I am not the most organized person - I will openly admit to that. Those who know me will certainly attest to that. I am far from perfect, despite being a perfectionist. There isn't a single day that goes by where I don't give myself a little talking-to about how I could have done so and so just a little bit better. However, I do pride myself on one thing - when I make portraits, I do it from my heart. To me, that is the only way I can do what I do and love what I do.
Before I begin photographing a client, I always spend at least 5 minutes letting go - I want to start all my sessions with a blank canvas and without any pre-conceived notions. Once the session begins, my mission is to create my most heartfelt photographic artwork. I let my heart and soul take over, and I trust that by doing so, the end result will always be satisfying and successful.
The photographs that I present here today are a few of my favourites from my wonderful photographic session with newborn A (9 days old!) and his lovely family. These six portraits speak to my heart directly, and is yet another testament that good things come about when I pour my heart and soul into my work. I love these portraits, and I hope you do too.

Ok ok. My bad. It is February 12, a good month after my last blog entry. I really do admire those who constantly update not only their blogs, but their Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, LinkedIn accounts, etc. etc.! How does one do it?? What is the secret? Pray tell!
Most would agree that I am sociable and chatty, but when it comes to blogs...I have to really WORK at it!
Enough of my babbling. I would like to introduce this precious newborn little girl. She is pure perfection - perfect size, perfect temperament, perfect model! I know mom and dad have been waiting anxiously - so without further ado, here are some of my favourites from our session.

I have waited months and months to photograph this precious one. Congratulations once again, S and B, for the birth of your absolutely beautiful and perfect baby D. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to photograph baby D and for allowing me to be a part of your lives - you have touched me deeply.
Here are some of my favourites from our session. I will be in touch shortly!

baby D looks spectacularly beautiful on those photos. I'm sure S and B are so grateful having him. He's so cute and cuddly.

If I was any good at writing blogs I would have logged at least a few entries within the last few weeks - wishing everyone happy holidays, happy new year... It is embarrassing to admit how many journals and personal blogs I have started and just left hanging. At one point I think I owned 5 domain names - all for the purpose of keeping various personal blogs of some sort. I have even made it a resolution one year to keep a diary! I have so much going on in my head that it does make sense to write some of my thoughts down, but what I found was that I always thought way more (and way faster) than I could write or type, and ultimately, I don't get a fraction of what I want to say written down. I would be writing all day and getting nothing else accomplished if I wanted my thoughts recorded! I guess I just wasn't good at paraphrasing my thoughts.
Speaking of paraphrasing, I want to showcase here the first newborn at my studio for 2010: little newborn baby E! Her big sister A now has someone she can boss around!
Well done, C and R! As always, it was a pleasure to see you. I will be posting your maternity set within the next few days as well (yes, order is reversed, I apologize!). The banana cream pie recipe will also be coming your way shortly!
I hope you love these as much as I do!

Happy New Year - Newborn Baby E!

Baby E is special - of course, all of my clients' babies are special, but baby E is especially special. You see, I like Baby E's mom and dad a lot. The minute I met L and N for their pre-session consultation, I just knew. I was only hoping that the feeling was mutual.
After they left from baby E's session, I once again reflected on how it is people like L and N that make my work feel so much like fun. Clients like L and N carry me through the tough times of running a business. Yes, I absolutely love what I do - I love making art for my clients, where the subjects are so near and dear to their hearts. However, the flip side is all the business "stuff" that I have to deal with, the unglamorous side of my work if you will.
So L and N, thank you for being who you are, and for allowing me to be a part of your lives. You know I speak from the heart when I tell you how special you guys are to me. In the meantime, I wanted to post a few of my favourites from E's session.
And here, looking very serious and pensive:
