Nevaeh + Eve :: Fresh

michele — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 07:55:48 +0000

Two girls, fresh out of the tub……cotton jammies, clean sheets, bouncing and giggles. What more could you ask for?!

And yes, I do realize that our youngest mildly resembles Jack Nicholson in The Shining – darn good thing she’s cute, right?

Enjoy the pics…man, it was funny getting these. Little ones crack me right up!

Mish.

The Misses

Just a little post of the girlies I had forgotten about. A few of these images have actually been framed up big and put proudly on our walls last month; just got so busy I forgot to blog ‘em! These were snapped after a baby session I had done at Brooke’s studio, and B decided to pick up her camera and snap a few of Eve while she chilled on the bed. Well, Big Sis decided she wanted in there ( amazing)! so I actually got some updated pics of the two of them together. I managed to catch a few shots I adore, but the majority were shot by Brooke while I bounced around trying to get Eve to peek up at us….Brooke, I love love LOVE these; thank you so much for the impromptu quickie:)!

Do I ever feel lucky to call these two cuties my girls……

Here he is……Mister Quinton, born on May 25th to Mum Heather, Dad Nick and big sis Cyan. I don’t think I’ve met a prouder family…..thanks so much for having me do your photos again. Heather ever-so-kindly informed me that I am their official “photographer for life”. Not a bad title, is it?!

Their little man was a perfectly snuggable 5 days old here. SUCH a beautiful little guy with a wonderful and hilarious family…thanks again!

Are you KIDDING me with this one? Girl, you are a pro in front of the camera……thank you for being comfortable and lovey, and oh-so easy:)I heart this image:)

Mr. Evan:: Baby

I think some of my favorite sessions are those of returning clients…..especially when those clients happen to little ones..hehe! This adorable little man first came by to see me when he was just 4 or five days old, ( click here for photos) and he was even easier this time around. Actually, he was my easiest and happiest little man to-date. I don’t think he stopped flashing his cute little grin the entire time. Mum and Dad, thank you so much for contacting me again….I can’t wait to see you next time around and hope you enjoy Evan’s photos:)

Miss Veda:: New

michele — Fri, 28 May 2010 08:47:02 +0000

This little beauty found me through my Dad…he had sold her Mum and Dad their new home and he got them a new baby session as a gift – I hope they love the results! Miss Veda was just over 3 weeks in these, and wasn’t yet 7 pounds. Just a teensy little thing, and with the most beautiful features. Thank you to Mum and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa for coming along; it was wonderful to meet you….Veda is a lucky lady:) And once again – thank you Brooke for lending a hand behind the camera ( a few of these images are hers) as well as wrangling my kiddos while I finished up…appreciated as always.

Enjoy!

Sweet baby girl.
One of my all time favorite new-Mum photos. Simply beautiful.
Thanks to Brooke for this great detail shot….does Veda not have amazing lips?!

Spring Sneaks :: 2010

michele — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:08:17 +0000

Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to the past week……although it is of course starting to feel hectic and busy and crazy – I am loving being in the midst of it all! This next week is going to be another one with me behind the camera….Nevaeh’s ballet recital, an outdoor photoshoot of my girlies, a teensy baby girl, an uber stylish family of 4, and second shooting a wedding with Brooke. Whew!. I guess this means it’s time to start hitting the caffeine again. Hehehe!

Enjoy the sneaks and make sure to stay tuned in for full posts:)

A wonderful engagement session I got to shoot with Brooke Family session of four of the nicest kids around….a surprise for Father’s Day!My first wedding of the year….it was hot and very sunny – these two rocked it!Last but not least – a very chill baby boy. Easiest baby to date….thanks Evan!

Jack+Pina+Isabella :: Family

michele — Sun, 16 May 2010 07:50:58 +0000

These were so great to do while down on the Island, as the subjects are not only beauuutiful, but Mama Jack and I have been friends for about 28 years – WOW, does that make me feel old. One of my fondest memories is of us jumping into our swimsuits and hopping into her tub full of bright blue Calgon bubbles and then blasting the Beach Boys “Kokomo”. Another that you may have forgotten about Jack, is when we first got training bras and decided we wanted bigger tata’s- we improvised and took some of plastic eggs your Mum’s nylons came in, popped them in half and stuck em down our shirts. Oh yeah, we rocked it:) Anyways, on with the pics….your family is gorgeous Jack and I’m just so proud of how much you’ve accomplished.

Mwah!

My fave….you can just see how much Jack adores her girls.
Big Sis….Miss Pina.

Big Sis Pina…..this little lady had moves!

This one is extra special for Mum as this is the tiara Jack wore for her wedding 10 years ago….we also have a photo with Pina wearing it at just a few weeks old. Loving this…Do you ever wonder just what it is the wee ones are thinking at times?! hehe….Miss Isabella, or “Babybel” as she is more often called….such a dolly:)

Love these ones of Mama and her girls…** A last one added from our play date with the girls the following day – true Island weather, it drizzled the whole time, but we bundled up and got this smooshy, lovey image that I just adore. Thanks for the visit!

Baby Linden :: New

michele — Thu, 13 May 2010 08:29:12 +0000

My cousin’s 2nd baby, and first boy…..this is a rare thing in our family – you see…we ladies dominate! So, it definitely came as a surprise when a baby boy arrived in a very short amount of time just a few weeks ago. Linden was sweet enough to let me photograph him when he was 11 days old and I was back on the Island for a visit. Other than wanting to stay in his clothes, he was easy to calm and after just a few minutes of “shushing” him and holding a firm hand on his back he would close his eyes and drift off. Thank you Jenn for having me take his first photos – looking forward to many more:)

Mwah!

Baby Sneak:: Vancouver Island

michele — Tue, 04 May 2010 04:08:07 +0000

This past weekend I had the chance to not only meet up with friends and family, but also their new family members. I booked a room at the beautifully renovated Coast Bastion Hotel in Nanaimo, and in between sessions I enjoyed the ridiculous harbour view and the yummiest food. Mmmmm. The teeniest little man belongs to my cousin Jenn, and he was 10 days old and not yet 7lbs. Definitely made me have the “fever”. Hehe. Second was a friend and ex co-worker from back in the banking days at TD…I photographed her fam, including her “little” man….he is 19 lbs and just 4 months old. I think it’s safe to say he may take after his Dad:) Last but not least was my dear friend Jack and her gorgeous little ladies…..Jack and I have been friends since we were 4 years old, and these two little girls have two of the greatest parents I’ve ever met. Big Sis Pina is two years old, and Isabella….aka “BabyBelle” is 3 months. We had such a fun time, and even met up in the rain to shoot a few family pics the next afternoon.

I had a wonderful day….loved the hotel, loved the babies and catching up with old friends. Oh, and the light?! Dee-vine! Brooke and I are planning to shoot as much as we can in this same spot in the upcoming months and I CANNOT wait!

PS – Nevaeh and I spent the day at Coombs Market this afternoon and I think I’m still drooling!!! Enjoy the pics…full posts coming soon!

Introducing Baby Linden – April 20th/ 6 pounds 13 ounces
