Baby Leona - Celebrating Motherhood- Day 1

There is deep truth to the emotional journey a woman experiences soon after she becomes a Mother. This looks different for all of us but one thing holds true. We have a deep down immediate desire to be a protector and to fulfill our child's needs for safety and security. This kind of love is hard to place into words, but our children have a unique way of showing their "thanks". It may be seen in the way they only look at us, or a happy gaze they place by the sound of mom's voice, or it could be even be by the way they follow us around all day long seeking closeness. Their need for connection is strong and very much seen in the first year of a child's life.

Here is the super lovely Clemow family, whom I first met last Spring when I document sweet Quinn's newborn images. If you are curios you can click here and enjoy them! 

Today, almost a year later, we meet again to capture just how much the boys have grown and also celebrate their new home in Renfrew! One of the best parts about seeing little ones grow is witnessing their personalities come to life! Reid was so inviting and shared with me just how awesome of a big brother he is to little Quinn. I left with a new friend and honoured to show his parents images of just how happy he is to have them by his side!

Roman - 7 months old - Ottawa Baby Photographer

In January I hosted my annual Family Day Giveaway!

Today I am sharing the first of three sessions in documenting the growth and change of sweet little Roman and his family who where the winners of a year’s worth of photos! It’s a pretty special gift to see the changes of a little one over the course of a year and I hope you enjoy following along watching Roman grow! Here he is at 7 months old.

William - 9 months old - Ottawa Baby Photographer

A couple of weeks ago I received a beautiful message from Victoria asking if I could capture her along side her adorable little 9 month old baby boy William. Motherhood has been a transformation and time was slipping to freeze just a glimpse of what a day felt like together. She loved how I used film to observe and craft each frame ~ as she had fond memories of her own mother’s love for photography.⠀
