A couple of cuties! {Brantford Family Photography}

I love these two cuties. Here are just a couple of my ultimate favourite photos from a family session I had over Thanksgiving weekend! I wanted to share these two pictures. More will come up soon, but I couldn't resist sneaking these in :)

Fun at Hermitage in Dundas!! {Hamilton Family Photographer}

I think each photographer has those few families who keep coming back for photos once, twice, or even three times a year. This is one of my families. I adore each and every one of them. The 3 boys are so high energy and absolutely loveable, and little Baby H, the youngest and only girls, who I got to photographed first in Mummy's tummy, then when she was about 3 weeks old and only 5pds, is nearly 1 now!! She just looks quietly around her to see what her big brother's are up to! I was welcomed with a big hug from the youngest boy, and managed to get one out of all of them by the end of the session :) The middle boy is a little harder to crack than his siblings, but with a bribe of some cheese strings, I got his cooperation, and even a giant hug, at last! For this session, we headed to Hermitage in the Dundas Conservation Park in Dundas. There are some amazing stone walls there and great scenery, not to mention LEAVES this time of year! Mamma Julie get SO excited about having photos taken, and cannot rest until I have shown her a few. Here is your sneak peek, Julie, now you can stop skulking my facebook lol ;)

One!

TWO!!

Baby H makes THREE!


FOUR!! Four little monkies in total!

The three boys...literally, about 25 seconds before and after this photo was taken, they were wrestling with each other and crawling all over big bro! LOL so fun!!

THE WHOLE FAMILY!! YAY!! I always think of these as miracle shots :)

Everyone in the leaves!

I always try to take some time for at least one picture of mom & dad...I have a camera in my hand and a baby on my hip for this photograph!

Thank you again, family, for a wonderful session. I know I will be seeing at least a couple of you in the next few weeks for Baby H's smash cake! It'll be a blast!!

What a Pumpkin!! Baby P at 4 Months! {Brantford Baby Photography}

Baby P is part of the Baby's First Year Program, which means I have the opportunity to photograph him every few months throughout his first year, and capture different stages and milestones he meets! I love this program, it is my favourite!! I get to see these babies grow up and capture their various stages. It's awesome!! Here is Baby P's 4 month photos - he's laying on his belly holding his head up and smiling SOOO big! Thank you to his mum & dad for being good sports and heading out to Apps Mill to capture some of these amazing leaves! I hope you love this series of photos. The rest are on their way :)

He was mesmorized by the swaying trees, but tickles managed to get him to crack this HUGE grin!!

A beautiful family!

"Whoa! All of these leaves everywhere are amazing!!"

Thanks again, you three!

6 Month Old, Baby A!

This little monkey (or owl...) came to visit from quite a distance away! I love how technology can link people from out of town. While visiting grandma, this little one came in (with mom, of course!) for some 6-month photos to make the milestone. I LOVE this age. The facial expressions are hilarious and they will still let you put hats on them without ripping them off all the time (as 1 year olds tend to do do lol). So, we managed to put this little girl 'A' through hat changes, costume changes and captured some super fun photos to mark her 6-month stage! Here are a few of my favourites:

I adore these hats - I'm a little addicted to buying them, actually...a hat for every age for boys & girls is my goal...and I have made it there and then some haha :)

This face is priceless! She was not happy about something I said to her lol

As always, pearls! The girls love this necklace...and the ruffels on the bum just complete the entire outfit!

Sometime I get custom editing for things like Sepia tone and Selective colour, as seen here. I always like to make it known that I am flexible and can do some fun things with your photos when it comes to the editing process!

I adore when babies find their toes, it's so cute!

A few seasonal photos for the upcoming Christmas season

And to celebrate this time of year, a fall set up complete with pumpkins, straw bales and a pretty red leaf :)

Thank you for coming to visit and a wonderful session! Hope to see you again on your 1st birthday for some cake smashing!!!

Fun Family Session! {Brantford Family Photographer}

I really must admit, being a photographer is a seriously amazing job! It allows me to be creative, and to work with people each and every day! I get to work with some really amazing people. This family, was absolutely awesome! We headed to Apps Mill just outside Brantford, on one of the busiest photography weekends of the year (Thanksgiving) and we had a ball, laughing through the whole session. They were playing tricks on each other, coming up with their own fun photo opportunities, and I was there to capture it all! It was an absolute blast. I am thankful I had the chance to photograph this family, and here are a few of my favourites from the day....although there are SO many it was tough to choose:

Thanks again! The rest will be on their way very soon :)

Temple Family! {Hamilton Family Photography}

I absolutely love this family! It may or may not be because they ARE my family, but either way, they're awesome and there are some adorable children kicking around in it! This past weekend, I got to photograph my cousins and their little ones at a local park / museum just outside of Barrie. It was an amazing spot with some great colours, and we had a beautlful day for photos. Here are a few of many of my favourites:

Ahhh, little girl Z isn't so little anymore...she's all grown up and still looking freakin adorable even sans her front teeth :)

DOUBLE TROUBLE!!

The whole family!

I haven't photographed Baby D in about a year - he has changed so much - what a handsome little guy with BIG smiles :D

Just hanging out in the leaves...

Thanks, family! It was awesome to see you all and I can't wait to show you the rest of your photos! Hope you love them so far!

September brings baby girls?! [Hamilton Infant Photography]

September has been the month of baby girls! I have photographed 2 newborn baby girls, and an expectant mother who is about to have a baby girl....I don't think I've had this many baby girls around me within a week of each other :) It's interesting how it goes in waves. Sometimes I feel as though I mostly photograph girls, and other times I feel like I mostly photograph boys...but it really does come in waves. June was a month of boys. I'm going to start keeping stats, maybe?!

Regardless of gender, I get some beautiful babies and lovely families who pass through here. I am so lucky that my job is one where I get to interact with wonderful people, be creative, and photograph seriously adorable children. It's a rough life...really.... ;) This is my latest newborn family. This mama might look familiar if you follow my blog, since I took belly shots of her back in the beginning of July. Baby A was welcomed into the world a few weeks ago, and here she is on her first family / solo diva photo shoot! She did wonderfully, and here are just a few sneak peek images:

just hanging out on dad's arm!

sweet cuddles with mama

another little owl girl! I love this hat :)

that is one seriously squishy / adorable face. I could just pinch those cheeks!!

Thanks for being wonderful!!
