I love the energy in the home when a new baby arrives. Everyone is fully present and in awe of their tiny addition. There’s this feeling of stillness and reflection. As though nostalgia and present time have come together. It’s pretty magical.

Meet Leland. I documented his sister Juniper’s birth a few years ago, but due to covid restriction I was unable to attend his. So after they got home from the hospital I headed over there when he was 8 days new for a Meet the Baby session! His tiny toes and his incredible eye contact made me melt.

I absolutely adore this family. I have been lucky enough to photograph them many times. Juniper played the role of big sister really well. Comforting Leland, reading to him, kissing him. The way he looks at her and sleeps soundly in her arms. So cute! And the sweet connection between Juniper and her pup was a beautiful thing to see. All in all, hanging out with them and documenting their afternoon as they began their new chapter was such an honour.

Is there really a better gift than a new baby during the holidays? This big sister will tell you NO WAY! Her love and curiosity for her brother was very apparent! When I arrived at their home for a Meet the Baby session big sister was helping get her brother ready before they all cuddled and jumped on the bed. After hanging out there for a while, we headed downstairs to the festive living room. Of course we were letting their toddler lead the session so she decided it was time to play dress up! YES! Their costumes were absolutely perfect! Baby brother was pretty hungry after all that fun, so we declared it snack time! He got quite sleepy after snack which allowed us to get some sweet shots of him under the Christmas tree before laying him on the bed for some suuuuper adorable close ups of all his cuteness!!
I seriously love it when families welcome me in to their home so I can capture these personal and very sweet authentic moments of them. Winter is a very popular time for in home sessions because during the colder months it’s hard for the children to be outside for too long. But being in your own home will add a whole new level of nostalgia to your images. And honestly, it’s not uncommon that we end the session outside playing in the back yard or at a local park, or building snow people and making snow angels, or having snowball fights.
