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!
