Every new and pregnant mother needs to visit Lorraine at Maternity Essentials.  She offers amazing products and classes.  And you can see her at the upcoming Baby Show on September 28th and 29th, 2013.  She is one of the many speakers you may see there.  Her talk is “Can’t Wait for Baby: Understanding Labour Induction”.  I hope you are able to get to the Baby Show, and if not…please visit her at Maternity Essentials at 250 Greenbank Road.  You can tell her I sent you!  And you just may spot some of my artwork on her walls while you’re there.

I have to admit, I was a tad scared to work with these girls.  Mom and Dad were nervous because their newborn portrait session did not go very well with their first child.  (I think at this point they were anticipating the worst…heehee.)  And as I walked in the door, Mom mentions that her oldest daughter does not like having her photo taken, oh – and doesn’t like new people either!  I was pretty sure that this would be an interesting day.

But seriously, I don’t know if this session could have gone ANY better.  Big sister was smiling for the photos and LOVED holding her new baby sister.  (That one is always a gamble when working with a toddler and a new baby.)  How adorable are they?!?!  And THEN, little miss newbie was a rockstar!  Once she had a full belly, she was willing to snuggle up to anything.  Which worked well for me.  All in all, I’d give this family an A+!!

There are a few things that will make for a successful newborn session.  Make sure you have a full baby.  Keep the room nice and toasty warm.  Have LOTS of patience.  And go with the flow.  If you’d like to talk about K Photo and Design photographing your new baby, please contact me while you are still pregnant.  I look forward to hearing from you!!

This little guy made me work hard.  But SO worth it!  He decided to arrive a little early, so we didn’t get a chance to meet up until he was about 3 weeks old.  And at this time he was quite alert (although you wouldn’t be able to tell that from these photos.  Heehee.)  If Mom was touching him, he was fine.  But the minute she let go…he’d let you know about it!  I loved his adoring looks at his parents too.  It was SO cute!  Smile

I have a small baby-boom coming up this Spring.  Can’t WAIT to photograph all those little babies.  If you’re expecting, it’s never to early to start planning for your newborn portrait session.  I would love to hear from you! Open-mouthed smile

So glad we managed to squeeze in mommy’s maternity session (here) before these little munchkins arrived only a week later!  Small but feisty.  That’s what I’m going to say about these boys.  I had no idea how I was going to tell them apart, as they are the first set of IDENTICAL twins I’ve photographed.  I was hoping we weren’t going to end up with all the photos of one baby, and the other one – nothing!  But it didn’t take long to recognize that there were a few differences.  Thank goodness!!  These boys are going to keep mom and dad on their toes though.  Already at only 3 weeks old they could not help but punch each other a few times!!  Disappointed smile

I was completely shocked!  And WRONG!  Sometimes I have a mild feeling as to whether a couple may be having a boy or girl, but I had such a STRONG feeling this little one would be a boy.  And in this day and age, MOST people will find out ahead of time.  So it’s unique to have to wait the whole 9 months to find out if you’re painting a room pink or blue.  When mom announced they had a girl, I almost didn’t believe them.  Check out this bump, does that not look like a boy hidden away in there??

If my job looks easy, it seriously was this day.  This gal was the sweetest little thing.  She was so sleepy and happy the whole time.  I mean, check out that smile!  Have you ever seen such a big grin??  I could go on and on about how adorable she was, but I’d rather SHOW you.  Smile

I have a really hard time NOT falling in love with these teeny little babies.  And this baby girl was no exception.  Before I even met her I was in love with her name.  Ruby was one of my own name choices (which got vetoed by my hubby)!  She was seriously the perfect little angel.  Slept all the way up until we did the family photos; had a little snack, and was ready to get back to work.  And even though she was nearing on 3 weeks old, she was still just over 6lbs!  I absolutely loved how she liked to stretch her legs out so straight.  Perhaps she’ll be an Olympic gymnast?  (Look for her in 2028!)

(I know…it seems as if I am VERY late posting this.)  I was extremely excited to hear of this baby boy arriving Christmas morning!  I mean, what better gift could there possibly be?  A few complications left him in hospital a little longer than expected.  But he is now a very happy, healthy, chubby baby boy!  And SUPER adorable!!  His big sisters just adore him.  And Mom and Dad were so happy to have their little family all home together.  If you want to take a peek at their maternity session, click hereOpen-mouthed smile  (BTW: I LOVE his flirty smile!!)

I was so happy to be asked to photograph this little munchkin.  I had the pleasure of photographing his big sis as a newbie as well.  And it was so much fun trying to pick out the similarities and differences between the two.  I find he looks so much like Dad, while she looked very much like Mom.  And they are BOTH extremely cute!!  This was big sis way back when; and again a few months ago when we met for some pre Christmas maternity and family photos.  I just love how laid back and comfortable Mom and Dad are in their parenting roles.  It’s always a fun time to hang out while capturing these cuties.  Smile
