The growth of this family never fails to shock and excite me all at the same time. Every time I receive a message from Mom that they’re expecting another child, it makes my jaw drop, and also lights me up. With three under the age of four, this Mom is my hero! All her babies have strong similarities but also delicate differences. I’ve absolutely loved documenting each of them individually, and this time around as an entire family unit. What a task it was, but oh so enjoyable! I just love watching the older siblings hold and snuggle their tiny new sibling. Tracing their little fingers along the ..read more

What is it about this age that makes children so stinkin’ cute? In all my years as a newborn and baby photographer, and also as a parent, I still don’t know the answer to this question, but my goodness, six to twelve months, is an incredibly adorable phase! This beautiful baby was in a serious state of happiness during her complimentary sitter session. Actually, her Mom and Dad tell me that she’s like this all the time, just a small bundle of pure joy! How refreshing right!! She had no idea she was modelling for me, and she allowed that huge, bubbly personality to shine on through. Gosh, if I ..read more

There is magic in parenthood! It’s an unseen kind of magic, and one that is sometime’s only visible from the outside. It’s those moments when your children are climbing over you like you’re a human jungle gym, and when your laying beside your child at night, or rocking them back to sleep in the middle of the night. When your snuggled next to each other on the couch watching cartoons and their either talking your ear off or are all up in your face. Now that may not seem like any kind of magic to you, actually, that may sound more like an annoyance, but when your past these moments of young chil ..read more

I loved this session so much that once I started editing I just couldn’t stop! And for the first time ever, I have a peek and gallery ready for my client on the same day. Exciting stuff I tell ya! It’s not only those beautiful faces that kept me pushing through, it’s also this gorgeous evening light that we were dealt. Overcast skies offer up such a pretty light, and allow me to shoot in any direction imaginable. It seems that both times I’ve worked with this sweet family we’ve had the same beautiful evening light! Either we’re super lucky, or this is the way the universe tells me that we’re a ..read more

I’m giving fair warning that you may not be able to handle the dose of cuteness that your about to see from these adorable kiddos. The effort it took for me to stop commenting on baby boys beautiful blue eyes was nuts. I just couldn’t help myself though, you’ll see why…….oh and also, the fact that he stared me down every time I stepped in front of him, total perfection! Rather then me trying to tell you just how cute these two are, I’ll leave you with the imagery to do some of the talking….. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Heather ..read more

I have a serious soft spot for these two boys, and one that seems to become softer every time I see them. I didn’t know that was even possible, but after this session I’m certain that it is! You see, I’ve been photographing these two since they were about the size of a cantaloupe in their Mamma’s tummy. Yup, even before they were born! I’ve watched them grow from tiny little humans into these darling young boys and have documented their growth every single year. The collection of images that I have of them at this point is so incredible! I’ve looked back on them recently and can tell you one t ..read more

Neutral tones, textures, colour blocking, patterns, I could keep on listing the similarities but I think you’re already getting the hint…….It’s their home, it has the same elements present that I incorporate into my newborn photography. Talk about a match made in heaven!!!! Okay, so I didn’t clue into it that fast either. It wasn’t until I started putting together this blog that I started to see why they may have selected me as their photographer. These little details, we both have an appreciation for them! And let me tell you, shooting in a space that looks like this….you guys made it pretty ..read more

Isn’t it crazy that after 12 years in this business I still get nervous before a session. Not nervous in a way that I think, oh goodness, am I capable of doing this, but more in a way that’s directed at my personality. Such as, will they be comfortable around me, will they open up and interact in front of me as they would old friends? Will the kids enjoy my humour? Honestly, questions that I couldn’t possibly ever know the answer to, unless I put myself out there and simply be me. So that’s what I do. I give my head a good shake, sometimes it takes a mental kick in the arse, and I jump in with ..read more

Not only is this season a vibrant one, but so is this family! Vibrant in spirit and personality, they are! We always have so much fun when we work together! Well, I do at least, I shouldn’t speak for them! But, by the looks on their faces, I’d say they had a pretty great time as well. They have a certain comfort level with me which allows me a peek into the bond that they share. They show me raw, uninhibited emotion. Sure, that may sound like an easy thing to do, however, it’s really not when you have a camera all up in your face. It makes me so happy, to know that I can allow someone to feel ..read more

Capturing families in a candid manner is something I strive for during every family session. This family made that element super fun for me as they interacted with each other in the sweetest of ways! Giggling over baby boy’s facial expressions, picking up vibrant leaves, and simply snuggling together in the overgrown areas of the field. I could literally have photographed them for days on end, and while I may have overshot this playful family, it’s resulting in the sweetest of gallery’s and one that brings a permanent smile to my face. Gosh, I don’t even know how to express just how much I enj ..read more
