Baby’s First Year

We first met Declan when he was only a few days old at his newborn session and his Mom signed him for to capture her baby’s first year with our Baby Plan.

This round Declan was full of sweet smiles as he watched his crazy photographer make funny noises to capture his attention.

He was sitting up somewhat steady (with Mom super close to help him if he lost his balance). It was a bit chilly but we were done within a very short time period because he was such a happy baby!

My favourite image is him in his little lion costume, he was all set for Hallowe’en!

Saint John Photographer Triple girls sleeping

Triplets

It isn’t very often when you receive a message asking if you would be interested in helping another photographer with a session and even rarer to hear it will be for triplets! Miranda O’Leary messaged and asked if I was interested and was I EVER! We spent time coordinating and planning the session, knowing they would be older and have a few health challenges. We knew that three little babies meant there were no guarantees and our goal was ONE picture for Mom and Dad. Between Miranda, myself, Miranda’s sister, Mom and Dad and great aunt and grandma…yes it took a crew…but we worked HARD and between the two of us were able to give them a full session. This was by far the most challenging session to date.

Miranda and I had to pull out every trick in our books. We worked as a team and both shot these amazing little babies.  The craziest part? Two photographer shooting the SAME set ups (because we realized very quickly that changing them around was NOT going to be possible, they were very alert, very touchy and very easily disturbed), with the SAME props…NOT the same pictures. They were completely different looking due to camera’s, lighting, lenses, editing…it was a great learning experience for the both of us and we enjoyed working together so much!

Working with triplets was on my bucket list for photography and although it was the most challenging session to date it was also one of the most gratifying of my career.

Tiny Little Man | 9 Days New

This tiny little man arrived about a month before his due date and we had the chance to meet him when he was 9 days new! Still teeny tiny and so sweet, he travelled almost 2 hours from Grand Manan and was a little rock star!

Some babies make us work hard for every pose and some like him are easy-going and quite happy to have a nice little snooze in the nice warm studio. We were able to capture a variety of set ups while he had his little nap. He had tiny little features and these long long fingers just like his mother!

It was so nice to work with his lovely Mama again, we had met her a month prior for her maternity session. This time his big brother joined him too! It was such a pleasure meeting their entire family and having the opportunity to capture their new tiny little man!

Saint John photography brother with little sister

6 Day old baby girl | Little sister

This sweet 6 day old baby girl arrived with her older brother for her first photo session. He was so proud of his new baby sister! When I asked if I could take her home with me is had a few giggles over that crazy idea!

We kept this session nice and neutral with a few small feminine touches of pink. She was a dainty little girl with tiny fine features and a cherub face!

 

It was a wonderful session with a great family and I look forward to our paths crossing again!

Saint John photography of a new family picture

Finn’s Journey

Finn’s journey has been followed buy thousands of people who have been reading his story and know his lovely parents. When we did his beautiful Mama’s maternity session we chatted a little bit about the uncertainty of the future. We didn’t know how long he would remain at the IWK or when we would do his new-born pictures but fate has a funny way of making everything work out.

He was able to come home sooner then expected and we were able to capture his newborn pictures. He was a sweet little newborn with the most soulful little eyes! We had a few giggles over his hairdo given to him by the medical staff but it didn’t take away from his sweetness!

Finn’s journey is not over and he will face multiple challenges in his life and our thoughts and prayers are always with him and his sweet family.

Worth the Wait

Every baby is worth the wait, every baby has a story regarding their arrival. However baby Flynn’s is unique and his journey to his Mommy’s arms is short of amazing. He truly is a miracle baby!

I had the intense joy of working with his sweet family and his mother, who just GLOWED! She is truly someone who wears her heart on her sleeve and the intense love she has for her son radiated from her.

We were able to capture the family pets in one of the portraits, and some sweet ones of dear little Flynn.

Thank you again for including me on his amazing journey to your family!
