Welcome to the world, beautiful little girl... | Surrey Newborn Baby Photographer

When this family walked through the studio door, my heart didn't just melt at the sight of their beautiful new daughter... it disintegrated when I also met her very handsome big brother! Wow, these guys make cute kids!!

A little taste of my morning with a future heartbreaker... | Chilliwack Newborn Baby Photographer

So, after a run of several girls, I finally got chance to snuggle a boy again.... plus I also finally got to road test some seriously cute boy props that I hadn't used yet. Ya know...I have found that the minute you get a really cute new prop that only works on one gender, you can guarantee that you will get a marathon of the other gender. Why is that?!

Anyway... enough of my bizarre rants...onto some images of this gorgeous little man...

Family Shooting Season is OPEN! | Chilliwack Family Photographer

Although, there is no better time to have a family portrait than the present (never put off to tomorrow what you can do today!), it does seem to be a more popular activity in the Fall. Probably because everyone wants a nice photograph to send with their Christmas cards, but they want to get them done before the bad weather takes hold. It is this time of the year that the requests for sessions start to roll in a little faster than normal, and the calendar fills up a lot quicker!

I have decided to make last weekend's Gustavson Family my official starters of this year's Family Shooting Season... because they were just so awesome to shoot and so much fun to work with! I love these guys...

Sleepy Little Angel, Annika | Chilliwack Newborn Photographer

This adorable little peanut was so well-behaved and sleepy - she was a true joy to photograph. In fact, the whole family were a pleasure, including 1-year-old Big Sis, who was a star and came fully armed with many kisses for Little Sis!

Apples, and babies, and weddings... oh my! | Chilliwack Photographer

Wow, it's been a busy month... and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. (No complaints here tho!)

My new Summer resolution, to blog more, seems to be as successful as all of my New Years Resolutions... i.e. not very... so I thought I would chain myself to my desk until I had at least 1 post done. A few weeks, a few commercial shoots, 2 weddings, 2 online courses, a couple of baby shoots, and a lot of Summer activities later and here I am back again to try to get at least 1 post finished!

Of course, all the photo sessions and Summer fun means that some home duties get abandoned. Last weekend was the first chance we got to stay home and catch up with all the jobs we have just talked about for weeks! First up - apple harvest! Our poor heaving apple tree could take it no longer... after 2 years of poor or no apples, it was making up the difference with a mega-crop! So, we dropped everything and launched into a mass harvest and freezing session...

My husband wasn't overly impressed that the workflow slowed down every now and then so that I could record the memory and "pose" the apples (hey, I'm a photographer... what does he expect?!)... but he soon became distracted by the discovery that he could use the apple corer/peeler to make curly fries! (Boys with toys!)
