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!! :)
