From the moment Nicole contacted me I knew I was going to love this family.  So easygoing, flexible and fun, all ingredients for an enjoyable session!  And the cherry on top? Peyton’s amazing hair and the fact that she was constantly yawning, which just might be the cutest thing a baby can do.  She is clearly so loved by her big brother and parents.  Nicole and Chase made two under two look effortless (don’t worry guys, I know its hard work!) and made me feel so welcome and comfortable in their home.  I was honoured to capture these memories for them and hope that these photos will one day transport them back to that wild and beautiful time that they welcomed their baby girl.

Being a mom is a blessing.  We are gifted with these precious little lives that become so entwined with our own that it's hard to imagine life before them.  It is also sometimes a bit monotonous, not very glamorous and at times frustrating (I'm assuming I'm not alone in this!).  The thing I love about photography is that it is an exercise in observation and appreciation of what is right in front of you.  As a mom it causes me to stop and think about the little things that I want to capture and looking back on the photos I have of the past year of Levi's life I am so thankful to have captured the little nuances of who he was at each stage.

I had the opportunity to capture Lindsey and her daughter Beth one morning in their home.  It was so fun to document Beth and all the little things that make her who she is at this stage of her life. I look forward to watching this sweet girl grow!

I can't think of anything I enjoy photographing more than a brand new baby! So when little Olive joined this already adorable family I was beyond excited to document their first days as a family of four! Her big brother, River, was just the biggest bundle of energy and adorable-ness and her parents were so relaxed, natural and fun in front of the camera that they were an absolute breeze to photograph.  This little lady already has a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out, so those of you who don't keep up with tween slang); she did not want to miss a single thing the entire session, but her mom Alison managed to coax her to sleep at the very end so we could capture her peaceful little face and details.  I could probably rant all day about how much I loved this session, but I will let the newborn and family sweetness below speak for itself!  Enjoy :)

I have known the J family for many years (15 years to be exact!), and was super excited when they asked me to do some extended family photos for them while their entire family was in town.  We met at a beautiful park in Stouffville, and even though it was pouring rain on our way to the session the skies cleared just in time for us to start shooting! As you can see from the photos below there's a lot of love in this family and they were a joy to capture!
