Holiday and Christmas Mini Sessions for 2016!! | Toronto family and baby photographer

Time to get excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This year's Holiday/Christmas mini sessions are sure to be AH-MAZING!! This year there will be two setups - one on a darker backdrop with mostly white decor and twinkle lights, and the other with a couch and a more simple, "airy" backdrop. Both setups will be able to accommodate families. I'm really excited about these setups and know that you'll love them as much as I do!!

Mini sessions will be scheduled on the last two weekends in November. Similar to last year, there are two options -

1) Family Mini Sessions for $195 +hst = $220.35. These mini sessions are for immediate families of up to 6 people and include parents!

2) Children Only Mini Sessions for $170 +hst = $192.10. These mini sessions are for up to 4 children in the same immediate family and do not include adults.

Both options include 5 digital images of your choice, out of a gallery of approximately 8 photos, with the option to purchase all 8 images for an additional charge (after you see the gallery of course).

You can book your 20 minute time slot by clicking HERE!!

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezie (as my children would say), but as always, if you have any questions or issues with booking your time slot, please do not hesitate to let me know!  This system is new to me too, so there may be a couple of hiccups along the way!

Once you have booked your time slot and accepted my Terms & Conditions (which you will see when you are booking), please send an e-transfer for the full amount, plus hst to laurenlawrencephotography@gmail.comYour time slot is not confirmed until your e-transfer has been received!

I can't wait to see all of your smiling faces!!!

Holiday Christmas Mini Session Toronto Family Baby Photographer

Catching up on lost times | Toronto Newborn and Family Photographer

Well, here I am! After over a year of blog slacking and not posting any of the wonderful sessions I shot, I am attempting to catch up! Let's start with this cutie - he was such an adorable little guy...who is now over a year old and I can't even begin to imagine how much he has changed!

Next up is this sweet family! I had so much fun with them, even though there was quite the chill in the air that day (I can't believe I remember that and it's been over a year since I shot this session)!

Next up is this cute teddy bear! Don't you want to hug him? Love those cheeks!!!!

5 - Toronto Family Photographer 1

This little girl, whose newborn photos I did a year before this shoot! I also got to see her at my 2015 Christmas/Holiday Mini sessions! She has grown so much and is still as sweet as ever! One of my (many) favourite things about my job is seeing how much babies grow and change!

Recognize this little guy? He's the same "football" from above! It's crazy how much a baby can change in only a few months! If you can't tell, his parents are huge sports fans! GO LEAFS GO!

This family was tons of fun as well! Daddy earns major bonus points for getting his wife a family photo shoot for Mother's Day (I hope my husband is reading this...)!!

Aaaaaaaand we're back...

This little one was beyond adorable! She was such a gorgeous baby and her parents were so sweet and loving to both her and each other. It makes me smile to see such a happy family!

And last, but certainly not least, the adorable baby pictured above's Auntie, who is also my very close friend, Ashleigh and her perfect family! They are expecting their third baby - a boy this time, in a few short weeks!! I'm so excited to photograph him when he makes his big debut!

2015 Holiday Christmas Mini Sessions

 

Time Warp Back to Sweet Ella

Let's travel back to last Fall and the beautiful Fall colours that surrounded us! Ah, how pretty. Add a perfect little baby and her beautiful family to the mix and you've got yourself a beautiful set up for a photo shoot! This gorgeous family's photo shoot started off in my studio and ended in the beautiful outdoors! How cute is baby Ella???

Here are some of my faves from the shoot, and let me tell you - it was very hard to narrow it down!!

Adorable Arya | Toronto Lifestyle Newborn Baby Photographer

Arya may not be as little as she was in these photos (this photo shoot was a while ago, as I'm still getting caught up on blogging), but there's no doubt in my mind that she is still a cute little baby! Shortly after doing Arya's Mommy's maternity session, Arya entered the world and I visited her and her beautiful family at their lovely home! Here are some of my favourites from this lifestyle newborn session. I have to say that I'm really, really loving lifestyle photography! A family in their natural environment doing natural things - you simply can't top that! These are the types of photos that families will cherish for years to come!

Thank Heaven for Little Girls!

My family is filled with girls - I have three younger sisters and two daughters, so naturally, when this family walked into my studio with their three beautiful little girls, I was in heaven! Baby Natalia was showered with affection from both her parents and her two older and adoring sisters. What a lucky little girl this baby is to be surrounded by so much love! Here are some of my favorite shots from baby Natalia's Newborn shoot - she was such a little doll!

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!

It's a bird...It's a plane...It's...

SUPER BABY!!! Toronto Newborn Photographer 7

This cutie patootie flew into my studio (no, just kidding...he didn't fly...but that would be cool, wouldn't it?) all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, intent on proving to me that he would NOT fall asleep! But Superbaby, like most other babies (knock on wood...I'm very superstitious), finally caved into taking a trip to dreamland and I was able to capture some amazing shots of him!

Check out adorable baby Noah! Isn't he SO cute? Noah's parents are HUGE sports fans...can you tell from the pics?!? ;)

It's twin season! | Toronto Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

A while back I ran a promo on newborn lifestyle sessions to build my portfolio. One of the lovely families that responded to my promo, was blessed with adorable (as in, too adorable for words) twins - a little boy and a little girl! Even their names, Leo and Olive, were too cute to handle! This was my first newborn twin shoot and to say that I was excited, is an extreme understatement! This family welcomed me into their home and I captured some wonderful shots of the babies, their big brother and the family! I seriously could have stayed there and photographed these babies all day, but I'm pretty sure the family would have kicked me out eventually ;)

I still have one spot available for a newborn lifestyle session if anyone out there is interested! Check out the details by clicking on the link above!

Two times the fun...make that three! | Toronto Maternity and Family Photographer

We've all heard people say that twins are double the trouble and double the fun! Although there may be some trouble (or "sibling love" as I like to think of it), it seems to me that twins are more fun than any amount of trouble! That must be why this family decided to go for baby #3 - triple the fun ;) This family was super duper friendly and a joy to photograph! The boys were definitely ready to welcome "baby brother" into the world at their Mommy's maternity session!

I haven't posted a blog entry in a while because I was waiting for this wonderful new Blogsite here to be completed. Now that it's complete, I have some blogging to get caught up on! And since this maternity session post is ever so slightly overdue, "baby brother" has now been born and I was thrilled to shoot his newborn session yesterday! Here's a sneak peak of "baby brother's" newborn session. Mom and Dad are overjoyed and taking their time to decide on the perfect name for their newest addition. I imagine it would be quite overwhelming with three little boys to look after!
