Where to begin... | Toronto Maternity Photographer

When you're so ridiculously behind at blogging, it's hard to know where to start when you actually do start again! Life has been hectic (to say the least). Holiday season is nuts for photographers! I am finally getting around to breathing (and blogging) again. It's been fun though! I have thoroughly enjoyed the last couple of months of shooting and meeting so many wonderful families and babies! Unfortunately I wasn't able to offer Christmas/Holiday Mini Sessions this year due to the overwhelming demand I've had for regular sessions. A good problem to have ;) And it's a good thing I didn't offer minis this year because if you can believe it, my computer completely CRASHED smack in the middle of all the hustle and bustle these last few months!! Nightmare!! But luckily I use an offsite backup service that was able to recover almost all of my files. Phew! A while back when the weather was nice and warm, I shot the most wonderful maternity session! Melanie and her family were wonderful and so genuinely sweet! I think Melanie may be one of the most easy going people I've ever met. Melanie's little guy has since arrived (also a while ago) and I had the pleasure of shooting his newborn session - stay tuned for a future blog post (at the rate I'm going, it may be way into the future but I promise it will appear at some point).

These photos seriously make me miss the warm weather and my former life as a California girl. Sigh... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Toronto, but NOT the weather here. How nice would it be to be able to be outside without tense shoulders all year and still be able to take advantage of all that Toronto has to offer?! A girl can dream. Anyway, here are some of my faves from Melanie's maternity session.

Baby Brother has arrived! | Toronto Newborn Baby Photographer

Baby brother actually arrived quite a while ago, but as you can probably tell from my lack of posting, I've been on a blog hiatus. I figured since it's officially "back to school" time, it should also be "back to blogging" time. I haven't purposely been neglecting my blog...life and an extremely busy shooting schedule (both amazing things that I am incredibly thankful for) kind of get in the way sometimes! Anyway, this gorgeous family welcomed their newest family member not long after I shot Mom's maternity session! A third boy, lovingly nicknamed, "Baby Brother"!! What a lucky Mommy to be surrounded by so many boys!

Here are some of the photos I captured of this wonderful baby and his wonderful family!

To the beach! | Toronto Family Photographer

These little sweethearts (more twins!! I'm on a role!) were back and excited for their 3-year photo shoot...except they were slightly disappointed that I didn't bring along my daughter, who is their friend! I took T and Q's family photos a little less than a year ago and of course had a blast at both this shoot and the last! I've never met little girls with as much energy as these little Misses, so I figured the beach might be a fun place to get their energy out and sneak in some birthday and family photos! The girls had fun playing in the sand, riding on their scooters and taking photos with their Mommies. Here are a few of my faves! P.S. T and Q's Mommy, Ashleigh has a wonderful Mom blog that you should definitely check out!
