Toronto in Spring, Perfect For Family Portraits

It’s been a loooooooooong winter! It felt longer than usual! And the snow was pretty relentless. We got a sneak peek into spring last week with those warm temperatures which means, before we know it, everything will be luscious and vibrant, full of greens and pinks and purples and so much colour! Everything blossoms! Including the inspiration to write the seasonal newsletter, (so make sure you sign up because that’s going out soon)! But the energy that comes with spring as we feel our bodies recharge and reignite is refreshing. It’s truly a beautiful time to put on those flowy dresses and fun outfits then step into the gorgeous light in front of my camera!

Let’s spend a lovely late afternoon together strolling through the park capturing frame-worthy photographs of you and your loved ones! Like the photos posted here from our absolutely perfect spring session in High Park last year! Photoshoots are always a sweet adventure for the whole family. Even people who claim they hate their photos being taken always have a great time and are always so grateful at how quickly they feel at ease. You just need to show up as you and continue being you!

Oh, just looking at these again has gotten me so eager to get out there! I cannot wait to see some of you again this year and I’m really excited to meet so many new families this year too!

Later Newborn Sessions

One of the biggest stressors I get from parents wanting a newborn session is that they worry they won’t be ready in the first 2 weeks after baby is born. Sometimes moms needs a bit more time healing, or sometimes babies needs a little more time adjusting. Sometimes, lifestyle newborn sessions happen when babies are 8 weeks old! And that is okay.

A few months after this couples radiant winter maternity session, we did an in-home lifestyle newborn session when baby was almost 2 months old. They might just be the cutest stretcher and yawner! And those new smiles, oh my goodness. Melt!

Take a scroll down to see some favourites from our session! And when you’re ready to book yours, come say hi!

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.

In-Home Newborn Sessions

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 the studio, 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.

Remember! Everyday your new baby gets a little bigger and a little stronger. These sessions are definitely time sensitive, so do not miss your one and only opportunity to capture your baby at their tiniest! And if you want two cherries on top, you can also add a sweet personalized film!
