pink and white cake smash

pink and white cake smash

The first year flies by, so many firsts, so many wondrous moments. Elouise charmed her family the moment she arrived and we can hardly believe that already she is one. She was happy to looking around and serene and serious. Her sweet little eyes never missed anything and we all had high hopes for her cake smash. Her pink and white themed cake smash had a modern twist with the hooped pink hydrangea flowers and a white vintage romper.

She had other ideas.

She was not overly excited about her cake. We tried every way we could possibly think of to get her to touch the cake. After one poke she decide that she had enough. We tried to get her to play with some of her toys by sticking them in the cake. She was not impressed we got them dirty. As it turned out, she was not excited about ANY cake! A few days later on her birthday, with family and friends, she was presented with another cake. Once again she let her family know she was not a big fan.

We never know how a baby will react to a cake! Sometimes they think it is their chance to destroy their food like they have always wanted to and other times they decide it is not happening. Ever.

On the bright side? She was sweet, her white and fascia pink hydrangea set up was so pretty.  I love that we were able to make it modern while keeping some vintage flavour.

Two is Amazing

I have been photographing Jamie’s families for almost  five years! His parents had their first session with me when they were pregnant with their oldest daughter and over the past few years we have had over six sessions and this was lucky number seven!

His parents wanted to celebrate Jamie turning two. I give parents a fair warning to bring snacks, bribes and attic because two is a difficult age to photograph. Two year olds are curious, amazing, nosey and overall BUSY! They never sit still. Jamie didn’t disappoint! He checked out everything in the studio, ran around, played, snacked and kept his mom and I hopping! At the end of the session we were completely beat out!

Toddler sessions are so much work but worth every single bit of effort. He was a darling and his pictures capture his personality, his little smiles and smirks and the fun he brings to his family’s life.

Happy Birthday sweet boy!

First Birthday and a Cake Smash | Ellie

Ellie’s mom booked a first birthday and cake smash session for her this winter. I always ask if parents had any idea of what type of a theme they would like to do or if they are open to a few new ideas. Ellie’s Mom was open to something different and I sent her little list with a few details. She like the idea of navy with stairs and a simple white outfit because it would be dramatic. I was so excited to agreed to that particular setup, it has been on my list of want to do for quite a few months.

Ellie was a joy to photograph! She smiled and and was very agreeable. We flew through her family pictures and the first couple of setups and then it was time for the cake smash. She LOVED the cake and appreciated every mouthful.

Thank you so much for brining Ellie to my studio!! She was joyful and fun to photograph!

maternity photography in a Saint John Studio, wearing a wine dress

Gorgeous Saint John Maternity Pictures

Majority of my clients love to have their maternity pictures taken outside. In February, the weather was unpredictable; cold, wet with snow storms and Danielle booked a studio session in my Saint John studio. The results were gorgeous and elegant maternity pictures!

Not only is Danielle beautiful on the outside, she is also incredibly smart and was weeks away from her university graduation! She chatted about what she had left to do to complete her degree. Her little girl came with her and she was so well behaved. Quietly playing while her mama was photographed. We worked away from set up to set up.

Being in the studio there was no worries about the weather being poor outside or the temperature. Playing with the gowns in the studio and the ones she brought, different lighting and backgrounds, I was able to give her a gorgeous gallery of images.

Thank you Danielle! It was a pleasure to have done these for you!elegant and gorgeous pregnant woman wearing a wine coloured dressmaternity pictures with a white background pregnant woman wearing two dresses and posing for her pictures

a baby sleeping with his eyes closed and long lashes on his cheeks

Welcome New Baby Brother- Saint John Newborn

This family welcomes a new baby brother to Saint John. This little guy hands down is the envy of every woman with his gorgeous long eyelashes! I am guessing they reached the sky but I would never know because he slept soundly for the entire session!

We kept the colours neutral with a soft grey and baby blue and gently posed him  how he wanted to move. I received the biggest compliment from his sweet mama who said that we were her push present! I love she wanted something special such as photographs that will last her entire life.

He even achieved the perfect little smile at the right time! Usually what happen is I will put my camera down to adjust something or change a setting on the back of the camera and then baby will ALWAYS smile. I miss so many smiles! This little guy never cracked a grin but when he did my shutter when click! And the stars aligned!

Quispamsis welcomed another new little resident this January! This sweet newborn girl was born into one of my favorite families and the second baby for them! It was a pleasure planning her session with grey, white and a soft blush pink.

She was nice and sleepy and we were able to accomplish quite a bit during her session. Thank you so much for returning to me for her session!
