Baby Zoey

Here's a little teaser from our shoot with Teri, Bill, and Baby Zoey...

I really enjoyed assisting you again, Shealyn!

Welcome to the world, Jake!

I have had the privilege of following Melissa and Tony's family right from the very beginning....I was honored to be chosen to be their photographer for their wedding a couple of years ago, to photographing Melissa when she was pregnant with her first child, being there for Ava in her first days of life, and her first birthday. I was so happy when Melissa called to let me know she was expecting again. This time a boy!

Melissa looked amazing as always with that beautiful belly but it was even more special when I saw her daughter, Ava, put her little hand on her Mum's belly to feel her little brother's kicks.

Here is Jake at 5 days old. He has so much hair! I love his fuzzy face and I can't get over how alert he is too! He was so excited for his first photo shoot...He couldn't sleep!

Here are a couple of selects from our session.

Much love to your family, Melissa and Tony!

Thanks for your extra help, Shealyn!

Kayleigh has arrived!

On the morning of August 19, I got an email from Kristin saying, " I'm finally getting to my maternity photos and ordering some. I really love them all! It's so hard to choose!"

Later that day, I see that Camrin, her husband has updated his Facebook status with a baby photo at 6:00 that evening!

Kayleigh Christine was 7 pounds and 15.9 ounces. They just call her an even eight pounder!

Then the next day Cam posted, " I learned something yesterday.. When your driving your wife to the hospital with rapid severe contractions in rush hour traffic, DO NOT joke and say 'we need to stop and get some gas..." **Future fathers please take note!**

Kayleigh arrived very fast and the doctor had just enough time to get some gloves on and deliver that sweet bambini!

Apparently, the cure for getting your baby out is to order your maternity photos, not massage or spicy food!

Congrats to you on your newborn daughter, Kayleigh! Hope you are getting some sleep when you can and enjoying all the ladies in your life!

Lots of love to your family!

Thanks, Shealyn, for you help assisting!

Sweet Sophia

Steve and Sarah welcomed their sweet little girl into the world two and a half months early. She was born 2 pounds 11 ounces just before the clock struck midnight on April 14.

Sophia is an amazing child. She's such as little cutie...Her corrected age now is 2 weeks and she is 8 pounds and still gaining by the day. She's a cuddle bug and she likes to party and keep her Mum and Dad up with late night snacking.

I photographed Steve and Sarah's wedding over a year ago and it was an honor to be a part of one of the best days of their life. It was wonderful to see the two of them become a family. Steve's a lucky with guy with two pretty girls to take care of!

Lots of love to your new family!

Connor

I love this little guy! He's four months old and he already is Mr. Personality!

We had such a great time at our shoot I just had to post a sneak peak for you all to see. I have some photos of his parents too but this one just made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too!

My Little Friend Rowan

Rowan, my little friend from Ireland came over to visit his Grandma and Grandpa in Sidney. Oh, I forgot to mention that he brought his gorgeous Mummy, Helen along too.

This little guy was something else!
He is absolutely adorable and what a delight to photograph! It was funny, one minute he could be so serious- a little thinker. The next moment, he would smile and make these cute little looks at the camera. He enjoyed the warm sunshine at Beacon Hill park and was entranced by the ducks, the flowers, and looking out into the ocean. He could have laid down on that baby blue blanket in the sun all day with his Mum!

He took his first dip in the ocean on the Westcoast of Canada for his first time that day. It was really neat to see his priceless expression as the waves tumbled over his toes. Again, it was quite intellectual rather than scared or surprised!

Rowan and Helen, I know you've missed Daddy at home in Ireland but we hope you've enjoyed your Canadian adventure home. Looking forward to seeing you and your family on your next visit back to Canada! I'm certain Rowan will be a foot taller by then.

Oops, one more thing I forgot to mention; Happy Six Month Birthday, Rowan!

Elizabeth Jane

Suddenly, I am surrounded by babies everywhere! There is a small baby boom happening.

Paula and Kevin, who are not only my very good clients, but also very good friends of mine, had great news to share with me at the beginning of summer. Paula was pregnant. I was ecstatic when I found out that they were expecting and thrilled when their baby girl arrived. They named her Elizabeth Jane after Paula's favourite auntie.

She was 8lbs 14 oz and 22 inches long and she is destined to play beach volleyball.

She's a sweetie pie and was born with a full head of strawberry blonde hair. Her parents are first time grandparents and they couldn't be more happy about their new grandaughter. In fact, Paula's father had had a dream the night before about a red haired little girl.

Thank you again for showing off your new daughter to me.

Welcome to the world, Elizabeth Jane!

With love,

Nicole

Lovely Leilani

Oh my goodness, this has been a really special time waiting for my own first child to arrive but even more special because I have had my sister in law, Jennie-Lynne waiting for her first child to arrive too. We were due 6 days apart. I was hoping to go into labour at the same time. Oh well, that dream didn't happen!

Her Little Angel arrived on my due date September 13, 2008.

Leilani, is so perfect in every way. She has the sweetest disposition, lovely full pink lips, and the most perfect little hands. Seriously, her hands are like butter! It's almost like she arrived with a perfect manicure.

She is lovely at 22.5 inches and 9 pounds 6 ounces. I'm in love!

Congratulations, Jen and Andy on your beautiful daughter!
Welcome to the world, Leilani!
