Thank goodness for the sun because this was a cold one!

The countdown is on. This family is about to change. Their family of three will soon be a family of four and I have no doubt that this little guy will make an amazing big brother. 

I vaguely remember those single child days. Although they seemed hectic at times, they were nothing compared to the days with two (and I can't imagine how those with three or more do it). It gets crazy. Sanity becomes a thing of the past but the laughter and love that fills your house makes it so worth it.

2010's first Mommy and Me Session (the Mommy part)

I see this mom to be twice a month. She's my massage therapist... my saviour of sorts  : )

And this is one of three big sisters to be (yes, this is a lucky little baby - lots of great role models).

and what mother (pregnant or not) doesn't love a tub full of bubbles...

One more look back

This past year was a great one - lots of new faces to photograph, some familiar ones to see again and new friends made. Here's to all my 2009 clients. Thank you.

Waiting for Oliver

I have the best job! I get to do what I love most, meet and hang out with some of the nicest people.

My maternity shoot in Ilderton early this week was no exception. This patient (thank you for that - I'm a bit behind this week) mom-to-be was great to work with... willing to try anything while dodging some mammoth mosquitos. Hope you enjoy your 'sneak peek'. I can't wait to meet the little guy inside!





(we even got a few shots in with a camera shy older brother-to-be)









How perfect is that belly!

On the other side...

This was a first for me - photographing another photographer.

When a local photographer (check her out here - she's great) asked me to do a family shoot, I jumped at the chance. And what a gorgeous (growing) family. Not only were they up for anything, they were so much fun!

This is a fairly long post but believe me, I had a hard time choosing just seven to show...





Pregnant moms aren't the only ones who need a treat.



And this momma isn't just creative behind the camera, she also designed her own t-shirt...







I couldn't resist including this one...

Amazing what can happen in six short weeks...

This was back in March. And now...



This sweet baby girl was just 8 days old and did not want to miss a minute of her first photo shoot.





After hours of fighting it, she finally gave in.







And I always find it amazing how a sibling seems instantly older after the birth of a new baby. This little guy is going to be an amazing big brother. She's a lucky little girl.
