I'm leaving for Toronto on Sunday and I'll be gone for 5 days so that meant extra busy days the last couple weeks. This soon-to-be-family-of-3 agreed to meet me really early. I was so excited for some early morning sunrise shots but, of course, this was the first cloudy overcast day we'd had in a while.
The beauty of photographing on location is that I get to discover some truly amazing locations in the lower mainland. I think this spot is going to be a new favourite - so many possibilities!

It's amazing what a difference a couple weeks make. Usually I photograph newborns between 5 and 10 days old but this little guy I photographed when he was 3 weeks old. It can be harder at this age to get babies to sleep the way I need them to in order to get those peaceful sleeping baby images. But between me, his mama and his proud daddy, we managed to get him to sleep.
Love this one of him sleeping in his daddy's arm.

Remember this maternity session that I shared earlier this week? This gorgeous little girl now makes them a family of three.
Newborns are best photographed between 5 and 10 days old so I ask all my clients to include me in their email when they announce their new arrival to friends and family. My first thought when I received the email about this little one is that she has such a beautiful face and I couldn't wait to photograph her.
Her parents wanted to make sure we got some of those sleepy baby photographs - my favourite kind! Check and mark.
I absolutely love the dreamy look of this next one.
Does she not have fabulously big baby blues? Her mama told me about them but since Miss C was sleeping when I arrived, I didn't get to experience them for myself until halfway through the session. I've never had a baby go from complete sleep to wide-eyed and smiling back to complete sleep in such a short amount of time.
This one made me laugh. Okay photographer lady, not sure about being wrapped up like a burrito like this. And boy did she fight it. I had to be quick for these shots because, even with my super baby-swaddling skills, she still made a great Houndini.
Thanks so much for inviting me into your home.

Isn't this family gorgeous? We had to reschedule once because of rain and little Miss M wasn't sure she loved the evening session but we still got some beautiful images.

This isn't a sneak peek as they saw their images ages ago but I'm getting ready to post a sneak peek of the of the little bundle inside this mama's tummy and wanted you to see some of the "before" shots first.
There are so many amazing walls and textures at Granville Island which make it perfect for belly shots.
Definitely one of my faves from this session...

In the midst of a whole bunch of editing but a few quick ones from this session because I know they're waiting.....
I love the wings on dad's shirt in behind his son.

This family has the friendliest dog ever. But she wants nothing to do with Baby A. I just love her expression in this one - "you can take my picture but I'm not going to look at him".

WOW! I just love the one of Dad and baby with the tattoos and shirt - it is exactly the type of shot I was envisioning.... and yes the dog in this one is not exactly into the baby yet - she basically ignores him right now! yet she always wants to lie near us so I think she is warming up. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!

I've been doing sneak peeks via email this past month but I'm going to try and do the next few sneak peeks online.
I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy and his family in their gorgeous Yaletown condo last week.
And because he was such an amazing eater, there was lots of time to photograph his big sister.
Aren't her glasses gorgeous? She picked them out herself. And everytime they went into the store, she picked out the same ones. That's a girl who knows her own mind.
And yes, I would have smuggled this gorgeous chair out of there if I thought I could have gotten away with it.
Mister G was still feeding so time for some shots of daddy and his little girl.
One of my favourite parts of newborn shoots is hearing about the birth story - and this one was probably the most beautiful one I've heard. Lately a lot of the families I photograph have delivered with Pacific Midwifery and I've been so impressed with everything I've heard.
His mama is a huge proponent of babywearing and has the most gorgoues selection of baby wraps. I tried to wear Angelo when he was first born but quickly got frustrated with it. I wish now I'd tried harder. She turned me on to TheBabyWearer website which has loads of great information that I'll definitely be using when we have another one.
Hello bright eyes!
And because of all the feeding I know his mama was worried we didn't get any sleepy baby photographs. Don't worry, we definitely did. And I think the one on the right is one of my new favourites.
Thanks again for the privilege of photographing your growing family!

Lots to share over the next few weeks as I get caught up on blogging again - a maternity session, some family sessions and a whole lot of newborns.
Little Miss K was right at the end of where we usually get lots of sleepy baby time but she was an absolute dream for our session.

Hello pouty lips!
I love it when I can capture a smile at this age....
I told you she was an amazing sleeper.

Loving this tender moment with her mama. Definitely worth the little accident on your beautiful white duvet - sorry about that!
Don't you love her expression in this last one? Okay crazy lady, I'm done having my picture taken now.
