Siblings – Winnipeg Baby & Child Photographer

In all of life there is nothing more precious than the gentle ties that bind us together.

-Adele Basheer

I always knew that I wanted children, and hoped that I would be lucky enough to have them. Siblings are pretty special, and after the birth of my son Harrison in 2013, I knew our family wasn’t yet complete. My husband and I both have brothers, and I looked forward to blessing our son with a sibling someday. In April of 2016, our daughter Chloe was born… and we were complete 🙂

One very special memory in my life, was the moment Harrison met Chloe for the first time. My heart completely melted when he held her and gazed down at her (and I have a photo of this moment to treasure forever).  I love watching them interact and grow together. Although they are three years apart, I can see that they have a very special bond and friendship that will last forever.

I’d be happy to take photos of your children and family. Contact me to book a session!

Little animal – Winnipeg Child Photographer

When you’re free, you can play. And when you’re playing, you become free.

-Heidi Kaduson

I love watching my son play. Now at age four, his imagination is really starting to take off and the ideas he comes up with are uniquely his own.

My husband’s Aunt gave him an activity book that came with these little animal masks; he wanted to make them and try them out 🙂

Capturing childhood is something really special. I’d love to take photos of your children – please contact me to book a session!

Pretty – Winnipeg Baby Photographer

If you think I’m cute now, wait until you see me in my tutu.

-Unknown

Babies in tutu’s are adorable! When I found out I was having a girl, I bought several tutu’s, in a variety of colours! I fell in love with this “Pretty Planks” floordrop by Lemondrop Backdrops, and decided to snap a few photos of my daughter wearing her tutu’s on this beautiful floor. She was not to pleased with the outfit changes, but I managed to capture some of the cuteness while she was happy.

I have a small collection of outfits (for baby girls and boys) and floordrops,  that I’d love to use for your next baby session! Contact me to book a date 🙂

Sleeping babe – Oakbank Family Photographer

When my baby is sleeping that’s when I think, “Wow. I made that.”

Maria Jose Ovalle

I love watching my children sleep, and always wonder what they are dreaming about. It gives me a moment to reflect on the miracle they both are, reminds me to slow down, and enjoy the small things; All their little features, breathing and warm embrace.

Snuggling my babies will always be a fond memory of mine (and my husband’s). Today I captured our daughter shortly after she fell asleep in his arms. I made an effort to photograph all the tiny details I want to remember from right now, at this time in her life.

I’d love to take photos of your baby as a newborn (and beyond), so you too, can cherish these precious memories 🙂

Birthday boy – Winnipeg Child Photographer

I constantly go between wanting you to be my baby forever, and being excited about all the amazing things you’ll do in this life.

Unknown

My baby boy turned four today!  I decided to have a photoshoot to celebrate today, and was surprised to find all of my props at a little store here in Oakbank.

I love how the photos captured his personality. He is spunky, energetic and confident 🙂

Contact me if you’d like to book a birthday session for your babies and children.

Big lollipop – Oakbank Child Photography

Sometimes you need to talk to a three year old so you can understand life again.

Unknown

Today Harrison celebrated his last day of being three years old, with a big lollipop 🙂 Three has been an eventful year for everyone. Harrison has grown to be a caring, smart, sensitive, confident and determined little boy. He is a wonderful big brother to his sister Chloe, and loves making her laugh with his goofy nature.

Being a photographer has allowed me to stay home with my children, and I am so grateful for that. Everyone says, “they grow up so quickly” and “enjoy it because it won’t last long”.  I’ve learned to love each milestone and accomplishment they achieve; rather than dwelling on the fact that they aren’t going to be “this little forever”.

I have made a great effort to document our family’s special days (and not so special days) – to keep our memories alive. I encourage you to do the same! I’d love to photograph your special memories and offer maternity, newborn, baby, child and family photography packages. Contact me to book a session 🙂

Genes – Winnipeg Baby Photography

A daughter is one of the most beautiful gifts this world has to give.

Laurel Atheron

 I am so grateful to be mommy to two beautiful, healthy children. They are each their own little person with different features and personalities. It is amazing to watch them learn and grow every day and it is neat to see little glimpses of my husband and I within them.

The most common question I am asked is if my husband has red hair – because both of my children have red hair, and my hair is blond. Much to everyone’s surprise, the answer is, “no, his hair is light brown… But I was born with red hair, and my grandmother and his great-grandmother were redheads.”

It is always fun to see which features resemble whom and everyone has an opinion lol. Today I decided to dress my daughter up in one of my own baby outfits (that my parents have kept as a keepsake for the last 35 years). I was able to find a photo of me wearing the outfit – which was perfect to use for comparison. I can see a few similarities, but personally think she has more of my husband’s features.

My photo is on the left. What do you think?

If your family has held onto something you, or your spouse, wore as a baby, I’d love to photograph your baby wearing it a your own baby’s session 🙂

My flower girl – Oakbank Baby Photographer

I know a girl, she puts the colour inside of my world.

– John Mayer

After seeing a photograph of a baby wearing a flower bonnet, I was smitten, and had to recreate it with my daughter Chloe. I found an online tutorial, went to Michaels to get supplies, and made three different bonnets!

I love how these images turned out. The softness of the backlighting was perfect, and my daughter’s expressions are priceless. The bonnets I made are great for Sitter sessions, and I would love to capture your little one wearing one 🙂

Keepsakes – Winnipeg Photographer

Keepsake: an object of sentimental value.

It is amazing how an object can trigger our memories. They can take us back in time and help us remember. Both of my parents are fairly sentimental and have held on to many family items (perhaps too many!). Today I decided to photograph some of the items they’ve kept as keepsakes.

These items were given to my parents in the hospital, from family and friends, following the birth of my brother and I. They are now considered “vintage” and although I obviously do not remember the time they were gifted to my parents, they’ve been kept safely tucked away in storage…to preserve the memories associated with them.

Photos are the most precious keepsake one can treasure. Not only do they trigger memories of significant times in our lives, they capture moments in time. Now that we are living in a digital age, it is so easy to backup our photos to the computer and let them remain there…tucked away in storage. I declare we print our favourite pictures, display them in our homes, and create albums that can shared with generations to come!

I offer prints and an array of keepsake items with each of my Newborn, Maternity, Babies & Children, and Family packages. I’d be more than happy to help you showcase your memories 🙂

Bubbles – Winnipeg Child Photographer

May all your troubles be bubbles.

– Unknown

Candid and carefree… these are my favourite photos to capture. Today I took photos of my son in the bath; drinking the water, sliding around, blowing and catching bubbles. He loved the big bubbles best, was pretty determined to catch them, and when he did, he’d say, “I catched it”. He’s turning four next week and I hope his carefree, curious and confident personality follows him for years to come.

The candid nature of today’s photos, and my final editing choices, truly represent my son at this time in his life. I love how the black and white images are dramatic and have a different feel than the softly coloured ones. I take the time to edit each individual photo and decide what style best represents the captured moment.

I would love to photograph you and your family, and guarantee that the same time and care is given to your own images after a session with me 🙂
