This little one is super super special to me…….well, mom is special to me so I guess that makes baby D special to me too. Anyhow, this was a couple of months ago:

And today, baby D is 5 days old! Here she is:

Haha! “No take that big thing away from my face!” she says! But then after she warmed up…

Isn’t she so cute??? Here is one with mom:

with mom and dad:

And finally, here is one for all of you who have yet to see baby D’s beautiful eyes:

I know mom is anxious to see these, and believe it or not, the photos are ready! I just haven’t had a chance to call you, so bear with me! But here is a sneak peek. I especially LOVE the one of baby A and mom..

I also want to say how much you guys mean to me - thank you for choosing me - it is an honour to be able to photograph your second baby boy.

This precious bundle was 16 days old when she arrived for her photo shoot, but slept and cooperated like a 5 day old. I was prepared for a marathon session. But amazingly enough, the whole portrait session for baby M was wrapped up in under 2 hours! I dare say baby M rather enjoyed her photo session and the warm, fuzzy blankets and heaters! There are so many photographs that I love from this session that it was hard to choose just a few for this preview. I can’t wait to show you the rest!

Without further ado, I would like to introduce baby D!  Baby D is especially dear to me, but I cannot go into the reasons at this moment as I promised mom I would have these previews posted yesterday! So here I am, Easter Sunday, rushing to get this posted. Hope you like ‘em J!

Call it spring break madness. I always knew Nathan is an energetic boy, but I was still ill-prepared. Entertaining him 24/7 was no small feat! Your photos, T, are all ready. But here is a preview so that when you come to my blog now you will see your darling baby girl!

And of course, we cannot forget her brother, whom I also photographed when he was a mere 9 days old (if my memory serves me right! I remember he was around 9 days but 10 pounds!!):

I photographed L&L (yup they’re twins!) when they were newborn babies, and look at them now! I know mom has been quite anxious to see the sneak peek and I am so sorry for the delay! The rest will be ready shortly! Without further ado, here are 4 of my faves.

Especially when they’re little boys! I just love little boys. Well I have to, since I’ve got two of ‘em! This little guy, A, was a blast to work with. So polite, gentle, sweet-natured, fun, and of course, cuuuute! You can just tell how much mom and dad adores him. I know mom and dad are anxious to see these previews. Hope you like ‘em! These are some of my favourites!

2009 is upon us, believe it or not. One of the phrases that I hear most often is “time goes by so quickly.” As cliched as it may sound, it is true. There are many times when I wish that time would slow down just a little bit. Instead, often, weeks clip along at a steady pace - Mondays turn into Fridays seemingly instantaneously sometimes. So yes, 2009 is indeed here, and one of my goals for the year is to enjoy as many moments as I possibly can. As simple as that.

I will be taking on less clients, which means that I will be able to offer existing clients, and those new clients whom I do take on, more. To that end, I am pleased to announce that on-location sessions and natural light sessions will now be available as part of my regular session offerings. As much as I enjoy on-location sessions, I was unable to offer them before due to a lack of time, despite numerous requests by my existing clients. But by taking on less commissions in 2009, I will be able to offer these sessions. A new website is also in the works, which will showcase my natural light/on-location portfolio.

I also have a couple of photography workshops in the works - dates have not been finalized but I know there are a few of you waiting to be notified. These are my “moms and dads camera workshops” that are geared towards those who would like to learn how to use their digital SLRs (to fully take advantage of their capabilities) and would like to take better photographs of their families. I will be finalizing the dates within the next few weeks to stay tuned.   

There will be a few other (good) surprises here and there. But in the meantime, I hope you all have had a good holiday season and that you all will have a great 2009.

The eyes can speak volumes.

What an expression. A bit breathtaking if you ask me. So intense! And then there’s this:

One of my favorite father and sons photographs this year:

And then there is mom:

Congratulations once again!

This sneak preview is not titled this way because I couldn’t remember the baby’s name…it is thus titled because mom and dad had not yet decided on his name when this little newborn came to me to have his portraits made. Both are great names and I don’t think mom and dad can go wrong with either. But I digress.

I know mom is anxious to see her new bundle of joy’s photographs. I am perpetually behind (it’s an artist thing, really!! lol). But I am almost there! Here are a few of my session faves:

With big brother:

and finally:

Mr. Cutie Pie!
