photography specializes in Baby Photography and Newborns are indeed our specialty.
Natural light sessions yield a softness to portraits that can rarely be duplicated in any other way. We often encourage parents to come in for a complimentary consultation session prior to their actual photography session. With this little man we had many different ideas we wanted to incorporate. Most importantly to dad was his love of the Montreal Canadiens! Newborn photography can offer many beautiful and different opportunities to showcase and feature the tiny details of your little one.
I hope you enjoy viewing his photographs as much as I enjoyed spending time with him.
Be sure to check out more of our work on our website.
Little man "C" came in this week and was just about as adorable as they come. Definitely not a tiny little guy (at just 6 days old he was already over 9lbs!) but was he ever soft as could be and just the perfect amount of baby rolls! Hope you enjoy just a few of his newborn photos as much as I do!
We are located in Milton, Ontario at 157 Main Street and specialize in Newborn Photography and Baby Photography. I am also CAPPA trained Postpartum Doula which ensures that your baby is in careful and loving hands throughout the duration of their photo session.

Yesterday little man "T" came into the studio to have his one month/newborn photos taken. Normally it is strongly recommended that you plan to bring your newborn baby in for their first photo session between 5-12 days new. This will allow us to capture those adorable and highly sought after sleepy baby poses many are looking for.
Little T was came into the world 3 weeks early, so it was understandably more difficult for him to come in so early for his first appointment with the camera! Regardless of age, mom and I worked together and had a lot of fun with this sweet little guy.
We had many alert and wide eyed moments to capture (including first actual smile at his mommy!) but eventually he succumbed to his tired eyes and we were able to snap some beautiful poses of him!
If you are looking for newborn photos, I am a CAPPA trained Postpartum Doula and do offer a huge amount of experience not only with my camera, but also in how to handle, soothe and read your new baby's signals.
Hope you enjoy some of little "T's" first photos.

I have been really fortunate meeting many wonderful people since my family and I moved to Milton, ON almost 7 years ago (this beautiful mamma included). When I found out she was expecting one more tiny new addition to her family I was beyond thrilled for her.
In only a few short weeks she will be welcoming this beautiful baby! I cannot wait to meet her/him when he/she arrives!
At 37 weeks along, she's looking absolutely remarkable. Hope you enjoy a few sneak peeks from her session xo
I have been lucky enough to have photographed two of this family's three little ones. Meeting baby number 3 (their second little man) was such a pleasure. He was absolutely perfect in every way and his mom and dad were even nicer to catch up with. It was such a great pleasure getting to know this adorable little man. You are truly a blessed family xo
Another sweet little man in the studio yesterday! He was as easy going as they come...but he did not want to close his eyes! LOL! There was just too much going on in the world for this little man to watch!
A little bit of patience and some great fun together with this family and we did catch some beautiful moments with this gorgeous family xoxo
Yesterday we had a beautiful little bean in. This little man was a soft and sweet as could be. I had such a wonderful time photographing him and just as much fun enjoying the laughs and conversations with his mom and dad. Congratulations to you both on your handsome little new family member. He is a perfect gem xoxo Milton Newborn Photographer
I've had the pleasure of photographing this cutie throughout the past year. From his beautiful mama's maternity, newborn, baptism, Santa and now first year pics! I can't believe just how quickly a year can pass by. He is adorable, smiley and such a charmer. Wishing you the happiest birthday "M"...hope your day is as special as you are Milton Baby Photographer
