Maternity Love:: Michelle, her mom and sister

I was happy and excited when Michelle contact me about her pregnancy, expecting her first bundle in July.  We use to work together when we were in our late teens, oh yeah, sometime 13 years ago!  The last time we bumped into each other when my friend got married in 2010.  It's crazy how much time has past and how we have all grown and are having children.  Michelle and Ryan have decided to keep the sex of the baby until the day of birth.  It amazes me that couples can keep that suspense, for sure next time I THINK I might want to keep it a surprise!

Congratulations hon, so happy for this new chapter in your life!  You look stunning! And perfect photo location!

 

I loved that she brought her mother, sister and her precious dog, Farley (in later pictures)

                                                   So sweet, laughter between the girls!

                                                               LOVE this ONE!!! Sigh...

                                                          I love the lighting, shot at 6/6:30pm.

                                                                         Mother + Daughter

                                                      Sisterly Love minus one in West Coast

                                         Oh how beautiful is this expecting mom and cherry blossom?

 Thank you so much for asking me to take your bump!  I wish I could be there to photograph your...baby BOY!  Yes, she had a boy, congratulations!!!

B Family Session plus Belly!

This year has been a busy one for bellies!  It contagious, I am getting very close to thinking about having a sibling for my son.

Kate contacted me in the beginning of April for her outdoor family/maternity session.  I could tell instantly after speaking to her on the phone, she was someone special, truly wonderful person I have got to know in just 15 minutes.  Our session was rained not only once but twice.  After we spoke, we would ring each other and ask if we should wing it with the sprinkles.  I am glad we did not.  We finally got our day on Mother's Day.  The lighting was beautiful in Menotomy Rocks.

Their adorable calm yet shy daughter warmed up to the camera just after a few minutes.  She reminded me so much of my son, very observant to people around them, quiet, patient and very gentle.

We had a great session!  I am happy that my son and I have a new friend.  I can't wait to meet your baby boy (who just arrived!)  Stay tune.

Thank you so much for asking to take your photos:)

 One of my favourite pictures of Big Sister O and baby brother!

 In LOVE with this photo, especially of Dad :)

 Being photographed is hard work!  How about some play time?

 Awwww

Expecting First-time:: V & T :: High Park, Toronto, Canada

You may remember my cousin got married last fall at the Boiler House in Toronto, Canada.  Not long after their honeymoon in the Thailand, we found out their exciting news...they were expecting!  I literally could see it when she posted pictures here and their during her honeymoon on Facebook and she definitely had the "glow".  I am super excited to meet this little one, coming this July!  Congratulations to you and your hubby.  Can't wait to meet her, that's right, she's having a girl.  XO

 

 

 

 

Baby Bump Beauty + J Family

I've been very excited to post this beautiful, glowing momma + bump (due mid-March), her hubby and sweet daughter! Of course it took A LOT longer than I anticipated to blog.  I really love maternity sessions.  We were lucky to have such a mild morning in the middle of January...completely green (can't complain, right?!)  I can't wait to meet Baby K when she arrives!!!  She's going to be a beauty just like her mom, dad and big sister :)

{love} family bond time

Aweeeee Miss K...

 

She's pretty excited to be a big sister and she will make a great one!

 There is such a sweetness in her eyes...

 

Let's get on our shoes...

One of my favorite J family picture!

 

LOVED this idea, marching band!

 

Sooo cute

Just stunning!  I heard a wive's tale when women are pregnant with a baby girl, they apparently take away a mother's beauty, I DON'T THINK SO!  Not even close!

 

Have I mentioned how much I love photo shooting outdoors? LOL

 

Funny faces do make great photographs?!

 LOVE LOVE LOVE

 Can't wait to meet you Baby Kate! xx
