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!! :)

My Baby Girl ~ Chelsea Baby Photographer

I had the opportunity to shoot with studio lights this past weekend, so I decided to set them up at home and take a few photographs of my baby! She was an excellent model, considering she had just woken up from her nap! Here she is, my 10 month old baby girl, with her red hair and VERY fair skin.. I'll have to keep this one out of the sun for sure!

13 Days ~ Ottawa Newborn Photography

Oh was I ever spoiled with this little guy!! Usually when client arrives and takes their little baby out of the car seat, they usually wake up immediately, but not this boy. If they aren't awake after that, then usually they wake up after taking their onesie off, but not this one. For sure the diaper does it, but no, this little guy just wanted to sleep! So I was spoiled! Here is a sneak peek at just some of the amazing photos I captured of this little newborn baby boy, and there will probably be more to come, I'm only 1/2 way through...

2 1/2 week old Baby Boy ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

Who says you can't photograph a newborn older than 10 days?? While I'd admit that they are a little harder to get to sleep, I have lots of patience and Mom has lots of milk and eventually we will get them to sleep! This little guy was no exception, he was quite alert at first, but eventually gave into our charm and sleep wonderfully for us. Unfortunately he did wake up and we had to abandon mission on a specific pose, but overall I was super happy with the results! I hope Mom is too!

"J" The Adorable Little Runner ~ Ottawa Family Photography

A week ago I was so excited to be able to wander around downtown Ottawa for a fun and FAST family session. We met on Sparks street, stopped in at Darcy McGees, visited the National War Memorial and ended at the Canal. Although, I'd have to admit that I'm lying when I say "wander", as little "J" was one fast and busy little toddler! Mom and Dad had him in his special Jackson Family tartan outfit, which was so darn cute, it was unbearable :) He had me running like a nut with a camera stuck to my face! It was tiring, but definitely worth it because I got my workout in an some adorable shots in the process! Thanks again for the fun evening!

Newborn Baby "C" ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

I'm finally catching up on some posting! This cute little newborn from Ottawa came to visit me at the beginning of April. He was so good, sleepy, no big messes ;), and smiled like crazy!! It was a joy to photograph him and his beautiful Mommy! Here are some of my favourites:

Baby "K" visits again ~ Ottawa Baby Photographer

Way back in February I had the opportunity to do Baby "K"'s newborn session. Even though she was 17 days old back in Feb, she was a beauty to photograph - sleeping for us like a charm and cute as a button... or so I thought then. Well fast forward to last week and I had another opportunity to visit K again, and WOW is she ever cute now!!! I tell ya, she will keep her parents a hopping when she is older!! Again she was a charm to photograph, I could have stayed all day... but I think mom would have thought that was weird!! ;) Here are a few of the extra shots I went to get for her Mom and her beautiful little face! Enjoy:

Baby Madison's 8 Month Photo Sessions ~ Ottawa Baby Photography

I'm desperately trying to catch up on proofing, ordering and blogging and it's tough with 3 little kids, a husband and a dog to take care of! Ok the husband can take care of himself, but the rest do need my full attention all the time! Of course, I did have to take time out this week for my baby's own photography session, and it lasted a whole 2 days!! She was subject to my set changes, outfit changes, tutus, and necklaces and was amazing about it!

On the first day I had a friend of mine, Danielle, come up and shoot with me, as I thought it would be fun to have company. On the second day, my eldest daughter helped me out by getting her to giggle and wipe her drool when needed (teething in full swing here!). Here is a little glimpse at some of what I captured:

Sweet Newborn Girl 7 Days Old ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

This sweet little newborn baby girl was well worth the wait! I was so happy to be able to photograph her as her parents are old friends of mine, and they worked so hard to get her!! Their persistence was well worth it, she was beautiful. However, I think she'll give them a run for their money, she's a determined little girl, but it's all part of the fun!! She LOVED to be awake and watch the world go by, but we managed to convince her that sleep was much better... and finally she agreed! Here are a select sample of what we captured last week, enjoy!

Beautiful Baby "A" continued! ~ Ottawa Baby Photographer

I meant to post more photos from our session with Baby Ava from back in January, but was swamped with work and life time got away from me!! Now that things have quieted down a little, I'm able to go back and catch up on all that I've missed! You may remember little Ava, at 10 months, she had the most beautiful skin and eyes, and giggled at everything - she was truly a pleasure to shoot!

Channelling Stephanie Robin ~ Chelsea Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of attending a mentoring session with Stephanie Robin a couple weeks ago and I was eager to practice what I learned! Luckily a friend just had a baby so she came by with beautiful little Lola and of the many fun and cute shots, I got this one!

How Stephanie helped me on this one was teaching me how the pose was executed, the set up and most importantly post processing - for you photogs out there - check out her mentoring sessions, they are well worth the trip to Burlington!!

7 Month Old Baby "K" ~ Ottawa Baby Photographer

Last week little baby "K" came to visit and she was all smiles and giggles! Her big sister had a lot to do with it! She did a great job being my assistant and making her little sister laugh! Thanks for coming along for the session! Here is Mommy's sneak peek:

Thumbs up to a great session!

17 Days Baby "K" ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

Just before heading off to Burlington, I had the pleasure of photographing beautiful baby "K"! She was so good for me and so beautiful - the shoot just flew by! Here is the sneak peek for her mom and dad. Enjoy!
