Mama to Be Chelsea | Almonte Maternity Photographer

Not everyone wants to get a full album of maternity portraits captured and that is totally okay to just want one or a few photos to commemorate their journey to parenthood (or prefer to spend their budget on the newborn session instead), and that is totally okay. The petite maternity session was made especially for those people: a quick and

Mama to Be Amelie | Almonte Maternity Photographer

When the sun and weather cooperate beautifully for your maternity session AND the bugs took most of the night off, it’s a great day in my books. This is one of my favourite spots in Mississippi Mills to take clients because it has the best of all the things: waterfront, woody trails, bridges, and clearings for field-like portraits. Plus that

Newborn Baby Arthur – 1 week new

Baby Arthur came to visit the portrait studio for his newborn photography session at just over 1 week new, 9 days old to be exact. He was a teeny tiny 6 pounds of sleepy joy and while he was not a fan of few of the setups I had ready for him, he was a champ on the poser and snoozed peacefully

Sitting Up with Baby Boy de Montigny – 6 months old

My very own sweet little boy is officially 6 months old and doing amazing with his sitting skills! He is pushing up his whole body like a plank, belly laughing with his gorgeous smile, and has just recently started to sit himself up unassisted. And we can tell he is going to start crawling soon with the way that he

Newborn Baby Beverly – 4 weeks new

Baby Beverly came to visit the portrait studio for her newborn photography session at just under 4 weeks new, 26 days old to be exact. She slept beautifully for almost the entire session, even through her sister’s tantrum (lucky for us!), which meant we got an extra setup (petites usually have one). World, meet Beverly. Here are a few favourites from the

Posing A Toddler Like A Newborn

It’s no secret that I am an advocate for “no such thing as too old” for newborn photos and that we simply need to set proper expectations and posing limitations that come with babies growing older. So when my toddler asked me if I could pose her like mama’s studio babies, I took it as a dual opportunity to get

Newborn Baby Ellie – 3 weeks new

Baby Ellie came to visit the portrait studio for her newborn photography session at just over 3 weeks new, 24 days old to be exact. She was a champ and slept almost the entire session, and posing her was such a breeze. She certainly made my job easy for posing, but narrowing down images was so difficult (a great problem to have!).

Newborn Baby Saviana – 3 weeks new

Baby Saviana came to visit the portrait studio at 3 weeks new to participate in a posing workshop. She wasn’t a fan of being touched or posed, which is much more common than you think, but once we were able to get her to sleep, I was able to capture some beautiful images. She even flashed us a huge smile!

Newborn Baby Maxime – 8 weeks new

Not-so-little baby Maxime came to visit the portrait studio for his newborn photography session at just under 8 weeks new, at 52 days old to be exact. At a whopping 13 pounds, he juuust fit into my favourite crate, and capturing those snuggle mama & baby portraits was certainly a challenge to carry him that high but we made it work beautifully.
