365 – 108 {May 13}

Mon, 14 May 2012 00:14:19 +0000

It’s hard to believe I have blogged 108 images / stories from my 365 day project. I have not been able to keep it up everyday (clearly as this is 134th day of the year (lol), but it’s been fun and I love when I’m able to capture at least SOMETHING from our week. Today we celebrate mother’s day. I had a beautiful day with my family starting with breakfast in bed from Mia and Will. Coffee (LOVE), blueberry muffin (LOVE) bacon (LOVE) – though a weird mix of food lol – and lindor chocolate ( L O V E ). Followed by a huge amount of cards and bristol board art / coupons…from Mia…

We spent the evening outside with the parents, dogs and just playing games.

It has been a long time coming for these beautiful, gorgeous babies…both for the family who tried so hard to get them here, and for the pictures we so desperately wanted to capture their miraculous life with. These three babies are shear miracles! Right after mom’s maternity session in December, she was put to immediate bed rest…and unfortunately, these little one’s didn’t want to wait to come into the world. Born at less than 30 weeks, their weights were all under 2.5 pounds, with prince Vaughn being the smallest at 1 pound 12 ounces. I admit that I did not think they would all make it because I have never personally seen a baby that was only a pound! We sent out lots of prayers, and God answered. Vaughn and Jillian were able to come home mid April, but little Emmy (who was the biggest baby of the three at 2 pounds 4 ounces) still couldn’t quite get a grasp on feeding and had to stay in the hospital. Bitter sweet for mom and dad who got to take 2 babies home…but heart breaking to leave Emmy there. FINALLY – after almost 17 weeks – ALL babies got to be home. They are doing fantastic!! They are now over 4 months old (corrected age of 6 weeks) and they did way better in the session than I had expected! I am so thrilled, and so in love with the story of this family.

Congratulations Jen and Jeremy! Thank you for letting me be a part of this amazing journey with you…(I can’t wait to see you all again at our next session)!!

These babies just melt my heart…

Baby Willow – her birth and her newborn sneak peak…. {Hamilton Ontario Birth Photographer}

I can honestly say there is nothing in the world like watching the birth of a baby…it was such a pleasure and an amazing experience working on Tuesday night to capture the birth of this beautiful little girl who at 1:37am early Wednesday morning, was welcomed into this world – and given the name “Willow”.

This was my first home birth experience and it was everything I hoped it would be…there were laughs, cries, tears, sweat …and an overwhelming sense of togetherness, love and peace. It was such an AMAZING experience. I still can’t believe I was a part of it. Willow turned 2 days old today and came for her photography debut. She was amazing…but lets take you back into the adventure of bringing this baby girl into the world, and meet the parents who let all of us be a part of it…

Meet Jenn, Jeff, Sage…and their newest addition – Willow <3

and today…she was just as perfect as she was just over 48 hours ago….

…and if she is anything like her big brother – she is going to be one gorgeous kid!

Thank you so much for having me be a part of this experience with you Jenn & Jeff…thank you for welcoming me into your home (and for not yelling at me when my camera continuously went off!) (and thank you for the little present today too – that was so kind!)…

Tropical baby…

Congratulations Suzy & Steve – {Hamilton Ontario Destination Wedding Photographer}

It has been wonderful working with this family over the past couple years…I met Suzy through capturing her sister’s newborn baby Mya almost two years ago and have been working with them all ever since. When Suzy first asked us to do her destination wedding, we were super excited – especially to find out it was going to be in the beautiful ARUBA! We have not done a destination wedding where we stayed at a different hotel than the bride and groom so it was interesting trying to coordinate this wedding, but it all worked out and the pictures turned out fabulous. Suzy & Steve married at a private island owned and operated by the Renaissance in Aruba…it’s a gorgeous island where you have to actually boat into the island from the hotel that Will & I stayed at. The boats came every 15 minutes and literally drove right into the middle of our hotel. It was only an 8 minute boat ride – but the island is gorgeous!! Surrounded by aqua marine waters, sandy beaches, pink flamingos, iguanas, Pelicans and much more! Suzy & Steve stayed at the RIU Palace in Aruba and what a gorgeous place to stay! Their room was amazing, the resort was amazing, the beach was amazing…needless to say it was an overall amazing wedding with every detail covered down to the last burlap place settings custom made by the bride herself. Thank you for having us capture this amazing wedding and for taking us all the way to Aruba to share in your special day. Here is a little (large) peak at their magical day….

So this 365 day project is turing into me blogging every few days. I must get back on track!!! Today I had a maternity session and a newborn session…at the end of the sessions, as long as I’m okay with it, Kingston likes to come and say hi to people (he’s a great guard dog mind you, but when we are here he’s okay). He loved these two!! Came right in and made himself at home LOL!

I can’t believe how amazing these two parents are and how in love with their BRAND NEW baby girl they are! They had no idea they were having a girl so it was an even bigger surprise than most. I loved watching how they all interact and loved hearing about her 5-hour labour, arriving at the hospital 9cm dilated already…love hearing birth stories!
