Vancouver Baby Photographer - All grown up

It's hard to believe it's been a year already! Miss T. was full of smiles as a newborn, but was a bit more shy this time around :-) I love how curious babies are at this age! She'd walk over (yes walk!) to see what I was doing and was very interested in the camera, the reflector, the extra lenses. I think she might be planning her future studio already ;-)

It was such a wonderful session and getting a chance to catch up with mom and dad was lovely. The best part for me, though, was at the very end of the session when she just came up to me and gave me a super long hug. It totally caught me off guard and made me tear up! What a sweetheart :-)

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Tiny Princess

I'm so excited I get to watch as this sweet baby girl grows and changes over the next year. She's one of my "Watch Me Grow" babies and I couldn't be more thrilled.

She was super tiny and all of my props looked so huge on her, but she was oh so cute! I thought it was so adorable how she was perfectly happy to try some of the more complicated poses, but as soon as I'd try something simple, she'd wiggle until I'd give up :-) That's what I love about photographing newborns; even at just a few days old, I get a glimpse into their personalities. So often when they come back for their 6 month or 1 year portraits, their little personalities shine through. I love it!

Vancouver Newborn Twin Photography - Seeing Double

I was so excited to meet these sweet baby girls!

I can't believe it's been two years since the last time I got to work with twins and I forgot what an amazing experience it is. See, it's not just about showcasing their individuality. The thrill comes in capturing their special bond.

Preparing for their session, I was overwhelmed with ideas. I was sad that I would be able to realize only a handful of them. Even with the 3-4 hours I set aside for newborn sessions, getting two babies settled and happy at the same time takes time. I got lucky though, as these two ladies were very happy to sleep through pretty much anything.

Lazy Blogger Alert!

Well, not so much lazy as my kids were on summer break and I had to navigate my work schedule around them :-) Blogging ended up on the bottom of a very long list, but I'm happy to report that school is back in session and I will actually be able to complete some very important tasks! My youngest started Kindergarten this year (yikes!) so there will be a few more days of a very gradual entry, but starting next week both of them will be in school full time and I will have no more excuses ;-). I will be missing summer, though.

Without further ado, here is sweet Miss A. who I had the pleasure of photographing all the way back in June and her parents who I met at the end of May! Yes, I am that far behind :-(.
