I was there documenting the moment Nolan came in to the world. It was such a beautiful and calm birth which you can see HERE. When Nolan was born, he made Asher a big bro! So when Nolan was 4 days old we did an in home family session. As you can imagine, it's pretty wild working with a toddler and a newborn. You gotta be quick. You gotta be ready all the time. You gotta learn the art of distraction, and I have definitely become a pro at that, ha ha ha. So even though Asher was more interested in playing than having his picture taken (like most tots), we were able to capture him in his world doing the things he loves, and the pictures turned out perfect and natural and real!!

Alma & Wilder
Alma and Wilder met one week before these photos were taken. These siblings met at the Toronto Birth Centre moments after Wilder was born and I was there to document the whole thing! If you have not yet seen that slideshow you should! It's beautiful. This mom totally rocked that birth and she totally radiates during and afterwards! You will also see how incredibly hands on Alma was from the get go. So helpful and motherly. It was clearly a true reflection of her own parents. I have spent 3 separate occasions with this little lady, and I could see that when she's inspired by something, she goes for it. For example, at the maternity session she was a very proud butterfly who fluttered around and smelled all the flowers! And at the birth she was very intrigued with the midwives and what they were doing that she pretty much took over the placenta tour! And you'll see below that not only was she playing mom, she also became the photographer for a while during our family session. She has so much spunk and I was so glad I was able to capture some of that while I hung out with her as her new baby bro was being nursed. After spending that time with Alma it was time to take pictures of Wilder as he lay sound asleep looking so dreamy and perfectly squishy. I think these photos can tell the story.
