They Grow So Fast! | Chilliwack Baby Photographer

I really love shooting 6-month baby photo sessions (these babies are cute and smiley but not going too far yet!)... but I love them even more when I have also met the little ones as newborns. I love to see how much they have grown and see how their little personalities have begun to develop.

This little lady is one of those babies... and wow, does she ever have a great personality developing! (Plus, she is REALLY cute... with the coolest, naturally-styled, hairdo!) She has some pretty active parents, so I figured she may be an early mover, but I was not ready for how well she had already started crawling. (Oh yes, and apparently she is definitely working on the muscles and balance to be an early walker too!) I expect to see her on her first 5k run by this time next year!

Here are some highlights from her session...

 

Little 7-Day-Old Cuddle-Bug | Chilliwack Newborn Baby Photographer

I had the great pleasure of meeting this little lady, and her family, about a week ago. She was extremely cute, and already developing quite a personality! She gave me a bit of a run for my money, since she much preferred to be cuddled than photographed... I really didn't mind too much though, since I love baby cuddles! It also gave me chance to have a good chat with Mom & Dad too, who are absolutely lovely.

Well, modelling may not be her favourite pastime, but my ninja soothing skills eventually won and here is a little taster of her session...

Having Fun at the Healthy Family Expo! | Vancouver & Chilliwack Event Photographer

Wow... you can tell it's a busy month when I haven't had time to blog for a while... oops! I guess I had better get sharing some of my travels pronto then...

Well, yes, it has been a busy month, and one of the highlights was when I was asked to shoot the Healthy Family Expo, at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Being a family-oriented "gig", it meant that my hubby and girls could actually tag along for once. The girls LOVED it! There were so many fantastic activities to do, as well as some delicious sampling, and great entertainment from the likes of Bobs and Lolo, it made the long day fly by. (AND, I should mention that Bobs & Lola are, by far, the nicest entertainers I have ever met... and that includes all the folks I met during my years of working in UK Radio!)

Here is just a tiny taster of the day...

Oh yes... and the prize for the best photobomb of the day, had to go to the fella from the Naked Coconuts booth...

A Bright-Eyed Little Lady | Mission and Abbotsford Newborn Baby Photographer

I love it when a Milestones Memories Club family visits the studio for their 2nd session... because it means we finally get to meet the special little person behind the bump. This little lady was no different, and once again my cuteness prediction was spot on - she is gorgeous!

She came to visit me at just 7 days old but was already so alert and eager to take everything in! She probably would have been perfectly happy to stay awake for her whole session, but after a good feed and some patient cuddling, using my special-ninja soothing skills, she drifted off into that nice deep sleep, and stayed there for the rest of the session. She was such a delight to photograph - here are a few of my favourite shots...
