Three's Company

You may remember The Taronno's from election day! Up until their 20 week ultrasound it was assumed that one little nugget was nestled safe and sound in this mama's womb. But at that ultrasound it was discovered that inside were 3 identical baby girls all cozy and cuddly and healthy! Jaw-dropped, with tears of fear, these absolutely shocked parents were running out of time to prepare for three spontaneous babies. Triplets are born earlier, and most mama's carrying triplets end up on bed rest a little over half way through. She was also now considered high risk because there's so much uncertainty. She was transferred to OB care from midwifery care and a scheduled c-section was booked, so natural birth was pretty much out of the question. Naturally, with all this information, as joyous as having three babies is, it's also quite scary. Well, Gill rocked this pregnancy and managed to avoid bed rest! After they voted in this very important election on October 19th, they went to the hospital where three healthy girls were born via c-section! Sadie, Eleanor, and Martha. They all thrived with no complications, and after a couple weeks in the NICU, they got to go home! That's when I jumped on a plane to document the start of a whole new life for this family, as three became six! 

Now that was ADORABLE hey? Just a little hard on the ovaries for me! In fact, when I first laid eyes on them I unexpectedly started to cry. So, now to help you calm down from that urge to want your own set of triplets, we'll take a look at some behind the scenes (though, it doesn't help much). Which reminds me...even though these super parents seem to have things under control, if you know this family, be sure to stop by and say "hi", or to read a book to Ozzie, or do the dishes, or just to hold a baby! I am sure it would be much appreciated! Man, oh man, I thought life with one newborn was hard, I can't really imagine three!

Here's a wonderful mini session I did in Winnipeg with my sister and her family! It's incredible what you can capture in one space and 20 minutes! Family sessions are really great for the kids! Not only do I pretty much encourage the children to lead us through the photoshoot which gives them control and they are more likely to open up to me allowing me to capture them honestly, but we are also creating images to put all over your home! Having portraits of your family on your walls is a great way to boost your children's self esteem and self worth because they will always remind them of the fun session (that's why a portrait session has to be a positive experience) and they are constantly being visually reminded that they are loved! So plaster your home with pictures! You'll find that it will even boost your self esteem! 

Information about fall mini sessions will be available soon! I will announce it over on Facebook this weekend! So come follow along!

If you want to see more examples of my work, come look through my different galleries or continue on to my older posts! 

Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE when people welcome me in to their home and their neighbourhood! Nothing personalizes your photos more then using your own home as the "studio"! Many people think that their place wouldn't look good, but that's not true at all. I can honestly find the perfect spots in any home, and know exactly how to take the picture so that your family stays the main focus, and not the dents in the wall, or the mess in the corner, or the dust on the shelves. Hey, I know what life with kids is like. Have you been following me on Instagram or Facebook? haha. 

Well check out these picture I took of Jack and his family! The one thing you may notice right away is the honesty in the pictures. Most children feel more comfortable and more like themselves in their own spaces, so they are able to let loose so we can grab those genuine smiles and those genuine moments shared between the family instead of dangling a rattle for eye contact and a smile. There's no faking here. Just real life moments. 

If you are interested in setting up a photo session, have a snoop around my site and contact me so I can send you my packages and prices.
