If I were to be asked what my favorite part of photographing is, I would have to say, my clients. And I truly do mean that! Family after family, I am always amazed at how happy, thankful and truly awesome they all are! This latest family was no different, or actually, they were. They were even “awesomer” Take some extended family, a language barrier that actually wasn’t a barrier at all, a teenager, a preschooler, a photographer that left her brain some equipment home, some mosquitoes, humidity, a grey flat sky and then add rain to it all. You might think: what a disaster! Well, it couldn’t be further from the truth! These fine people were all about being happy, going with the flow and trying things without a negative word in sight! It couldn’t have gone better! Don’t take my word for it, check these out!

Remember this fantastic double maternity? Well, THE BABIES ARE HERE!! They were due about 2 weeks apart (18th & 27th) and were born just 4 days apart! As luck would have it, I got to photograph this little man yesterday at just 10 days. He is SUCH an awake baby! Aware of everything around him, not a fusser AT ALL. Can I order 3 of those? Once we finally got his tummy full {hello growth spurt feedings} he was OUT. I think the best moments of all, to me, was when he would just fall back to sleep in my arms (mom smelled WAY too good to sleep ) and when he would hear either mom or dad talk, you could totally SEE it in his eyes that he recognized their voice. AMAZING. I LOVE my job!

Because I REALLY couldn’t help myself!!

I had the unique pleasure of meeting this family just yesterday morning. Gorgeous, all of them I tell you. I may have to share a little more soon, because the grandparents were there as well and it was a tremendous success all around in my opinion. See for yourselves!

It’s been a long while since I’ve been here. I’ve been busy busy! Working on revamping my brand and hope to slowly incorporate it to the new website. Yep, new website coming, all custom made, courtesy of my very talented husband!

I had an absolute BLAST this afternoon with two very good friends of mine. They probably couldn’t have planned on timing things so perfectly, but fate had another idea. They found out they were both pregnant at about the same time with only a week or so between them! DREAM come true for these best of friends! They are expecting a boy and a girl between them, but don’t be fooled by their shirts As soon as they figured they would go through this pregnancy together, they immediately wanted to share their maternity session ! Both beautiful women with beautiful features! 

How sweet it is! The most amazing part of this family, is that they started it all. Their first born, barely two here, was my very first newborn! When did he turn 2! When did this adventure of mine changed from being counted by days and months into years! Their newest addition didn’t even wait for us to reschedule a maternity session! Bookings came up, scheduling conflicts happened and the only day I could *possibly* have photographed this happily patient mum, is the day he decided he’d had enough!

Let me tell you, there’s nothing worse than upgrading your computer a couple days before a session… Especially when you have SO many images you want to share and show off from such a fantastic day and family!! So I worked “overtime” finding the odds and ends that were preventing me from showing them their sneak peak!!!

Now, I’m being quite serious when I say that I had just the BEST time photographing this family! The two older ones were the same ages as mine and had SO many similarities, it was just like being around my own kids, except when they say “mommy!!!” I didn’t have to respond! lol The baby boy was just the smiliest little cuteness you’ve ever seen and was absolutely fine being in my arms while I got to know the kiddos before we officially started! ADORABLE! ALL of them!

I am NOT an event’s photographer. Really, I’ll leave Bar-Mitzvah’s, Weddings and parties to the more event specialised of us. That said, being invited to a ceremony for friends, a private one at that, which is frankly unheard of now, who could resist! I told them I would love to record this day in their family’s history if they’d let me. They jumped on the offer and I had so much fun photographing this church and their private ceremony. Guys, you know I love you! This is just the tip of the story.

Here it is! I promised this little guy he could see pictures of himself with dinosaurs before bed! Let me tell you, he’s a dinosaur “connaisseur”! He could whip out a dinosaur name in three seconds flat… now whether that name actually exists is up for debate, he did quote me some very unusual names, but what do I know about dinosaurs anyway

As promised Mister N, here are your dinosaur pics (And one for mommy too!)

I had the highest honor, and let’s face it, FUN photographing this family. I had the pleasure of befriending this awesome woman more than five years ago when we were both pregnant with our firstborns. Now with less then a couple of weeks’ waiting to go, I’m still overwhelmed by the blessing this is for their family and for all of us she calls friend & family. Love you Tara!
