Newborn Sessions with a Cherry on Top

Newborns are magic. They are so tiny, the littlest they’ll ever be. And sadly this phase is so quick. A few blinks and your new baby changes. You’ll want to capture this very precious time for sure! I know for some people it can feel like a lot of effort to deal with a newborn session so close to giving birth. But the good news is, I’m going to make this very easy on you. Remember, I am a birth photographer and a mother of 2. I know exactly what it’s like to be postpartum. I can come to you for a newborn family lifestyle session this way you are in the comfort of your own home. We don’t need a lot of space. We just need a bit of light and all that sweet love that a newborn brings to the family. In-home family newborn sessions are more personalized and unique because the backdrop is your living space.

However….(scrooooooll on down)…

Posed Newborn Mini Session

However, you may want those studio shots of your newborn dressed in cute hats and placed in tiny buckets and beds and posed in adorable ways. You can have it all! You can always add a Posed Newborn Mini Session, and I will bring all the blankets, swaddles, props and accessories to your home. And then we’ll add about 30 minutes to the session to create these adorable pictures that will melt your heart. You also get an additional 10 images in your gallery.

The Clover Field

If you read both parts of the Isolation series, you may have guessed how we spend this past summer. Well I will tell you…

We had the most glorious summer in the most glorious place after a not-so-glorious year living in a high rise in Toronto with constant on again off again lockdowns. We essentially repeated what we did last summer and drove 25 hours to the Interlake. Only this year we had a more permanent living situation. We lived in a sweet cottage on about 2 acres of land with the sweetest vintage trailer that I used as an office and sometimes a guesthouse! We swam in the lake almost every day and rode horses every week and ate ice cream from our favourite ice cream shop as much as we could! I’d wake up every day and pinch myself just to make sure it was all real. The place belongs to Grandpa James. It was built by his grandfather. His mother Margaret grew up in the house. The house was sitting unused for maaaany many years so he offered this space to us since it’s exactly what we were looking for. It just needed a little TLC. We had so much fun bringing life back to the old place. I felt like we went back in time with the vintage decor. We had arborite tables, original hardwoods, and a retro fridge (that required manual defrosting), and everything in the place was from the 70’s or earlier. Needless to say, I was in heaven. Living in my “Good Place” home. (Have you seen The Good Place?) Anyway, our time there was rather sentimental actually. On so many levels. Which I will absolutely get in to on another day. But today, I wanna talk about The Clover Field.

The Clover Field is what I named the outdoor photography studio that I was able to create on this land. Everything about this space was inspiring. The light was magnificent! The land itself was so pretty and has a sweet nostalgic feeling. A perfect spot for any kind of session. This space provided me with the inspiration to create again after a rather challenging year. Here, scroll down to see some images I took at this beautiful place.

I am very much looking forward to next summer already so I can meet even more people down at The Clover Field. Just like this year, I will take a very limited number of sessions. So contact me if you are interested in booking a session in Manitoba next summer. And consider signing up for my newsletter so you won't only be the first to know of any discounts, mini sessions and pop up events, but you'll also get first dibs at booking them. And guess what?! The timing is perfect because the most popular newsletter of the year will be going out this weekend!
