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.

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....
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.

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!
