The Birth of Baby Yas!

There really is nothing more amazing then being present for the birth of a baby! This little baby was so special because she was this couples first baby, along with the first grandchild on both sides of the family too. Dad had never held a baby before he held his own and when you see that moment in the video, it's incredible. And all you mothers out there will feel the same joy as this Mum felt when baby latched! A GREAT latch too!

I loved how family oriented this birth was. It's too bad some hospitals have a protocol that only allows 2 people in the room, but they embraced it and made the most of it. This family was spread out all over the globe, so they were face timing and texting! I just love the role technology played in this experience to keep the family and friends connected. So much love. What a lucky little baby! 

Watch this video, but be sure to grab some tissue. If you are feeling broody...beware!

Laura

Last month I was lucky enough to photograph this woman! Laura is studying to become a Naturopath so she wanted some bright dreamy photos for her upcoming website! 

These are just some of my favourites from the session. 

I love when people don't think they are photogenic and they say the camera makes them awkward because I love to prove them wrong. See!! You'd think she was a natural born model! Maybe she is and just didn't know it!? And maybe you are too!!? 
Just remember, if you don't think you're photogenic, you're wrong. Just blame the photographer, it's their fault, not yours!

Limited Frames, Unlimited Love.

I try to shoot 1 roll of film a week. Shooting with film is a GREAT way to practice catching the perfect moment because you can't just hammer away taking hundreds of pictures and hope for the best. You actually have to be aware and paying attention and be very present in the moment. 

Here's a collection of my favourite photos from May! So in love. I shared my collection last month too which were awesome because in April I was using expired 35mm film.

Every month I will continue to share my favourite photos from the film I shot that month! There is just something about film that adds so much character to a photo and fills it with warmth. Digital will never replace film. And that's a great thing!
