Twin Birth + Welcome Home

{birth story}

If it's not their first born, then it's not uncommon for parents to want their children to witness the birth, or be there soon afterwards to meet their new sibling, or in this case, siblings! But sometimes it's just not possible. Either it's a c-section or the birth happens in the middle of the night, making it tricky for children to be present. Many of these families add a Meet The Baby session. Which means I will meet them at their home as they arrive from the hospital or as the grandparents bring the kids back home, so I can capture those moments where siblings (and/or other family members) meet the new addition(s)! That's what I did with this family!
Scroll down to see some of my favourite images from this birth and from when the siblings met, and don't forget to watch the full Birth Story at the bottom.

The People In Your Neighbourhood

For the past few years I have donated Spring mini sessions to two of our local schools during their fun fairs as auction prizes to raise money for the schools. I love doing this! I love meeting new families in my community and then seeing them regularly in the neighborhood. And I love being able to donate to our schools because we aaaall know that they are underfunded and are always in need of something. So next time you see that your local school is hosting an event open to everyone, go and support them, even if you don't have kids that go there because the people in your neighborhood impact your life, and your community. Support them!

I'm really looking forward to meeting the winners of this years auctions! Scroll down to see last years winners!

Oh Babies!

I am on call for so many births this spring and summer, I am really excited! I have started the domino effect of maternity sessions, and you know that I looooove maternity sessions. My last two birth meetings and maternity sessions were with couples who are expecting twins!! So special! scroll down to look at my favourite photos from both those sessions!

DENISE & BENTLEY
When most people think of an early spring photo session they think dreary and cold because it's the end of winter. Quite honestly, there is some real beauty in the bare trees and yellow grass and shrubs. Just check out this session from just the other day! I adore that barely frozen pond mixed with the autumn colours and the warm glow of the late afternoon sun hiding behind the clouds. And of course this mama's radiant dress is the perfect pop of colour. Hanging out with this couple for the afternoon was just wonderful. They certainly rocked their session. I am very much looking forward to being there to document the birth day of their babies!

TWO PLUS TWO
End of winter is also a perfect time for an in home session. Especially with little kids. It gave us time and space to chat about birth and documenting their birth day while the kids played. They later joined us for some photos. It couldn't have been more perfect that they came down the stairs with a heart balloon!! I can't wait for the day they meet their new babies!! Those pictures will be so so precious!
