a little lovin' for levi | whitehorse newborn photographer

When little ones like Levi come to see me at the studio, it's really hard work... hard in the sense that I can't stop shooting. I pull out all my blankets, hats, wraps, bins, baskets and seriously can't stop myself. Especially when they are givin' me gold like this guy. How is it that there are SO many incredibly beautiful babies and I get to photograph them? Kinda like winning the jackpot :)

welcome to the word, levi | whitehorse newborn photographer

This is Levi. He just arrived into the world, not long ago. And believe me, he couldn't have picked nicer parents. His mama and daddy are so happy that he's here and I think they really like him. And who can blame them? Look at that sweet face... makes it easy to like him, no?

a little more everett | whitehorse newborn photographer

Newborn sessions require a tremendous amount of patience and time but the effort ALWAYS pays off. We spent several hours cuddling & shushing until little man decided it was time for a snooze... but when he finally passed out, he gave us GOLD! Enjoy his sweet face.

The photo at the bottom includes his Daddy's special boyhood bunny, Napin who was also photographed with big brother Wyatt. I love it when families bring special keepsakes like this... it adds so much meaning to the images. Love. Love. Love.

tiny baby everett | whitehorse newborn photographer

There are few things that make me get all mooshy like a fuzzy, sweet-smelling new baby can. This wee babe is Everett and he joined me in the studio in March for his newborn session. Of course, we were hard at it for hours and clearly, he was worn right out. It's hard work being a baby. Lucky for me, this stuff is a piece of cake.

introducing khloe | whitehorse newborn photographer

Wowzers, this has been one seriously baby-heavy week! I love giving you this delicious little morsel to enjoy as I head to Vancouver Island to take care of my dad.

This wee darling is Khloe. She is eleven days old and the most committed little sleeper I've ever met! She was zonked out when she walked in the door and stayed that way right up until the end of her session (but really, it was just having her diaper changed that made her test out her lungs!!)

Her Mama, Tenisha just sit back and relaxed while I worked my magic with her precious newborn and the images will steal your heart, I promise!

Earlier this fall, Khloe's daddy, Cody was in a serious dirtbike crash in Porter Creek. Sadly, he did not survive so he didn't even get to meet his sweet baby girl. The following images are to celebrate Cody's life and to hopefully bring this family some healing.

introducing emilia | whitehorse newborn photographer

One of the sweetest ways to spend a morning is photographing a newborn baby. This is the darling Emilia (Emmie) and although she tried to show us her toughest, most stubborn newborn tricks, we persisted and she fell asleep in a very deep & meaningful way! She looks remarkably like her big brother, Nick but is very much a little lady.

She brought all the sweetness that one wee babe could possibly hold and gave us this ::

This sweet little red hat was a gift from a friend and much to our surprise, it fits! Mama said she looks a bit like a garden gnome. I think she's kinda right!

amelia | whitehorse newborn photographer

I am so excited to show off some of my newest fabric backgrounds for newborn sessions!! This is Miss Amelia. She came down to the studio to help me demonstrate to you just how pretty these fabrics are and why you really must call the studio STAT to book YOUR newborn session. I have tons of beautiful colors, textures and coordinating wraps & headbands. Let's see how lovely your new little one will look in images that are styled just for you!


And don't worry, we have a bunch of boy-friendly colors and are eager to put some sweet little fellas in our new bins, boxes & baskets.
And seriously, this stuff is NOT for the faint of heart! Bring a magazine or novel to your session because I do all the work and you get to sit back and just relax. Maybe even catch 40 winks!

lotsa new props | whitehorse baby photographer

Now that the "summer" weather is gone and it's chilly outside again, I've pulled out my knitting needles and am ready to start beefing up my knitted props selection. So far I've added the following goodies to my collection at the studio:

A lovely chocolate brown loosely knit wrap, perfect for newborns. And I spun the yarn for this one myself last fall.

multi colored toque coordinates with purple fleece blanket (size nb-3months)

two pastel multi colored simple beanies that coordinate with the fluffy blue blanket. Fits nb-3 months. Perfect for twins!

These colors make me so happy! Peach, orange, dark red and a tabacco-ish shade in two styles. I'm dying to use the one with the long tail. Both hats coordinate with the dark red fleece blanket. sized for nb-3 months.

these colors are perfect for the little fellas who frequent my studio. Sage green, light tan and a deep olive shade coordinate with this light beige fleece blanket. Hats are nb-3 month sized.

Lively colors including lime green, turquoise, purple, red & orange in three different styles (all sized nb-3 months) coordinate perfectly with the green fleece blanket.

and last but not least, my newest acquisition (compliments of FACEBOOK!!) is this unbelievable antique chair. the design, the shape, the fabric, all make me soooo happy! You gotta call and book a session for your wee ones so we can make some magic with these incredible props!!

the organic bloom frames | whitehorse children's photographer

At the NAPCP retreat in Colorado earlier this year, I had the pleasure of meeting Andrea (AKA Mrs.Bloom) and Rachel from The Organic Bloom frame company. I immediately fell in love with their gorgeous products and decided then and there that this was the company I wanted to work with to bring these frames into the homes of my clients. They are available in myriad colors and shapes (see below). You'll see a huge list of frame styles which are available in nearly every print size imaginable and while they come ready to hang on the wall, they also look super cute on a small easel (especially smaller frames!). They are available as single shapes or as stacked styles. You can mix & match colors to suit your decor and I dare you to get just one!

Start thinking Christmas here, people! There's time yet to get a few of those names scratched off your holiday shopping list! Call the studio today to book your session so you can show off your stellar design sense and enviable style with these frames.

introducing milan | whitehorse newborn photographer

If you remember a few weeks ago, I shared a slideshow of a wee babe being welcomed into the world... well, this is her. I'd like to introduce you to Milan. She is the EASIEST baby I have EVER photographed and while she grunted constantly (like a baby bear, according to Mama) she slept through just about everything we tried. That makes it super easy to create this kind of industrial-strength cuteness.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't extend a sincere, heartfelt thank you to Kelley Ryden & Tracy Raver for sharing their knowledge, tips & foolproof techniques for making newborn sessions a breeze. As a result of the indispensable info I obtained at the NAPCP retreat in Colorado earlier this summer, I am armed with a serious skill set to rock sessions for you and your newborn just like this!

introducing wylder | whitehorse newborn photographer

This is Wylder, he's the first newborn to be photographed in my new Main Street studio. While our session was long, it wasn't all for nothing. This sweet little treasure was a deep sleeper and was an absolute dream to photograph... don't you agree?

Wylder was born on August 7th at Whitehorse General Hospital and even though he was a few days overdue, I'm certain that Mom & Dad would agree that he was worth the wait.

Our session was loaded with creativity and he cooperated just long enough for me to try out a few new blankets & wraps. Hooray!!
