Happy Holidays

Seriously hard to believe that 2011 is almost here! I’d like to take the time to send a big thank you to all my repeat clients I had the honour of seeing in the studio again. Your support means a lot! I also want to thank all my new clients I had the privilege of meeting and photographing this year. I look forward to watching your family grow and seeing you again. Thank you for choosing me to capture your precious memories. Also one last thank you to everyone for adapting to my maternity leave schedule so I could be home with my new baby boy! Well, not so new at almost 9 months old. Congratulations to all the 2010 babies and their parents.

I wish you all a very wonderful holiday season with your loved ones. Wishing you love, health and happiness in 2011! I look forward to photographing the first of my 2011 babies in the new year. All the best with your deliveries!

Stay tuned to your email as the winner of the Grand Prize draw (valued at $1100) for a studio session & 1 20″ Heirloom Portrait (gallery wrapped canvas) will be notified later today! The draw will take place tonight by random selection using random.org.

Until next time,

Watching Them Grow | Toronto, Mississauga Family Photography

One of my favourite things about what I do is seeing the babies I photograph grow up. Many of ‘my babies’ grow up to be big brothers or sisters. P first came to me when she was still inside mommy’s belly and about 10 days or so after she was born. That was over 2 1/2 years ago. Now P is a big sister to her baby brother Q, who is 9 months old.

It was really great to see this family again and to see P as a little girl, she was darling. Have to say that the toddler years (age 1-3) are usually the most challenging for photographers. Simply, they have a mind of their own and are mobile so naturally they want to explore. However, P was such a willing subject. I think she was just happy to be photographed with her baby brother, what love she has for him. Here she is at about 10 days old and again at 2 1/2 years old. Meet Baby Q her little brother, adorable right?!

Until next time,
