Colten {Newborn}

What a blessing to meet sweet little Colten James, the first son of Kurt & Staci.  Staci and I worked very hard to keep him asleep, in the toasty room we created for the photo shoot!  What a handsome boy!

Newborn twins: K+L } Ottawa newborn photographer

I met P about five years ago as her friend's wedding photographer for a winter wedding at Strathmere in Ottawa. What a treat when she contacted me delighted by the safe delivery of her twin baby boys! At 38 weeks, these lovely little babes weighed just over 5 pounds. These little ones were just barely a week old and you could already see their different personalities coming through. One little guy is laid back, while the other is intense and serious...it took over 3 hours to finally have both these little ones fall into sync to get this lovely shot of these two twin brothers.

As a portrait and wedding photographer, I find the full breadth of photography to be fascinating. Weddings celebrate love and union; families celebrate their growing lives together and, as is appropriate for this time of year...newborn photography is truly the celebration of miracles. Looking at these sweet little boys, it is incredible how perfect they are.

I couldn't think of a finer note to end my 2009 photography season on...Congratulations to P&M on the safe arrival of these beautiful boys.

Newborn Baby, Collage

I have been working on the pictures from my first newborn photo shoot for a while now.  Some of my favorites are here. (I added a few more to that post today)

Some other neat things that I did with the pictures…

Thanks to my fellow photographer friend Jodi for sharing the template for the last one with me.  The first 2 templates are from Coffee Tea Photography.  Lots of great free stuff on that site!

Rory & Morgan’s Family: NEWBORN!

When Morgan e-mailed asking me to come and do newborn pictures of her soon to be born son, well… I was a lot little nervous.  I was still a lot little nervous tonight as I finally pulled the shots I had up on my computer and got ready to play with them.  I was really concerned that I wasn’t going to have any good shots.  We used natural light from their windows for the inside shots.  I am pleased with how well they are turning out.  I will have a few more to add to this eventually, but I was excited so I wanted to share on here!

Daddy's little girl- Ottawa Newborn Photographer

Little K at 2 tender weeks with her adoring daddy- how sweet! I met T and P when I was photographing a wedding about 5 years ago at Strathmere. I was so hoping that T would feel brave enough for a maternity portrait, but alas, little K arrived and we ran out of time. Welcome little one!
