Baby Kai | 9 Days New | Niagara Newborn Photographer
Welcome Baby Kai! A few weeks ago I did a maternity session with Mark and Stacey who were expecting their first baby. I am so excited to say HERE HE IS and he is so handsome. We had a great newborn session that was full of many surprises to which you can ask Mark and Stacey about. We sure did a lot of laughing and had a few wardrobe changes, including me. Here are some takes from the day.
Congratulations Mark and Stacey on the birth of Kai William!
Baby Shyla | 6 weeks | Niagara Baby and Children’s Photographer
When I first started off last year, I wasn’t sure how busy I was going to be in my first year. My goal was to get my name out there, but how? I trusted my friends and family to spread the word for me and I had a great first year. I always like to find out from my customers how they found out about me. So far word-of-mouth has been successful for me but in this case, a random search for “children’s photographers” worked in my favour.
You just never know.
Amanda contacted me about booking a baby session for her 6 week old daughter Shyla. It was a great session with great moments captured. Even a few of her big sister made it into the collection. Here are some favourites for you to enjoy.
Baby Andi Turns 1 | Cupcake Smash | Niagara Children’s Photographer
Along with my love of being a wife, mother, and photographer, I love being an Aunt. My sweet little niece Andi was turning 1 and her mom wanted to have some special pictures taken to celebrate this milestone. This photo session involved balloons which ended up blowing away and a cupcake smash. It was a fun afternoon and here are some of my favourites to share with you. Happy Birthday Baby Andi! Love Auntie Kristi
Mark & Stacey | Expecting | Niagara Maternity Photographer
An exciting part of being a parent is sharing in the joy with others when they are about to enter the world of parenthood. As a photographer, I get to capture these special moments during this stage of preparation. I am so glad that expecting parents take the time to take these photos because when you are surrounded by baby toys, diapers and a crying baby, you forget about the beautiful miracle of those 9 important months.
Mark and Stacey were such a great couple to share one of these special moments with. Not only did we get some great shots, we shared so many great stories of how they first met and got to this point in their journey together. Now they are entering another chapter in their adventure together and here are few captured moments from this day. Congratulations Mark and Stacey!
Henley | Niagara Newborn Photographer | Niagara Children’s Photographer
Well, it’s January which means I can say “Happy New Year”! The best part about it being a new year is that you can set new goals to reach new dreams and this year I hope to do that. 2011 was an amazing year with so many firsts for me as a photographer and I hope to continue to learn and grow and meet new people this coming year.
Now to the good stuff!
I had the joy of photographing Nathan and Ally during a maternity session. A New year brings News of a New baby boy to New parents. Congratulations Nathan and Ally on your beautiful baby boy Henley. I like to call him my {Mini} as his middle name is Cooper. Love him! Here is a peek of some my favourites.
Baby Kenna | Niagara Newborn Photographer
I was filled with JOY when I heard the news of the birth of baby Kenna. It was an early gift for Alicia and Mike, Zach and Toby but one worth receiving this Christmas season.
She was a delight to photograph and here are a few moments to share.
Holiday Of Lights | Niagara Children’s Photographer
One of my big projects this holiday season was to update my Father & Mother-in-law’s picture frame with new photos of their 9 grandchildren.
That meant it was time to get 9 little elves all dressed up and come over to Auntie Kristi’s studio for a fun filled Christmas photo session. As you can see already, we had some fun!
Here we go…
One photographer from the States blogged about a great lighting technique using Christmas lights and I really wanted to try it out. Here are my takes.
By the way… my Mother-in-law loved her gift! Merry Christmas everyone!
The Gordon Girls | Niagara Children’s Photographer
Little Molly and baby Violet have been in the studio several times before and this time it was for the holidays.
One thing I have learned about photographing children is that no matter how many ideas and plans you may have, you might not have the opportunity to do them all.
Here are a few special moments between these two sisters from this holiday session. There are just a few but definitely my favourites.
Teague Turns 1 | The Babony Family | Niagara Children’s Photographer
It was time to pack up my equipment and head out to one of the Wonders Of The World, Niagara Falls, Ontario to meet my next client, little Teague.
Teague just turned 1 and it was a perfect opportunity to get all dressed up with mom and dad to take some pictures. The Babony family were a lot of fun to hang out with and the weather was on our side the whole afternoon. We even had a chance to check out the candy shop on Clifton Hill. What a treat! P.S. – There is more then one fountain in the park at the bottom Clifton Hill. Who knew? Here is a peek at our afternoon of Fun at the Falls.
Here Comes Baby | Ally & Nathan | Niagara Maternity Photographer
This is a story about a girl and a guy who are expecting their first baby and wanted to have some pictures taken.
The day started out pretty nice. It was a bit windy but the sun was shining and it was a perfect day for a photo shoot. The time came to meet and at that instant, the rain starting coming down in buckets. We decided to drive to our location and see if it would slow down. Then the wind picked up and the rain turned to freezing rain. It came down so hard it felt like hail. Then that freezing rain turned into snow. What were we to do?
Nathan and Ally were such troopers. This photo shoot was going to happen no matter what was falling from the sky. We had so much fun and laughed so hard at times it didn’t matter what was happening outside. By the end of the hour, the sun was shining and we could finish off our session with some beautiful moments. Here are a few of those special moments of an amazing couple who will soon be blessed with the most precious gift of all.
Congratulations Nathan and Ally!
Ella & Julia Turn 1 | Niagara Children’s Photographer
It was a treat to have twins Julia and Ella come by the studio for a birthday session. Julia and Ella were turning 1 and mom wanted to have some pictures taken for the celebration. These little girls were so much fun and had so much energy I had to catch my breath in the middle of it all. I can only imagine what it is like everyday in the lives of these little precious gifts. Here are a few of my favourite moments captured that day. Happy Birthday Ella and Julia!
Kristy and Steve | Niagara Children and Family Photographer
Here is what I am working on today. I had the pleasure of working with an amazing family on Monday. It was a lot of fun and busy, busy, busy. Steve, Kristy and the kids were so easy to work with. They had great ideas to add to the experience and just went with the flow. That sure makes my job easy! Enjoy this little peek into the lives of this lovely family of 4 and don’t forget to come back, there will be more.
It has been a busy 2 weeks and I wanted to share some of my favorites with you.
Baby Violet | Niagara Children’s Photographer
June 27, 2011
It was a delight to have baby Violet come for a visit. It was perfect timing, just before we were headed out on our vacation. This is the third sitting with the Gordon family and it is so much fun watching our friends families grow. What a sweet addition to the family Brad, Erin and big sister Molly. Thanks for the visit and come again soon. Enjoy this sneak peek!
Baby Violet – 10 Days Old
Baby Logan | Niagara Newborn Photographer | Niagara Children’s Photographer
June 22, 2011
One of the best parts of being a photographer is the chance to share in the joy of the birth of a new baby. When Tracy called me to photograph her new baby grandson, I jumped at the opportunity to share in her joy. He was so good and mom and dad did great too. Enjoy these special moments with a sweet little boy. Congratulations Tracy on the birth of your first grandson. He is beautiful!
Baby Logan – 7 Days Old
Baby Katelyn | Niagara Children’s Photographer
May 3, 2011
Well, I can’t say it enough. I love being an Auntie and I love taking pictures of babies. When you put those two together, you have a perfect photo shoot. Baby Katelyn was just a delight. She may not of liked being on her belly but with a few little tricks we were able to pull it off. Little tricks, I mean Big Brother Brayden to the rescue. Thanks buddy for your help! Here is a sneak peek.
Baby Andi | Niagara Children’s Photographer
April 30, 2011
I am so excited to announce that I am an Auntie once again and even more thrilled to be the one chosen to photograph little Andi today. She was so precious and thank goodness she was so good as this was my first newborn photo shoot. She did amazing and so did Mom. Thanks Gillian for an amazing afternoon and I can’t wait for more photo shoots with your beautiful family. Here is a sneak peek.
