Their Little Fireman ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

Last week I was completely spoiled again by the best family every! You met Mom a few short weeks ago, and she finally gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! They were so fun, their baby slept like a charm and they brought me coffee!! Dad is an Ottawa fire fighter, so he brought along a special prop for us to play with! He's also a coffee roaster, so check his site out to order some pretty amazing coffee! www.firehauscoffee.com. Here's their sneak peek:

I'm here, with a Newborn Video to share!

I've been a little swamped lately, this is why the blog is being a little neglected! I just wanted to share this cute little video of one of my last Newborn's Baby "A". A real cutie pie!! Enjoy Mom and Dad!

Newborn Baby "C" at 3 weeks ~ Ottawa Newborn Photography

I had the great pleasure of having an old friend and her husband come by with their brand new baby girl, a mere 3 weeks old! Baby "C" was a beautiful girl, with perfect skin and a wonderfully sleepy disposition!! Mom is a quilter, so she brought along one of her latest creations, which was so much fun and added a splash of colour to the shoot. Here is her sneak peek, enjoy!

36 Weeks Maternity Photography ~ Ottawa Maternity Photographer

This beautiful Mom of one handsome little guy already, is 36 weeks along, with only 4 short weeks to go before baby is due. Mom and Dad were so relaxed and fun to work with, I am very much looking forward to the arrival of the new baby! Here is her sneak peek:

Baby "K" and her smiling eyes ~ Ottawa Baby Photographer

I was so happy to have Baby "K" come back to my studio last week and I have to say she has the happiest eyes every! She is absolutely gorgeous, and was a charm to photograph at 7 months! While she may not have been 100% cooperative to sit there and be a perfect little girl, it really didn't matter because her pure beauty does it all for her! I must say though, that her Mommy and Daddy, may have their hands full in the next few years!! :) Thanks for coming up guys!

Pretty little "N" 11 days old ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

It seemed that all the babies in August decided to make their appearance a little earlier than anticipated! Baby "N" arrived a couple weeks early, probably wanting to get in as much summer as possible in her first year. We did our session at day 11, and being a girl she fought us a little in the beginning, but gave in completely for a good hour or so. All I can say is cuteness all around!!

baby "A" at 3 weeks ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

Little Baby "A" decided to surprise his parents by arriving just a few weeks early! Due around the date of his photo shoot, he came 3 weeks early, catching Mom and Dad just a little off guard. However, being their second baby, they handled it perfectly and were the most relaxed parents ever! Here is a little sneak peek:

I'm Back... with a few updates!

I had a wonderful holiday with my family in August, now it's time to get back to work, get ready for school and get organized!! While my time off was wonderful it was tinged with some sadness with a passing of a great friend of mine, so I did a quick trip to Vancouver to be there for her family. It also brought home the need to hug your kids, hug your spouse and tell everyone how much you love them, and how much they mean to you.

Right after my holidays I was treated to the beauty of two newborn babies, a cute boy and a sweet little girl. I also had the opportunity to shoot an 7 month old baby girl I met as a tiny one week old back in February. Read on, as I will dedicate a post to each, because each deserve their moment to shine!

Finally, my Photographing Your Children Photography Workshop is coming up in just a few short weeks. I'm looking forward to another fun session with parents and grand-parents teaching them how to use their SLR the way it's meant to be used and to start capturing the essence of their kids in a more creative way. There are about 4 spots remaining, and if you pop on over to my Facebook Fan page at: Christine Denis Photography on Facebook and become a fan of mine, you will qualify for 15% off your registration fee totaling $57 off!! For those who can not attend, but would like to offer up your 3-10 year olds as models for the practical session on Saturday from 12-3, contact me at info [at] christinedenis.com.

Now stay tuned for some newborn beauty!

Sleeping Prince ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

My last session before my summer holidays was amazing. I was lucky to have a local Chelsea family stop by with their new little guy, Baby "T". They brought along their first daughter, 2 1/2 year old "N", who was a real beauty, but not quite ready to sit holding her new little brother quite yet! Regardless, she was a real beauty and we'll give it another go with her soon! This little guy was actually not so little, weighing in at 9 lbs - two weeks early, and slept like a charm the entire session. Here are some of my favourite photographs to share with you all, enjoy!

Beautiful First Time Mother ~ Ottawa Maternity Photography

Last weekend, the most relaxed and beautiful parents came all the way from Montreal to see me. Well OK, they were visiting family, but did take some time out on Sunday for a maternity session at my place and I'm so glad they did!! Due in only 3 weeks, Mom looks amazing and ready to meet her new little girl, as am I. Here are a few favourites from the session:

7 Day Old Baby "M" Video ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

I just had to share this preview video of a few select favourites from my session last week with baby "M"... she was just so sweet!

Beautiful 7 Day Old Baby Girl ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

Last week I so happy to welcome back Mommy "J" and her new little Baby "M"! At only 7 days old, baby had the most beautiful little face and features, and beautiful skin ever! But will all that beauty comes a sparky little personality and a strong need to be wrapped up! Never the less, we managed to capture her in her "natural" element and all bundled up and happy... Thanks Mom and Dad for all your hard work and I hope you like your sneak peek!

Baby "R" at 6 months ~ Ottawa Baby Photographer

We had little baby "R" come back for a visit last week. You may remember her from her first visit at 4 weeks old and now here she is, cuter than ever, at 6 months old! She was a determined little girl, who made us all work for that gorgeous smile, but definitely worth that work. The little dimple alone was worth the goofs we made of ourselves to smile!! :)

Teaching Mom ~ Ottawa Photography Workshop

Last month, I put on my Photographing Your Children Workshop which was a great success and loads of fun, unfortunately this Mom was on vacation during the course, so I put on a private workshop just for her. On Saturday, we met at a park for the practical session, bringing our kids along as our models. It was HOT, but the kids didn't seem to notice and had a good time sliding swinging and jumping off of picnic tables! I find it amazing how two strangers, 3 and 5 years old, can just meet and then play together so well for 2 hours, I only wish adults were so accommodating! ;) Here is a peek at our time at the park learning about, Aperture, Shutter Speed, and photographing your children - in the heat!
