The other day I met this lovely family to welcome their brand new baby girl into the world with a natural outdoor newborn session. I’m so thankful that the warm weather is finally here, because capturing new babies, new big brothers and doting parents in the fresh air is a wonderful way to spend a morning! Here is a little sneak peek from this sweet session if you’d like to see! (more…)

TORONTO BABY PHOTOGRAPHER: NATURAL 6 MONTH BABY PORTRAITS
When a baby reaches six-months-old it is a big deal, not only because they are in fact bigger than they were at their newbon stage (obviously) but also because their sweet personalities are beginning to really take shape. One of the biggest regrets I hear from parents is that they didn’t take the time to capture their little guy or gal at the six months stage. Once they hit a year, they are completely different again and practically a toddler! This little girl and her parents and I spent a lovely morning playing around and here is a sneak peek of the results! (more…)

TORONTO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER: MY FAVOURITE 2016 FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY MOMENTS
I have this personal motto that translates really well into my professional life — “You regret the photos that you don’t take.” Personally, I have deeply regret not having more photographs of myself and my family life when I was a teenager. This was before the time of selfies and cell phones and during that awkward time of life where you avoid your own reflection as much as possible. So whenever a family contacts me for a family session and I genuinely thrilled! (more…)
NATURAL TORONTO NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER: FAVOURITE 2016 BABY MOMENTS
I have no words when it comes to photographing babies, because these photo sessions are always truly magical. This teeny tiny person is seeing things for the first time, discovering the world around them as completely new and getting to know their parents. Capturing a family’s earliest days with their little bundle of joys is an enormous privilege and joy. Here is a small sampling of some of my favourite Toronto newborn photography and baby photography moments. Natural, candid and full of happiness — that is what I believe this time of life should be all about. (more…)

TORONTO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER: FALL FAMILY MINIS
Each year when I open up Toronto Fall Mini Sessions I want to write, “Bring me your babies to photograph in the fall colours!” Why?
