Coming all way from the East Coast to Muskoka, it was fantastic meeting this sweet family. Baby V was a perfect little delight. I think it may be obvious, if you’re a regular blog visitor, but cuddling with little people all afternoon is absolutely one of my favourite things to do. I loved this Muskoka Cottage Session.
I am so honoured to be able to photograph and share Wendy’s belly. She’s a photographer here in Muskoka as well, and a long time friend. Shortly after I gave birth to my little Charlie Wendy photographed the most beautiful session for us. My hope is that I can continue to document this little on for her. Although we were planning for a bright, sunny mid morning session – thank goodness we were veiled in a beautiful cloud of mist. The forest and lake could not have been any more forgiving and romantic. Thank you, Wendy for allowing me to do this for you.
Grown up sisters… These relationships are special, so special and unique. Loving. Supportive… You know… But it would seem the combination of Muskoka cottage holidays, new husbands, wedding anniversaries, happy parents, a bossy photographer and a few cocktails throws families into a wild tail spin of shenanigans. This grown-up group was a pleasure to photograph. I’m not sure that I’ve said it recently but Cottage Sessions on the lake, any lake are really my favourite!
This family is on my blog often, their lives have been well documented. I cherish our relationship very much and am really looking forward to learning all about baby Arlo. Living in Toronto it was likely I’d have to miss his birth, although we did some planning for birth photography. The irony is on the Sunday night that I left the city, passing through their neighbourhood, I messaged momma to say ‘any baby, I can come right now?’ There was no babe yet. And what do you know – less than 24 hours later she was in labour, surrounded by her all people. I missed it. I missed by only hours! Instead we gathered at the cottage near Huntsville yesterday. They cuddled in bed. Changed bums. Fed babies. You know the drill. It was lovely.
I have had the most fantastic weekend. I’ve had my family with me travelling back and forth to Toronto, I went on a date with my husband, and my baby made a new friend. This week I took J and Mr. Baby to a few business-y things. One of which was my session with this beautiful 4 month old.
Meet Charlie’s new little buddy Cameron. Cameron is just 3 days younger than my Charlie, he’s got the most expressive little eyes (and eye brows), he’s sweet and calm and very gentle (unlike my pinchy, boisterous little boy), and if you catch him at the right moment he’ll shoot you the most amazing little smile. Best thing about Cameron is the look he gave his dad morning. He lowers his chin, raises his eye brows, looks to his dad and turns his head ever so slightly. If he were a teenager I bet he’d be thinking “Dad, yeah right…you’re full of it!”
Cameron’s mom and I go waaaaay back. Grade 10 or 11 kind of way back. This is the first time we’ve seen each other in 11 years. Crazy. Pretty much the same-same but a bit different.
Enjoy a peek at our new buddy Cameron. Hoping to see them again soon.
