I’m playing catchup, big time. I photographed this lovely family back in February. Baby C was 18 days old so we stuck to lifestyle shots, and attempted some posed newborn shots (He wasn’t having it by the way). His big sister was full of energy, and stopped just long enough for me to snap some family and sibling shots.
I think it’s time to dust off our good ‘ol blog and let everyone know what we’ve been up to & the plans for the rest of 2011.
We had a great summer. A ridiculously hot and humid summer, but a really good one. Our highlight was spending a couple days in Collingwood and touring Blue Mountain and beaching it at Wasaga.
The biggest reason why the blog was neglected? This little guy:
Yep, we’re adding another little dictator to the mix. It’s a boy, whose name is a secret until he arrives. My due date is October 11th. As I write this I’m sitting at 38 weeks pregnant and I was last told by my doctor that she might induce me in 2 days. WOOT WOOT! So yeah, I’m kinda late with the announcement but on the bright side it means you get to find out his name AND see pics really soon. Also stay tuned for his official newborn photos, which I have been planning since the second line came up on the test. Jake cut me off from Etsy a couple months ago so I can’t wait to debut the new props and hats I’ve been saving for our little guy.
With the usual discomforts associated with pregnancy and the humid temperatures, Bodh Photography took it easy this summer. However, we shot a wedding and an extended family session since you last heard from us. I will blog more about them this fall during my maternity leave, but here’s a little peek:
I am now officially on maternity leave until the new year. We will still be answering emails but please allow a couple days for a reply as newborns tend to be really time consuming creatures. I will start taking on sessions for January 2012 and beyond. Newborns can be booked anytime as we shoot indoors, and family sessions will resume for May 2012 once spring arrives.
For the rest of the fall we will be renovating our studio to install flooring, updating our website and creating some new packages and pricing. Expect a lot of baby related posts as my life will be revolving around a newborn and 21 month old.
Sandra is one of Jake’s oldest and most favourite clients. I met her and her family for the first time the evening of their session, and I immediately understood why Jake has spoken so highly of them for all these years. They are friendly, warm and inviting people, not to mention super good looking as you can see below. Their session was more unique in that it was shot entirely on their own property. Sandra and her husband Robert run Botany Bay Estate Perennials which made for a colourful and lush backdrop. The lighting was perfect, and we absolutely love how their session turned out!
Kara and I connected back in the summer and after rescheduling a couple times and then being rained out, we were able to have the session last Friday. We picked a great time of year as the fall colours were perfect! Not only are they such a gorgeous family (see below!), they’re incredibly friendly and laidback. With two little boys we tried to make the session as fun as possible and kept things moving. Kara and Adam had a great idea of bringing their iPod and speakers along for distraction. The little guy, C, loves music and I caught him bouncing to the beat a couple times. Older brother, H, did so well the entire session. However, I knew it was time for he photography to be over when at the end of the session near the fountain I casually asked H for a smile and got, “Umm, NO”. Point taken 
Seriously. Gorgeous.Family.
H has got some killer blues! That’s all him, no photoshopping there
Doesn’t this photo just make you want to take little C home?? So adorable!
Kara and Adam, it was so nice to finally meet you and your boys! I had such a great time photographing your family. I hope you love your photos, and your disc will be ready soon.
Emma and Dwayne were the recipients of a portfolio-building family session. They, along with their twin 5 month old boys, made things very easy for us! All the amazing locations are on their very own 400 acre farm. After some pictures of the whole family, the boys fell asleep so we got to shoot some of just the two of them. They are such a cute couple! Emma and Dwayne, we hope you like your sneak peek, and we had a blast working with you!
