Alana & Huck
These first months when your baby is still connected to your body, when they almost feel like another limb...a limb that cuddles and wakes you up in the night when they're hungry. This time slips past so quickly.
Margot 6 Months
So when Walt turned 6 months old I stuck him on our bed and took a few snaps, not to play favourites I did the same thing with Margot. (Walt & Caleb also make an appearance in this shoot)
My Birth Story (number two)
If you read my last birth story you would know that I had three false starts with my labour and so going into this one I thought 'my body had done this before, it knows what it's doing...when my labour starts it will be starting for real'. Boy was I wrong.
Baker Family
I took Libby & Harley's wedding photos very early on in my wedding photography career and so I was super pumped when they came back for family photos!
Iris’ Birth
Earlier this year Annika had the pleasure of photographing beautiful baby Iris' entrance into the world. If you're even slightly interested in having us come along and document your birth we're having an information session this Sunday.
Birth Photography Information Session
So you're pregnant, you've seen other people's birth photos and you think they're beautiful but the idea of having a stranger come and photograph you at your most vulnerable totally freaks you out. It's good for other people but not for you, I get it, I felt the same.
Indie
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting lovely Indie, she is one beautiful baby.
The Spear Family
It rains every time I photograph Mark & Christina, both their engagement and their wedding photos were interrupted by rain. Thankfully this time we'd already planned for an indoor shoot!
Gilbert Meets Wesley
A few hours after Josie gave birth I returned to the hospital for a mini shoot so that I could photograph Gilbert meeting his new baby brother.
Walt’s Mini Shoot
Last week was cold and rainy so I decided to do a little photo shoot with Walt!
What I learned (or haven’t): Birth Photos vs Wedding Photos
Having my birth photographed has gotten me to ask the question, why doesn't everyone get their birth photographed?
Thorson Photo School: Background
Since having a baby (Hold on did I mention I've had a baby? Only like a million times) I've had a lot of friends say things like "Oh you're so lucky to have all these beautiful photos of Walt" and "I wish I could take beautiful photos of my baby too". Well you're in luck, I'm going to show you how! The principles I'm going to teach you will also work with lots of different subjects, so even if you don't have children this is for you.
What I Learned: The First Few Months
Like with both labor and pregnancy being a parent is such a personal thing, I can only tell you what I learned and what worked for us...not what's best for you.
Simon, Josie & Gilbert
Earlier this year you may remember I photographed my brother Simon & his lovely wife Josie's new baby Gilbert. Well, it's been about 6 months which means it's time for another photo shoot and you'll notice that little Gilbert is not so little anymore, he's grown into a very happy and chubby baby! Once again I took the photos at Simon and Josie's house, I love taking family photos in their natural environment. I hope you enjoy!
Gilbert
Meet my nephew Gilbert, he might just be the cutest baby in the whole wide world...I'm not biased at all! I've never been a 'baby photographer' but I loved going into Simon & Josie's house and experiencing their life with a new baby, as Josie said "I'm not really one for putting my baby in a flower pot"...we like to keep thing authentic in this family.
