Egg Hunts & Pink Shirts {Easter 2012} – Guelph Children and Baby Photographer
Our Easter was exhausting. As in, our toddler consumed close to her weight in chocolate and we spent most of the day dealing with the consequences of that. When the kids woke up, they found the goodies left by the Bunny. And so started the indulging. My Mom made us a fantastic lunch which was followed by the annual Easter egg hunt. Then Mattea snuck more chocolate and we sat around and watched her bounce off the walls. Dash was the opposite and took a big 3 hour nap after lunch. A couple days before I found that pink t-shirt on clearance at Baby GAP. I asked the nice salesgirl if I would be a bad mom for dressing my son in pink, but we decided together that he could totally pull it off.
As crazy and exhausting as the day was, it was nice to just sit around and enjoy my my time with loved ones and my kids…chocolate high and all.

Half A Year – Guelph Baby Photographer
Dash is 6 months old today.
What the heck?! I can’t believe it. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 6 months since he’s joined our family.
5 Facts about Dash:
- He’s big. I’d guess 17 lbs+. To put in in perspective, Mattea weighed 18 lbs at ONE YEAR. He’s got a long torso and short legs, just like is sister too. He’s currently in 12 month sleepers and 12-18 month shirts.
- He’s a cuddler. He’s happiest when being held. Am I turning him into a Momma’s Boy? …….. ?
- He’s a sensitive guy. Loud noises upset him like none other.
- He’s a bit of a firecracker. He’s the easiest going baby, EXCEPT, when he’s hungry or tired. I’ve never heard a set of lungs on a baby until I had Dash angry about not getting fed. Wowszers, can that boy scream.
- He loves Mattea. Like REALLY loves her. I often catch him smiling and making googly eyes at her. She’s the coolest person in his life.
Happy Half-A-Year Birthday to our baby Dashie!

MATTEA – you would play dress up all day, everyday if we let you. You have been wearing that white bridal dress the most. Not sure if that’s a hint of what’s to come when you’re grown up? *tear* Those pink shoes have you falling flat on your face all the time but you don’t care. You have a big cry and then wail for me to put them back on your feet.
Also gotta give a shout out to Jake. Real men play dress up with their daughters.
DASH – I remember liking the lighting in our bedroom that morning so I plopped you down onto the covers and clicked away. Thanks for being my model while I tried out back button focusing for the first time. I appreciate it little man!

MATTEA – I appreciated you staying still for 0.002 seconds so I could get some photos of your super cute outfit. Sweater by Old Navy, Blouse by H&M, Pants and Boots from Joe Fresh.
DASH – 4 months old – You still like the jumperoo, even after it’s been here for many weeks. This is wonderful because it means my arms get a break for 20 minutes several times throughout the day.

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!
