Revisiting a client's home for a second shoot is always great fun. It was this family's first shoot with me but I had been there before when I painted a mural in their son's nursery a while back! I remember seeing their son as a tiny newborn and now their baby girl just turned one year old. Of course some shots in front of the mural was a must! After that we celebrated her upcoming birthday with a cake smash. She really enjoyed that part, but not as much as she enjoyed splashing around in her little tub while getting clean :) So sweet. Here's a peek at this three part gallery.
The making of an images by dee session - toronto baby photographer
Being a mom is fun and rewarding but it definitely takes a lot out of me. I can only take on a few sessions per month. I thought about doing more sessions, but in fact I am content with how it is, as I can really put a lot of energy and effort into each one. Every session is completely customized and thought out from beginning to end. I pick out the perfect matching props and wardrobe (or help the babies' parents with decisions) so that all the photos not only look great on their own but as a whole as well.
For this particular shoot, mom and dad gave me freedom to completely stylize the session on my own, which was great fun. Once I envision the shoot in my head, I'm excited for the result and tend to get crafty putting it all together. Here's a look at the "making of".
Using an old t-shirt and some yellow wool, I made a headband for a special little girl turning ONE very soon :)
Picked out a cute romper at Baby Gap! (Moms, if you're looking for an outfit for your one year old's shoot, I really like their catalog; simple and timeless).
And of course some bunting :)
With the help of my mom, I made this cute ombre cake for smashing!
Here she is! Sweet Ophelia, making me work hard for these shots by running away!
Baby Sierra, 6 days old - Richmond Hill Newborn Photographer
Sweet Sierra's momma was anxiously awaiting her arrival...and so was I! I received news that she was born via instagram and she looked so cute and small in the picture her mom posted. I met her just 6 days later to do this session. She was wide awake and curious for most of our time together.
Here she is!...
Little 8 month old Joey - images by dee - baby photographer
This guy steals my heart! What a sweetie. I met him when he was just a few days old and now he's sitting up so happy!
When babies are sitting up well and not yet crawling, it is the perfect time to have a photo shoot done. Before you know it, they'll be running away from you trying to explore!
