I had to entitle the name of this blog post “Little Miss O”. I can’t tell you how many pictures of have of this adorable little girl with her mouth shaped into a perfect ‘o’. I had to put together a collection of my favourites as we giggled so much about it during her shoot. We did the whole shoot at Grandma’s place… she has a gorgeous backyard complete with gardens and waterfalls, plants and flowers, benches and gravel. A morning with this little sweetie would make anyone’s day!!!
It was a very very blah day out weather-wise, completely gray and overcast when I made my way over to my morning shoot this day. As soon as this client opened the doors to their home, my day brightened up. oooh, those baby blue eyes that greeted me! This 12 week old just made my heart melt the first moment I saw him — and for many moments afterwards. I mean, just look at his beautiful blue eyes!! He is such a gorgeous little guy … not surprising in the slightest considering his mom and dad are pretty darn beautiful themselves. I love his blue eyes, but a lot of these images were calling out for black and white. Thank you for such a lovely morning!
This little one is just sweetness through and through! She is one of those babies you just want to go up to and say…. oooooooooh my goodness, you are such a cutie!!! I think I did that about thirty times during our shoot!!
I played around a little bit with the last image of sweet baby with her daddy.. having some fun with textures… let me know what you think!!
This sweetheart was just all smiles!!! This stage of a baby’s first year is a treasure to photograph. They give gorgeous smiles, have so many expressions, can sit and push themselves up and have that wonderful baby posture we love. What a pleasure to photograph this 6 month old – she had me giggling the whole session through!
Every newborn I work with is a privilege for me. So imagine how thrilled I am when I’m able to take photos of two newborns at the same time! Taking photos of these two darlings literally gave me goosebumps. Sometimes I just had to put my camera down, sigh, look and adore. I hope you sigh, look and adore as well.
Here’s some photos to remember what Calgary was like before all this May snow on the ground!! What a treat to see this family again. We have gotten to know each other through an engagement shoot, wedding photos and newborn photos. This little girl is one of the sweet babies that now have their images up at the Foothills hospital Labour and delivery floor. She is now one year older and Mom and Dad told me she has gone for three haircuts already!
She was just so pleased with herself sitting up on this bench, I had to include this first image. And I just love her two bottom teeth!
When I looked back at my last posting, I couldn’t believe it was almost two weeks ago!! I wish I could have said I was enjoying daiquiris on a beach in the Caribbean but nope I was hard at work here in Calgary. It has been a very, very exciting couple weeks for Visual Hues Photography and so I’ve dedicated lots of time to the business over that time period.
I am sooooo thrilled to share these images with you. Remember the photo of this sweetheart on his bench… well, he has a sister to share the bench with now! His sister was born at the very, very, very end of March so we were happy to incorporate some spring into her images.
This new mom was not even in preschool when I first met her. And now she is a new mom … and as stunning as ever! She is the little sister of one of my very good friends and now she has the sweetest little newborn boy to love and adore! Thanks so much for two wonderful afternoons, Quinn. My biggest congratulations hugs to you all!
Remember this sweet little newborn from late last year? Well, he brought his two adorable cousins to his next photo shoot. The goal? To get a gorgeous shot of three cousins together. It’s not quite as easy as it sounds with a typical busy boy, a little girl not quite sitting up on her own yet and a 2 month newborn! In the end we decided to go with a shot from overhead and here is the result!! The three moms were sisters and we were able to capture lots of mom and child moments too.
Mom almost phoned to cancel our shoot because her little guy wasn’t feeling the best. I am so glad she didn’t as he was an absolute sweetheart for his entire shoot. Looking at the ‘rabbit’ out the window, showing me his books and playing with his trains and basketballs – he was just 100% sweet. I can’t imagine what a good day would be!
