I was so excited to jump back into the images of the the Stephaniuk household.
My morning with  little Rudy and his big sister Lucie was so incredibly sweet. 
Lucie has been waiting 11 years to become a big sister,
I couldn’t get over how attentive she was to him,
never leaving the room without kissing the top of his sweet head <3
I was reminded again of how lovely and warm their home was.
Something I love the most  was the walls, filled with photographs of some of their most precious moments together as a family of three
and now they have these, first moments of them as a family of four. 

Here are just a few of my favourite images of my time with them. 

It was about half way through this session that I smiled quietly to myself
 I watched Rob and Megan take in their newest baby upstairs and downstairs and we listened to the older siblings happily play with their littlest sister.
They had just finished a big Saturday morning pancake breakfast when I came in, the house was bustling with activity.
How wonderful. 
Little Oscar has been born into a big family, surrounded by all his brothers and sisters. 
They are Blended, Beautiful and full of life, Big & Small.
I was happy to be with them, happy to document them and each image has me smiling from ear to ear.
I know they will have you smiling too.

Welcome to this world Oscar! 

You are one lucky little man!

I arrived at the Hachey Family home to meet Nyah and her big sister Harper.
The session was wonderful.
It had all the elements that an amazing and cozy ‘at home’ newborn session should.
A sweet baby, lots of cuddles, newborn squeaks, breaks for snacks
(both for baby and big sister) and a whole lot of love.
Ashley had one special request for me.
You see the girls have a brother, Johnny, who left this world much, much to soon.
She explained to me that Harper, the first child, is the ‘Sunshine’ baby.
Johnny is their ‘Angel’ baby
and little Nyah…is the ‘Rainbow’ Baby.

The flowers surrounding the girls represent each sweet babe,
with their brother gently nestled in between them.
I am honoured to be able to share this moment of remembrance with them 

The Family believes that Nyah was ‘hand picked’ by Johnny for them.
I think so too.
What an incredible gift.

We ended our sweet session with a few cute portraits of Harper
and a snuggly moment with Ashley and her girls in a very special chair. 

This chair belong to her grandfather, a heirloom that he sat on in his office her whole life. 
How wonderful for all these angels in their lives to be able to look down on this amazing family
and see all the ways they continue to remember them in their daily life. 

Welcome to this world Nyah ❤

This is Nathan. 
He lives with his big brother Bennett, his two Mamas and a puppy who all love him very much. 
I came to meet him just after Christmas. 
The last time I saw this family, Bennett was just wee in his mamas arms
and now, both of their arms are delightfully full with these two beautiful boys. 

I loved our slow morning of snuggles, superhero and cookie snacks. 

Here are just a few of my faves <3 

Sweet Amila Marie 

14 Days New 

Milk Bath Session 

Are  you ready for the sweetest baby with the most adorable cheeks you are ever seen in your life!?!? 
Oh Evelyn! I could squeeze you for days….. 
I was invited into the Little household one more time before the end of the year, to document not just three of them…
But now Four. 
Last time I was in these rooms, they were preparing for her arrival
and I followed a very pregnant Jess all the way to the hospital.
Evelyn was born breach, and by C Section and weighed 10 pounds and 15 ounces of sweet baby goodness!
This time, they were settling in just perfectly with their new little cherub
and I snuck in to capture them loved up with her in these precious moments. 

I almost posted every frame I took because I loved them ALL…

But narrowed it down to just a ‘few’ favourites….

Here is Evelyn & Jocelyn to brighten your Day! 

Im sure you can imagine the excitement the day Axel was born. 
Not knowing what was growing and kicking inside her belly, 
with two sweet girls at home already, 
I think they all just assumed possibly they would be blessed again with another beautiful girl. 
but….Surprise!
The moment Axel was born is one I’ll never forget. 
The room was bursting with tears and excitement as the Crisp Familys’ first boy was brought earth side. 
Since then, he has been surrounded and delightfully smothered by love, and rightfully so.
I feel very fortunate to have been there surrounded by all the excitement 
and then home a few weeks later to see him settling in just perfectly. 

Welcome sweet boy. 
You are as handsome as they come
and one of the luckiest little boys I know. 

Here are a few favourites of my time with the Crisp Family, 
now a family of five.

I have been lucky enough to be welcomed into the lives of
Brittany and Ian through the brith of their first son, ‘wee’ Winter Wolfe. 

The last time I had seen this new family was in the Hospital
and so I was looking forward to seeing how they were fitting into their new roles as
‘mom’ and ‘dad’ 
As I suspected, it was effortless and wonderful. 
The love that is within in these walls is bursting. 
You can feel it the minute you walk in and are greeted by sweet Duke at the door. 
You kinda dont want to leave ? 
I look forward to watching Winter grow through the lens of my camera, both at home and on the sea. 
Just the thought brings a smile to my face and warms my heart. 

What a wonderful beginning for a beautiful boy. 

When shooting, editing and blogging this adorable newborn session,
Im fairly certain that a smile never left my face.
This family is as sweet and funny as they are adorable,
and if I didn’t have to go home to my own kids,
I could have just as happily moved myself in for the week
to share in the laugher, toddler conversations and baby snuggles.

Little Rosie is about the sweetest thing you ever did see.
Her easy going nature and big bright eyes fit right in here.

I was so happy and honoured to come over to celebrate her arrival.

So incredibly hard to choose favourites…
So prepare for an over share ?

When I walk into a home of a family that has just had a new baby,
the story I try and capture is about, not only that baby,
but everyone in the household.
Their story and how they are connected,
is just as important to me.
And that wee Baby is in the very centre of a wonderful story.

This is especially true in homes where there is an older sibling.

Parker has just become a big brother.
His world is all dinosaurs and Thomas the Train,
and now…little Nash is there too.

The sudden bursts of interaction, the little bits of frustration,
the juggle, the boundaries…
the Love.
All a part of it.
Those are the things I love to see.
They dont last long, soon the boys will be playing trains together,
so its this fleeting moment in time we like to hang onto.

This is the Anderson Family.
Now a Beautiful Family of Four,
and Welcoming a sweet little baby boy, called Nash.

Here are a few favourites of my time with them…..

Sweet Darling Siena is here.
Perfectly Planned and loved,
her beautiful story started in Southern France.
When Ken and Megan arrived home
from their vacation to find out they were indeed pregnant,
they were thrilled.
I had the pleasure of photographing them while Megan was expecting,
and so I was looking forward to meeting this sweet little girl once she had settled in at home.

Celebrating and Welcoming sweet babies into the world
is what brings me the most joy.
I love walking into the home that has heard her first cry,
will see her first steps, and the door she will be heading out to kindergarten from.
Sweet, sweet Nora has been blessed with the most wonderful beginning.
I am so happy and honoured that I was able to photograph a glimpse into that.

Ever so hard to even begin to pick favourites from this session,
I had to try…

These were the ones that made my heart swell.

Welcome to the world Darling Nora
