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!

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
